I totally get why you’d think that — hotel lobby lighting + pro‑grade editing can sometimes give photos that ultra‑polished look. But this one is actually a real shot from the lobby during the shoot.
For these kinds of promo sessions, the creative team handles everything: the lighting setup, the colour grading, the texture cleanup, and their own enhancement techniques. Hotels and agencies usually want a very specific aesthetic, so the final images often look more refined than what you’d get straight from a phone camera.

I don't buy a word of this, unless the photo post-processing was so heavy on the AI that it basically ruined the photo. So many details are not "real", I'm not sure where to begin.
