15 Places That Feel Like a Wes Anderson Film

These locations look like they came straight out of the director’s imagination.

By now, Wes Anderson’s style has been so widely parodied that the American writer and film director is probably better known for the visual design of his sets than the narratives of his films. Anderson is keen on elaborate, dollhouse-like sets with perfect symmetry, pastel color schemes, and vintage typography. The result is a world that feels of a bygone era but somehow also timeless.

In the list below, you’ll find historic grand hotels, old-timey confectionaries, and midcentury toy museums—all places in the Atlas that effectively capture the distinctly charming quality of a Wes Anderson film. Some even served as actual film locations in a couple of his productions.
