Wes Anderson’s 2007 short film starring Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman is titled Hotel Chevalier. It functions as a prologue to The Darjeeling Limited, although it can also be viewed independently.
The short follows Jack Whitman, played by Schwartzman, as he stays in a Paris hotel and receives an unexpected visit from a former lover, played by Portman. Its intimate setting and carefully composed rooms contrast with the larger train journey that follows in The Darjeeling Limited.
Hotel Chevalier was initially released online before being shown in connection with the feature film. The short also includes the song “Where Do You Go To (My Lovely?)” by Peter Sarstedt, which became strongly associated with the sequence.
A common mix-up is choosing Castello Cavalcanti, another Wes Anderson short, which stars Jason Schwartzman but not Natalie Portman. The title here refers specifically to the Paris hotel where Jack’s reunion takes place.
