I Am a Hotel

I Am a Hotel is a 1983 Canadian made for TV short musical film, written by Leonard Cohen and Mark Shekter and directed by Allan F. Nicholls.

The storyline is based on imaginary events in the King Edward Hotel in Toronto, and the guests' (usually romantic) interactions with each other.

[1] Leonard Cohen had the idea for the film based upon his personal experiences and his song "The Guests".

[2][3] Cohen features frequently, as an amused bystander ('the Resident').

The final credits give the makers as 'Blue Memorial Video Ltd' and dedicate the piece to David Blue (1941-1982).
