In 1990, Jim Henson Productions released a film adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Witches. The Nicolas Roeg directed movies was in mostly filmed at The Headland hotel in Newquay, in Cornwall England. An actual hotel you can actually stay in.
While the famous ballroom scene was filmed at a studio soundstage, the exterior (renamed the Hotel Excelsior), lobby, hallways, dining areas and other parts of the hotel were used in the film.

Rooms 223, 227 and 205 were used for some of the bedroom scenes.
The Headland hotel as looks today:
You can book a stay at the Hotel Excelsior, I mean the Headland here.
(Just beware of the soup!)
The Witches is available on Bluray and DVD from Amazon and is streaming on Netflix.
