The Sedgewick Hotel wasn’t actually located in New York City. This was one of the few filming locations that directors chose to shoot in Los Angeles that was not on a soundstage. The Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles has been featured in many films from 10 Things I Hate About You to Pretty in Pink to Ocean’s 11 and is still just as beautiful as it looked in Ghostbusters.

The Devil’s Kettle Fall where Jennifer is sacrificed is located in Judge C.R. Magney State Park in Grand Marais, Minnesota, just minutes from the Canadian border.
