Sleep on the other side of big screen

A new movie-themed hotel enables fans to stay overnight in their favorite flicks.

Light Movietel - a portmanteau of "movie" and "hotel" - which opened last month in Hebei province's Baoding, offers 61 rooms designed according to 10 themes featuring decorations based on blockbusters, actors and classics.

Ten nearly life-size Marilyn Monroe statues inside and outside the hotel strike the iconic "flying-skirt" pose captured by photographer Sam Shaw in 1954.
