where was ahs hotel filmed
note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said that 'American Horror Story' was filmed inside the Cicada, but the show's hotel was actually inspired by the building. It's since been corrected. LAist regrets this error. Related: Inside The 'American Horror Story' Hotel.
American Horror Story: Hotel takes place in a fictitious creepy Art Deco hotel in downtown Los Angeles, built in the 1920s by a mad man and currently haunted by a number of creepy denizens and a detective hunting down a deranged killer and his personal demons.
