It's the 1950s. Win Berry and his wife have five children: John, Franny, Frank, Lilly, and Egg. The family lives near a boarding school attended by John, Franny, and Frank, and Win has an idea he won't be talked out of: opening a hotel nearby and giving it the name he's always wanted, the Hotel New Hampshire. To make it happen, he needs everyone to pitch in, even the youngest, and the project gets off to a shaky start with more doubts than certainties. The family's first steps in the business make it clear that they don't run like a well-oiled company. Win is confident that sheer tenacity and enthusiasm will be enough to see the plan through, even though no one around him seems as convinced as he is.

Trivia about The Hotel New Hampshire

The male lead was originally going to be played by Tim Hutton, but he dropped out of the project, and Rob Lowe was cast instead.

The producers first asked the band Queen to compose the entire soundtrack, but then changed their minds in favor of classical music. The song "Keep Passing the Open Windows" by Freddie Mercury ended up on his 1984 album The Works.

In the scene where the Austrian government honors the Berry family, the hall doesn't display Austrian flags but rather the flag of Tahiti, with red and white stripes in different proportions.

According to Rob Lowe, the Orion poster showed a cartoon bear, and audiences expected to see Garfield.

John Irving noted that Richardson sped up the story to the rhythm of Offenbach's music, which enhanced the humor and fairy-tale quality of the book, although many supporting characters were reduced to caricatures.

The film marked the big-screen debut of Seth Green, who was ten years old at the time.

The hotel exterior was filmed at the Hotel Tadoussac, a Canadian 1864-year-old establishment located in Tadoussac, Quebec.

It grossed 5,142,858 dollars in the United States and Canada, against an estimated budget of 5.5 million, and earned 1,075,800 dollars during its opening weekend.
