A teenage girl visits the monument of the writer who penned the book, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. In 1968, that author was inspired to write the book when he visited that hotel, located in the European mountainous country formerly known as Zubrowka. Once a luxurious hotel, it, in 1968, has fallen on hard times. The author meets the then current owner, Mr. Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham), who recounts the story of how he became the hotel’s owner and why he holds onto it and keeps it open despite it obviously making him no money. Zero’s story begins in 1932, when the hotel was in its golden era. Zero (Tony Revolori) was the novice immigrant lobby boy, who, like all the other hotel staff, was under the guidance of M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the devoted concierge. Gustave aimed to please, he giving the guests whatever they wanted, especially the wealthy blonde women. The story largely revolves around one of those women, the wealthy Madame Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe-und-Taxis – better known as Madame D. (Tilda Swinton) – her opportunistic son Dmitri (Adrian Brody), the bequeathing of a valuable painting called “Boy with Apple” to Gustave, the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death which is initially pinned on Gustave, and the attempts of Zero, his girlfriend – a baker’s assistant named Agatha (Saoirse Ronan) – and others to clear Gustave’s name while Dmitri does whatever he needs to get what he believes is rightfully his, namely the painting.

一个十几岁的女孩参观了写这本书的作家的纪念碑《布达佩斯大酒店》。1968年，这位作家在参观这家酒店时，受到了写这本书的启发。这家酒店位于欧洲山区，原名祖布劳卡。它曾是一家豪华酒店，但在1968年却陷入了困境。作者与当时的所有者Zero Moustafa先生（F.Murray Abraham）会面，他讲述了他如何成为酒店所有者的故事，以及为什么他坚持酒店，并保持酒店的开放，尽管这显然让他赚不到钱。Zero的故事始于1932年，当时该酒店正处于黄金时代。Zero（托尼·雷沃洛里饰）是一个新移民大堂男孩，和其他酒店员工一样，他也在忠诚的门房M.Gustave（拉尔夫·费恩斯饰）的指导下。古斯塔夫的目的是取悦客人，他给客人任何他们想要的东西，尤其是富有的金发女人。故事主要围绕其中一位女性展开，富有的塞琳·维伦纽夫·德斯戈夫和出租车夫人——更广为人知的是D夫人（蒂尔达·斯温顿）——她机会主义的儿子德米特里（阿德里安·布罗迪），一幅名为《带苹果的男孩》的名画遗赠给古斯塔夫，围绕她死亡的神秘情况最初被寄托在古斯塔夫身上，他的女朋友零（一位名叫阿加莎（Saoirse Ronan）的面包师助手）和其他人试图清除古斯塔夫的名字，而德米特里则想尽一切办法得到他认为属于自己的东西，即这幅画。
