context_page_description: The Grand Hotel Rimini is a five star-hotel located in Rimini, Italy.
  It is known for its elegance, classic style, and association with the famous Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini.
  It is the only five-star hotel in the city, as well as the only hotel on the coast with its own private beach; consequently it is very popular during the summer season.
context_section_description: The hotel became world-famous through Federico Fellini's films. As a poor child growing up in Rimini, he often looked through the gates of the hotel in awe, dreaming of a life of luxury like the hotel's guests. These childhood memories inspired some of his most successful films. The Grand Hotel is featured particularly in his film Amarcord, where it is in the background of some of the film's most memorable scenes. 
  Fellini himself loved to be a guest at the Grand Hotel once he was successful, and stayed in his favourite suite on a regular basis. Today, some guests specifically request to stay in that room. It was actually in this room, while talking on the phone, where he had the collapse that ultimately led to his death. The friend he was talking to on the phone heard a sudden silence from the other end, and called the Grand Hotel back immediately to ask them to check to see if Fellini was alright. They found him lying on the floor, and he was rushed to hospital. He later died in Rome.
