Set in a quirky seaside resort known as the Hotel Splendide, the film follows a web of comical misunderstandings, class clashes, and eccentric characters who bring the hotel to life with charm and satire.

The plot centers on the hotel staff and guests, whose lives and personalities collide over a weekend of farcical events. The story unfolds as the pompous hotel manager tries to uphold order in an increasingly chaotic environment. Miscommunication, social faux pas, and absurd situations abound — especially when a high-society lady arrives and sparks intrigue among the male staff and guests.

As the day progresses, the staff’s efforts to impress their elite guests unravel in a series of laugh-out-loud moments. A lost jewel, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements drive the comedy to a delightful crescendo.

While the plot seems lighthearted, Hotel Splendide subtly critiques British social structures and classism, which were especially relevant during the interwar period.
