What's left behind the scenes
- Johnny Depp was initially cast in the lead role but later dropped out of the project.
- The name of Bill Murray’s character can be read in Hungarian as “Mi Van?”, which means “What’s happening?”.
- Tilda Swinton was made up for several hours to transform into the image of an 84-year-old widow.
- Angela Lansbury could have played a role in this film, but she declined due to scheduling conflicts, and the role went to Tilda Swinton.
- Jeff Goldblum plays Kovacs. He previously played the role of comedian Ernie Kovacs in "Ernie Kovacs: Between the Laughter" (1984).
- Wes Anderson used the old, Art Deco-style Karstadt department store in Görlitz, Saxony, on the border of Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland, as the setting for the Grand Budapest Hotel.
- Wes Anderson shot the film in three different aspect ratios: 1.33, 1.85, and 2.35:1, corresponding to three different time periods. The varying frame proportions cue the audience as to which time period is on screen.
- In fact, the painting "Boy with an Apple" was not painted by Johann van Hoytem the Younger, as stated in the film, but by the well-known English portraitist Michael Taylor, commissioned by the director, Wes Anderson.
- Ralph Fiennes, Edward Norton, and Harvey Keitel starred together in "Red Dragon" (2002).
- The snow-covered mountains in the background of the wedding scene are the so-called Saxon Switzerland, the German part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
- In the scene where Agatha is talking to Zero in the bedroom, the strap of her nightgown slips off her shoulder in one shot, but is back on in the next.
- When Henckels gives Gustave a temporary pass for Zero on the train, one edge of the paper is folded in the wide shot, but the sheet is smooth in the close-up.
- When the characters begin chasing Jopling and run out of the temple, there is nothing near the exit. However, in the next scene, after Jopling leaves on skis, sleighs with sculptures appear on both sides of the temple doors, one of which Zero "borrowed" for the chase.
