Iconic Mid-Century Motel On Highway 90 – Ideal For Productions

Step back into 1960s coastal Americana at The Motel — a restored retro roadside motel located along Highway 90 in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. With bold vintage colors, classic exterior corridors, palm trees, and a laid-back beach vibe, this location offers an authentic mid-century backdrop perfect for film productions, photoshoots, music videos, commercials, and editorial work. The property features a mix of single-story and two-story motel wings, giving productions a variety of looks, from door-front parking to cozy courtyard moments. Each guest room blends clean, modern comfort with retro-inspired design — warm tones, nostalgic artwork, and simple layouts that are easy to light and shoot. Outdoors, productions can take advantage of the central courtyard, pool area, retro loungers, sunbursts, and the colorful façade that instantly reads “Americana.” The long exterior walkways and large parking lot make staging and equipment setup straightforward for crews of all sizes.
