I was just watching the 2011 film IN TIME, and there is a scene in a hotel lobby that looks exactly like the lobby in the King Edward Hotel in PRIVATE PARTS. So, I'm guessing that the lobby is in a real hotel, not just an elaborate set. Does anybody know the name of the hotel that "played" the King Edward Hotel? I'm assuming that it's in Los Angeles.

Hey - there actually is a hotel in downtown l.a. called the king edward. I was smitten by the place in all its seedy charm when I first saw it in P.P. and then I saw the hotel in an episode of the tv show Starsky and Hutch which is also in L.A. Lo and behold I looked it up on Google and the place is still standing and does still indeed operate as a motel! And from the reviews it got it's every bit as seedy as it was in the 70s. I thought that was pretty wild. So apparently it's the real deal.
shareI added the King Edward Hotel under filming locations for this film.

I've seen that main lobby of the King Edward Hotel used in a couple of other films as well. However, I don't know if the actual hotel had a different name, or if it really was called the King Edward. Some Angelenos probably know the answer to that.
