Hotel Lobby AI is the viral trend that turns two friends into performers sharing one hanging mic in an orange booth, trading verses, blowing kisses and dancing. Pose AI recreates it with a ready-made template, and its native video tools, Kling 3.0 and SeedDance 2.5, can also render a text-to-video version from a prompt. The Hotel Lobby AI trend transforms any two friends into performers in the classic orange booth setup. You'll see curly-haired and blonde women trading verses at a single hanging mic, hyping each other with watch taps, blown kisses, and synchronized dancing. To recreate it, you need two clear, front-facing photos. The song is built into templates. This guide covers the fastest template method and a free prompt for text-to-video tools.
How to do the Hotel Lobby trend
You need: 2 clear, front-facing photos (one per person). The song is built into the template.
- 1Open the Hotel Lobby template in Pose (link below).
- 2Sign up or log in.
- 3Select the hotel lobby reference.
- 4Upload clear, front-facing photo of yourself and the other person.
- 5Generate your clip, then download or share it.
Free prompt: the close-enough version
Free, close-enough text-to-video prompt for Gemini (Veo) or ChatGPT (Sora) with your photos. It gets near the effect but can't match it: the exact result needs the reference video, which the Pose template uses.
Create a 23-second video in an orange studio with a yellow floor and one silver microphone hanging from the ceiling. Two women stand under the mic throughout:
Left woman: curly dark hair, white blouse, light jeans.
Right woman: wavy blonde bob, black slip dress.
0-1.4s: Wide shot. Both stand close together under the mic, heads touching, as they begin.
1.4-5.75s: Medium shot with both in frame. The curly-haired woman performs toward the mic with eyes half-closed. The blonde taps her wrist like pointing at a watch and moves to rhythm beside her.
5.75-12.75s: Closer medium shot. The curly-haired woman leans toward the mic and gestures with her hands while performing. The blonde responds with hand gestures, looks down, adjusts her dress, then turns her back to camera and flips her hair around the 10-12 second mark.
12.75-16.4s: Close medium shot. Both blow kisses toward camera around 13.7 seconds. The blonde then does a shading-eyes, looking-into-distance pose around 15.6 seconds while the other continues gesturing.
16.4-19.8s: Pull back to wide shot. Both dance and groove in the booth. The blonde throws one arm up. This is the most energetic, playful moment.
19.8-22.5s: Return to medium shot. The curly-haired woman performs toward the blonde, who stands calmer, looking down with a cool, unbothered expression.
22.5-23s: Medium shot ending. The curly-haired woman swings away dancing while the blonde holds her pose.
Keep both faces unchanged throughout. Maintain warm orange lighting and the yellow floor visible in wide shots. The video shows performance gestures and movement only—audio will be added separately.Camera motion prompts for the lobby
Add one camera move to the lobby scene: slow dolly through the lobby toward the reception desk; smooth pan across the reception area from left to right; gentle push-in on the two people as they start the routine. Keep to one move per clip. Motion Control in the Pose Video Studio (Kling 3.0) is built for directing this kind of camera movement.
