Terence Rattigan's SEPARATE TABLES - the "Beauregard" hotel in Bournemouth the genteel façade revealed a hotel awash with seething passions..memorably enacted by Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr, Rita Hayworth, David Niven, Wendy Hiller & Gladys Cooper
Also check out Rattigan's THE WAY TO THE STARS, where the local pub offers accommodation ... and in Renee Asherson and Joyce Carey's characters you get a whiff of the Railton Bells, who got a more fleshed out airing by Cooper & Kerr in the latter film.

In Louis Malle’s New Wave thriller “Elevator To The Gallows” (1958), the young couple drives out of Paris to the country at night. As they stop for the night, the woman exclaims (at least according to the subtitle), “A motel! I’ve heard of those!” So, ’58 was early days on the continent for motels.

There are so, so many; just some occurring to me at random: Holiday Inn (1942) "But what an inn!" How can you go wrong? The charm of Crosby and Astaire, no fewer than a dozen numbers by Irving Berlin, and a witty script. TED: "Think of diamonds, think of sables, of your own little penthouse."LILA: "Is that a promise?"TED: "Well, just...think about them for the time being."
Seven Keys To BaldpateOriginating as a novel by Charlie Chan creator Earl Derr Biggers and adapted for the stage by George M. Cohan, it was filmed for the big screen six times between 1916 and 1947 (1929 version pictured). On a bet, an author holes up at a remote rural inn in the off-season to finish a novel in 24 hours, provided with what the owner tells him is the only key. Before the night's over, six more show up, each holding what they also believe is the only key, with disappearances and deaths to follow. Topper (1937) With less-than-welcome help from ghosts Marion and George Kerby, banker Cosmo Topper wreaks all manner of havoc at the Seabreeze Hotel (the exterior of which was shot at the rear entrance of Bullock's Wilshire). My Favorite Wife (1940)/ Move Over Darling (1963) Speaking of hotel havoc, Cary Grant and James Garner create some for managers Douglas MacBride... ...and Fred Clark... ...when each checks into a honeymoon hotel with two wives in tow. Bagdad Cafe (1987) In Percy Adlon's offbeat charmer, Marianne Sagebrecht brings change to the lives of proprietor CCH Pounder and the guests of her miles-from-nowhere motel.

May I offer a tiny correction? I think you mean Frantic.

May I offer a tiny correction? I think you mean Frantic. Of course I did, Doghouse -- thanks for the correction.
Sorry about that. I often get Polanski and Hitchcock titles confused -- CHINATOWN with SPELLBOUND, etc.
Some other title mixups -- REBECCA'S BABY, KNIFE IN THE LIFEBOAT, TESS VANISHES, PIANIST ON A TRAIN, etc.
The misses just keep on coming.

Now I think of it, Hitchcock's Frenzy did indeed feature a hotel: The Coburg in Kensington, from which on-the-lam Blaney and girlfriend Babs make a narrow escape from the police (summoned by a suspicious porter).
