“It’s not real,” Loki Laufeyson (Tom Hiddleston) remarked as he took in the surroundings of the Time Variance Authority headquarters. “It is,” replied Agent Mobius (Owen Wilson).

Mobius is right. Given the cinematic, Doctor Strange-esque value of the TVA building in Disney+’s Loki series, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if much of its scenes had been shot against a green screen; it’s so riveting, it serves as the backdrop for the official poster. Yet, such a monument exists in this universe, and it’s called the Atlanta Marriott Marquis hotel.

This means you don’t need to mess up a timeline to get to the 52-story architectural delight. Plus, at rates starting from US$107 per night, you’d be here willingly.

Completed in 1985 by architect John C. Portman, Jr, the four-star, 1,663-room hotel cost a lofty US$150 million to build, House Beautiful reports. At the time, its 470 foot-high atrium—the iconic backdrop of several scenes from Loki—held the title for highest atrium in the world.

Of course, Marvel Studios took creative liberties to dramatize the setting, including adding mammoth statues of the Time-Keepers in front of elevators and replacing the atrium’s seating with a cityscape of flying vehicles.

Aside from Loki, this Marriott property also made its appearance in notable films, like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
