The Tipton Hotel is a fictional hotel from the Disney Channel television series The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. It is the main setting for the series, particularly the lobby, the basement, the Tipton's 5-star restaurant, the ballroom, the game room, the Martins' suite on the 23rd floor, and London Tipton's penthouse. The Imperial Suite is the third largest room in the hotel and is where most celebrities (and show guest stars) stay.

[edit] Trivia

  • The Tipton Building itself doesn't exist, shots of the building's exterior are special effects.
  • The various external shots of the Tipton Hotel along with views from the windows of the Martin's and London's suites would place the hotel in several different locations around Boston. One external shot has the John Hancock Tower close by. That would put the hotel in the Back Bay section of Boston. Views from the suites would put the hotel down near the waterfront as the buildings seen outside the window are all near the New England Aquarium. Lastly, in "Birdman of Boston", "Bubba" the hawk, at the end of the show, is seen flying around an open area with a church in the background. That church is the Park Street Church, so that shot would put the hotel right on the Boston Common.
  • Tipton Industries is presumed to be a parody of the Hilton Hotel chain.
  • The Tipton has 28 floors.
  • Treasure was rumored to be hidden somewhere in the hotel left by mobster Alphonse "Hot Peppers" DeLeo.
  • Suite 613 is rumored to be haunted by a ghost named Irene (Not to be confused with Irene the Concierge).
  • Although the Tipton hotel where the show is set is supposed to be in Boston, Massachusetts, the hotel exteriors shown in the series are actually the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia.
  • On the roof, there's a pool, satellite dish, and ice cream and smoothie bars.
  • The Tipton Hotel was established in 1923.
  • On the site of the hotel was the original Tipton Inn which dated back to the Colonial period as shown in Boston Tea Party. The layout of the lobby has not changed in 230 years.
  • There are currently two commercials for the Tipton, both of which air on Disney Channel. The first commercial is the Tipton staff singing "It's Your Place to Stay" on the episode Commercial Breaks. The other, which plays regularly on Disney Channel as an ad for The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, mainly brags "When you need to rest, forget the rest!"
