The titular hotel is a lavish resort, hosted by Count Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler), where monsters and their families can relax without being hounded by angry humans.

For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
