The Academy Awards are a highlight for any film buff, and we're eager to see who will take home the coveted honors Feb. 28. And just as we cheer on our favorite stars and movies of the year, so, too, do we revel in the mini escape these same flicks provide.
But rather than simply daydreaming about the fantasy world, why not live it?

Film: "Carol"
The Plaza in New York
If you literally want to walk in the steps of Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara from "Carol," then head to the Plaza hotel in New York. This internationally renowned property is the epitome of luxury and retains many of the same qualities as it did in the 1950s when this film takes place. The backdrop of the Plaza’s historic Oak Room bar was so perfect, it was used as the setting for the film's heartwarming close.
Film: "Spotlight"
The Press Hotel, Autograph Collection in Portland, Maine
If watching the characters in the hit film "Spotlight" take over the Boston Globe's newsroom really whet your appetite, then you're in for a treat at this Northeastern retreat housed in the building formerly occupied by the Portland Press Herald. The hotel takes its journalistic history to heart, as the decor is heavily themed around the newspaper business, including stylish furnishings such as classic typewriters and vintage office desks and chairs. The hotel’s bar, the Inkwell, once housed the newspaper’s busy city room.

Film: "The Big Short"
The Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park Hotel
While it's unlikely you'll see Ryan Gosling or Brad Pitt at this five-star hotel, it is on the edge of the city’s bustling financial district where their movie "The Big Short" took place. From the property you get incredible views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty, and it still remains a favorite hangout for Wall Street’s businessmen.
Film: "The Danish Girl"
Nimb Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark
Eddie Redmayne is up for another Oscar this year for his role in "The Danish Girl," which takes place in Copenhagen during the early 20th century.

The Moorish-style building features a blend of 20s design with modern furnishings.

Silken Puerta America in Madrid, Spain

Film: "The Revenant"
Glacier Under Canvas in Coram, Montana
Watching Leonardo DiCaprio struggle on screen in "The Revenant" didn't exactly make us think of a luxury.

You can choose to relax or get a bit more active like DiCaprio by venturing to nearby Glacier National Park or to the North American Wildlife Museum.
