Hotel Italia is a gay pornographic film directed by Lucas Kazan in 1999.

"Every once in a while, a video comes along without fanfare that surprises even the most jaded of critics", writes Jeremy Spencer in "AVN". "Hotel Italia, shot entirely in Italy and filled with gorgeous men, romantic videography and incredible sex, is one of those videos".[1] A 2000 GayVN Award Nominee for Best Foreign Release, Best Director and Best Videography,[2] Hotel Italia won the 7th Hard Choice Awards for Best Video and Best Director.[3] It was shot on location in Santa Margherita Ligure and all over the Italian Riviera (Portofino, Portovenere and the Cinque Terre) and it was followed by Hotel Italia 2: The Innkeeper in 2003.
