‘The White Lotus’ Has Found Its Perfect Hotel

Few experiences can match the thrill of arriving at the Hôtel Martinez during the Cannes Film Festival. The scene feels as though it were ripped directly from the arrival sequence of any of the past three seasons of the hit series 'The White Lotus.' Guests experience a descent into organized, performative chaos, which unfolds under the watchful eyes of an unflinching, five-star-trained hospitality staff.[1]

The specific details of the property further cement its status as the ideal setting for such a narrative. The Hôtel Martinez is equipped with tiny elevators and features exclusive loungers that are marked with celebrity name tags. Adding to the atmosphere, the general manager has been known to joke about fake stars attempting to slip past the building's security measures, proving the hotel was truly born for this kind of environment.[2]

Together, the five-star service, the celebrity-focused amenities, and the bustling festival environment create a perfect real-life parallel to the fictional resorts. The combination of high-profile guests and performative chaos makes the Hôtel Martinez a natural fit for the dramatic tension associated with 'The White Lotus.'[1][2]

Subnautica 2's no-killing ethos "will be a continued point of resistance" among players, say Unknown Worlds, but they have no plans to change it

With the early access release of otherworldly diving sim Subnautica 2 , developers Unknown Worlds are dealing with some familiar criticisms about the new survival game 's absence of weaponry or outright combat elements. Speaking to RPS among other journalists in a roundtable interview, design lead Anthony Gallegos acknowledged that Subnautica 2's emphasis on living with, rather than confronting larger, dangerous organisms will be "a continued point of resistance" for some players, while reiterating that it's the heart of the game.
