History Film / HotelArtemis

* AnAxeToGrind: [[spoiler:Everest grabs one to fight off Crosby's goons]].

* MeanBoss: During the opening bank robbery, noting how many domestic servants are there asks how many of them work for millionaires. When over a dozen of them stand up, he says to stay standing "if your boss is an asshole" and only one man sits down. A search of their bags quickly shows that said rich, "asshole" bosses had sent all of their lootable valuables to the bank to keep safe from the riot, but been too cowardly to take to the streets themselves, and so sent the servants.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPay:
-->'''Acapulco:''' Nice.
-->'''Nice:''' It's pronounced "Neece."
-->'''Acapulco:''' I was talking about your ass.

* FauxAffablyEvil: The Wolf King.

* HoneyTrap: How the Wolf King was wounded by [[spoiler: Nice]].

* InsistentTerminology: Everest is a 'healthcare professional'.

* LocationThemeNaming: As part of the hotel's promise of discretion, all the patients are given codenames after the room they're staying in: Acapulco, Nice, Honolulu, and Niagara. Honolulu's brother is dubbed Waikiki, and the Nurse's right hand orderly is called Everest.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Nice is last seen beat up but standing against a group of goons. A mid credits sequence shows a shadow running past the camera in the hotel implying she survived.]]

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Wolf King's son Crosby is utterly devoted to his father. Unfortunately, the sentiment is not returned.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: The film is set in a cyberpunk near-future vision of Los Angeles. The Nurse does surgery using nanites for reconstruction work, 3D printed organs, and robot auto-doctors.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: All the tech in the film is based on real world projections. If anything, it's holding back (see UsedFuture, below, for explanation). For instance, the organ printer is already in use, just rare.

* SpeculativeScience: All of the technology on display is based on real world predecessors. The most unrealistic -- a drug with a TruthSerum side-effect -- is implied to lower the victim's inhibitions and leave him open to suggestion, rather than a true truth serum.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: [[spoiler:'''The Nurse:''' I have one question for you, Orian: did you know my son?]]

* BolivianArmyEnding: [[spoiler: It would appear that Everest and Nice are subject to these, each in their own LastStand. Subverted: Everest is explicitly shown to survive and is set to continue running the Hotel Artemis, and a blur runs past the camera in the midcredit scene implying that Nice survived as well.]]

* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailers ''completely'' mischaracterize the plot of the movie, as they imply that the Wolf King is main villain, attacking the hotel to retrieve his property and forcing the other guests and staff to band together to fight him. As a matter of fact, the Wolf King comes to the hotel as a ''patient'', fully complies with the rules, [[spoiler:and has no idea the brothers are there.]]

* TheChewToy: [[spoiler:Acapulco. It's not that all of the things that happen to him are specifically meant to target him; he just absorbs a lot of bad luck in a short timespan. Between being humiliated twice trying (clumsily) to come on to Nice, dealing with an uncooperative operator trying to book a chopper out of town, being right next to Nice's sabotage charge going off, his chopper being in sight but leaving without him, and getting his head speared by a 3D printer, practically every scene the man is in shows how it's just not his day.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: Waikiki and Honululu inadvertently steal the Wolf King's property and end up at the Hotel Artemis for treatment on the very same day the Wolf King check into it [[spoiler:because Waikiki's assassin ex-girlfriend wounded him to lure him there for a close up kill.]]

* GentleGiant: Everest is pretty polite and nice guy as long as you obey the Artemis' rules. If you don't he will gladly and easily beat you up.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Inverted. Of the bank heist crew, there's only one caucasian, and he's the only one who definitely dies.

* ChekhovsGun:

** On the cyber side, the Nurse has robots that assist with surgery, there are 3D-printed organs, the room doors all use {{Retraux}}-style keys that work like key cards on a much smaller scale, membership is checked by way of scanning chips planted under the skin on the wrist, Nice has a cybernetic eye that lets her livestream her kills to her clients and Acapulco is an arms dealer who uses 3D-printed weaponry and sneaks a gun past the scanners by having a card that contains the blueprint for it.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: The last we see of the fighting in the Artemis, Everest and Nice are seemingly being overwhelmed by the mobsters... then in the last scene, Everest is shown switching the lights back on, revealing he at least beat them all.]]

** [[spoiler:The diamonds the brothers steal from the Wolf King. The Wolf King didn't come to the hotel looking for them, never found out the brothers were at the hotel and given the likely time he was shot, may not have been even aware that they had been stolen in the first place.]]

* AffablyEvil: The Wolf King.

* MeaningfulName: Nice is not pronounced 'nice,' and is ''not'' nice. Everest, as well, is played by Dave Bautista, a former professional wrestler for [[{{Wrestling/WWE}} WWE]]. Everest's is [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by the Nurse.

* TheLoad: It's mentioned several times that Waikiki could have been more than just a bank robber if he weren't held back by his brother, Honolulu. Honolulu also stole a pen-safe belonging to the [[TheDreaded Wolf King of LA]] who makes sure that anyone that steals from him, knowing or not, pays with their lives. Waikiki even straight-out says that he's built his life around looking after Honolulu, even though he wanted to do other things, and that he's fully aware staying in the Artemis when the Wolf King is stupid, but he's going to do it anyway because Honolulu won't leave.

* YoungestChildWins: Briefly teased but subverted. Crosby is explicitly said to be the youngest of the Wolf King's sons, and receives little respect despite his loyalty. During the cimlcx, Waikiki offers him a flash drive containing leverage he could use to succeed his father, with Crosby taking it, but then trying to kill [[spoiler:The Nurse]] anyway, screwing it up for himself.

* RedHerring: [[spoiler:The diamonds the brothers steal from the Wolf King. The Wolf King didn't come to the hotel looking for them, never found out the brothers were at the hotel and given the likely time he was shot, may not have been even aware that they had been stolen in the first place.]]

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Nice severely wounded the Wolf King, then shot herself in order to check herself into the Hotel so that she could kill him when he eventually came here.]]

* TheLoad: It's mentioned several times that Waikiki could have been more than just a bank robber if he weren't held back by his brother, Honolulu. Honolulu also stole a pen-safe belonging to the [[TheDreaded Wolf King of LA]] who makes sure that anyone that steals from him, knowing or not, pays with their lives. Waikiki even straight-out says that he's built his life around looking after Honolulu, even though he wanted to do other things, and that he's fully aware staying in the Artemis when the Wolf King is

* YouShallNotPass: During the climax, [[spoiler: Everest and Nice hold off the Wolf King's men so that the Nurse and Waikiki can escape.]]

* MeaningfulName: Nice is not pronounced 'nice,' and is ''not'' nice. Everest, as well, is played by Dave Bautista, a former professional wrestler for [[Wrestling/WWE WWE]]. Everest's is [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] by the Nurse.

* MeaningfulName: Nice is not pronounced 'nice,' and is ''not'' nice.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: On on-screen, one repeatedly mentioned:

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Acapulco is stabbed in the head and then his head is filled with artificial tissue. It's not quick, either, as he's feebly trying to stand and get loose for nearly a minute before he's finally shown slumping for good.]]

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: All the characters, and is how the Hotel operates.
