How to Make the Hotel Lobby AI Video from Two Photos (2026 Guide)
Updated · Published by getairap
Use getairap’s Hotel Lobby AI creator to turn two separate selfies (or one joint photo) into an ~12-second, 720p, 9:16 orange-booth rap duet around one shared hanging microphone—with alternating original AI vocals, five editable or automatic English lyric lines, and a one-time video credit instead of a monthly subscription.
Watching the public sample and preparing your photos on this page are free. Rendering your personal watermark-free MP4 requires sign-in and one video credit ($4.90 first video within 24 hours of signup for eligible new users, once per person; $9.90 regular single video; see all one-time packs). Jump straight to the embedded Hotel Lobby photo uploader below or follow the five-step walkthrough first.
What is the Hotel Lobby orange-booth AI rap trend?
The viral two-person “Hotel Lobby” AI format places two friends side by side in a warm retro orange booth with a single studio microphone hanging between them, trading bars back and forth in one continuous vertical shot. While social posts borrow the name and cozy booth aesthetic popularized by two-rapper studio visuals, AI generators differ sharply in what happens to the audio.
getairap generates a brand-new beat, original lyrics and two distinct fictional AI voices tailored to your photos and optional topic. It is an independent creative tool: it does not include the commercial “Hotel Lobby” recording, imitate real recording artists, clone either person’s real voice from a photo, or accept MP3 uploads. If your goal is lip-syncing an existing audio file you already have rights to use, read original AI rap versus existing-song lip-sync before spending a credit.
How to make a Hotel Lobby AI rap video in 5 steps
Choose two clear adult portraits (or one photo together)
Pick one front-facing, evenly lit photo per consenting adult with both eyes and the mouth unobstructed. Use JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB and 24 megapixels per image (301 to 5,999 pixels per side). Separate selfies do not need matching backgrounds; if both people are already in one photo together, switch to One photo together mode.
Assign Left and Right performers around the shared mic
Upload Photo 1 for the left performer (who opens the verse) and Photo 2 for the right performer (who answers before the shared closing tag). Check both thumbnails locally on your device and use Swap left / right if you want to reverse who raps first.
Keep the Hotel Lobby orange-booth stage and add an optional topic
Confirm the Hotel Lobby scene so both performers stay framed in the warm orange booth around one hanging microphone. Add names, an inside joke or a milestone in the optional topic box, or leave it blank for a lighthearted friendship duet.
Let AI write the verse automatically or edit five lyric lines
Continue to the /make workbench. You can skip manual writing so AI generates and moderates the five-line English script automatically during rendering, or preview, edit and confirm two LEFT lines, two RIGHT lines and one BOTH closing line (up to 5 free AI text drafts per 24 hours for signed-in accounts, 30 seconds apart, using zero video credits).
Generate with one video credit, verify turn-taking, and download
Sign in and use one video credit ($4.90 first video within 24 hours of signup for eligible new users, once per person; $9.90 regular single video) to render an ~12-second, 720p, 9:16 vertical MP4 without a watermark. Play the finished file with sound to check alternating lines, then download the MP4 from the workbench or My videos.
Compare the two input photos with the orange-booth sample
This direct SeeAPI / Seedance 2.0 API demo (generated on ) uses two synthetic adult portraits, the Hotel Lobby stage prompt and the topic “Best friends, one mic — our unstoppable duo.”. Open either source portrait, then play the MP4 with sound to verify how Photo 1 (left) and Photo 2 (right) trade turns at the hanging mic.

Supplied 5-line input lyric draft — not a verified transcript
These five lines were passed as the input script. Generated vocals can vary pronunciation, phrasing and mouth timing, so listen to the MP4 directly rather than treating the draft as exact captions:
LeftTwo friends, one mic, here we go.Same team, watch us steal the show.
RightYou bring the spark, I bring the flow.Orange lights, now let them know.
BothOur duo, our show!
Which tool should you use for a Hotel Lobby two-photo rap video?
Choose getairap when you want the warm orange-booth shared-microphone scene ready out of the box, explicit Left/Right photo assignment, optional five-line lyric editing (or one-click auto-lyrics), and one-time credit checkout without a recurring subscription. Choose an explicit audio-upload tool when keeping a pre-recorded track matters more than original duet verses, or use SeeAPI directly if you are coding your own backend integration.

Photo consent, privacy and recovery boundaries
- Consenting adults only: Upload only clear adult portraits you have permission to use. Do not upload minors or public figures without permission. Need framing tips? Check how to choose photos for a rap video.
- Local preview & 24-hour draft storage: Selecting photos above keeps them on your device until you continue to generation or credit checkout. Authenticated saved drafts hold private reference photos for up to 24 hours; see the privacy policy for retention and deletion requests.
- Failed renders & recovery: Generated MP4s have no watermark for personal sharing under the Terms of Service. A confirmed failed render returns its reserved video credit once under the refund policy; if a tab closes mid-checkout or while rendering, follow how to recover a rap video instead of submitting a duplicate job.

Questions before you create
Does the Hotel Lobby AI video use the commercial Quavo and Takeoff song?
No. getairap uses an independent orange-booth shared-microphone visual stage and generates a fresh beat, original English lyrics and two fictional AI voices for every render. It does not include the commercial Hotel Lobby recording, clone real voices from photos, or accept MP3 song uploads.
Can I make a Hotel Lobby AI video from two photos for free?
No—watching public samples, testing photo framing locally and previewing up to 5 AI lyric drafts per 24 hours after sign-in are free, while rendering your personal MP4 requires one paid video credit. Eligible new users can buy one first-video credit for $4.90 USD within 24 hours of signup (once per person), and a regular single video credit costs $9.90 USD with no subscription.
Which photo raps first in the Hotel Lobby booth, and can I swap them?
Photo 1 becomes the left performer who raps the opening two lines, and Photo 2 becomes the right performer who answers before both join on the closing tag. In separate-selfie mode, click Swap left / right before continuing to reverse the roles without re-uploading.
Do I have to write my own rap lyrics before generating?
No. You can leave the topic blank and click Skip to video review in the workbench so AI writes and moderates the five-line duet automatically, or you can edit and confirm every line yourself before spending a credit.
Can I use one photo of two people together instead of two separate selfies?
Yes. Switch Photo mode to One photo together and upload a clear adult photo where both faces are unobstructed; the left and right positions in that photo set the left and right performers in the booth.
What happens to my credit if a Hotel Lobby video render fails?
A confirmed failed render automatically returns the reserved video credit to your getairap balance once. Pending or uncertain requests keep the credit reserved until their status resolves, and returning a credit is a balance restoration rather than a cash refund of a pack.
