Hotel Lobby AI Generator
The Hotel Lobby AI trend recasts Quavo and Takeoff's “Hotel Lobby” performance on A COLORS SHOW: two people at one mic in front of a bright orange wall, trading lines and moves. AI swaps in a new duo while the wall, the mic, the camera and the audio stay the same. Upload two photos and MakeMeme puts you and your partner at the mic.

Which photo works best
You and a friend
- One person per photo, face clearly visible
- Head to waist if you can: the shot shows both performers from the knees up
- Even light, no strong shadows across the face
Two pets
- Head and chest in frame, eyes open and in focus
- Sitting or standing up, not curled up or lying flat
- Pets that look different from each other read best side by side
Your own characters
- Front or three-quarter view, upper body visible
- One character per photo on a plain background, no text or logos over it
Avoid
- Both people in one photo — use one photo for each spot
- Sunglasses, masks or a hand covering the face
- Heavy filters, blur or a tiny face in a wide shot
- Photos of celebrities or public figures (they're rejected)

The moment
Your video has the Hotel Lobby back-and-forth
What people love about the clip is the chemistry: two performers sharing one mic, handing the verse back and forth, pointing at each other, turning away and leaning back in on the beat.
Your video keeps that routine on the original timing. The person in your first photo takes the left spot and the one in your second photo takes the right, while the orange wall, the hanging mic and the camera moves stay as they were. No CapCut template to find and nothing to act out — two photos are enough.
- Couples and best friends: the classic duo version
- Two cats or dogs: the version that made the trend explode, keeping each pet's own face and fur
- Your own characters: they keep their designs and take over the stage their way

Background
The performance behind Hotel Lobby
“Hotel Lobby” was the first single from Unc & Phew, Quavo and his nephew Takeoff's duo, released in May 2022. Their performance of it on A COLORS SHOW, the two of them trading verses in front of an orange wall, came months before Takeoff died in November 2022.
In September 2026 the performance came back as an AI trend. A version with two cats spread first, then couples, cartoon characters and movie duos, and Quavo reposted the original performance on September 23.

FAQ
Hotel Lobby AI FAQ
What is the Hotel Lobby AI trend?
+
It's a TikTok and Reels trend from September 2026. People use AI to replace Quavo and Takeoff in their “Hotel Lobby” performance on A COLORS SHOW, so two cats, two cartoon characters, a couple or best friends perform the routine at the orange wall.
How do I make a Hotel Lobby AI video?
+
Upload two photos on this page, one for each spot, and hit Generate. We use the same 15-second cut of the performance as the template videos and swap your photos in, so there's no CapCut template to find and no prompt to write. The original audio is already on the result.
Can I do Hotel Lobby by myself?
+
The routine is a duet, so it needs two photos. Most people pair themselves with a partner, a friend or their pet. You can also upload two different photos of yourself if you want to perform with yourself.
Can I use my cats or dogs?
+
Yes, a version with two cats is one of the most-watched Hotel Lobby videos. The replacement keeps each pet's own face and fur. Use a clear photo of each pet with the head and chest visible.
What AI is used for the Hotel Lobby videos?
+
Many creators use CapCut's Hotel Lobby template or video models such as Seedance and Kling. MakeMeme uses ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 in edit mode on the 15-second cut of the performance, in 4:3 like the template videos, at 480p, 720p or 1080p.
Is the Hotel Lobby trend free?
+
Some apps offer a free trial with a watermark. On MakeMeme each video costs 70 credits at 480p, 150 at 720p or 360 at 1080p, with no watermark, and failed videos are refunded automatically. Most videos are ready in a few minutes, and we email you when yours is done.
Can I put celebrities in it?
+
No. We only make videos with photos of yourself, of people who agreed to it, of your pets or of characters you made. Photos of public figures are rejected.
What resolution is the Hotel Lobby AI video, and how many credits does it cost?
+
You choose before you generate: 70 credits at 480p, 150 at 720p or 360 at 1080p. Every resolution gives the same 15-second landscape 4:3 video; higher resolutions are sharper. Failed videos are refunded automatically.
Only upload photos of yourself or of people who have agreed to be in your video. Photos of public figures are rejected. MakeMeme isn't affiliated with Quavo, Takeoff, Migos or COLORS.
