The Countess (Lady Gaga)
The owner of the titular Hotel Cortez, The Countess is a glamorous but deadly creature
who sustains on a healthy diet of sex and blood — she kills with her
very fashionable but very sharp chainmail glove. “She’s extremely
strong,” explains Gaga. “She’s been through so much. It’s kind of
impossible for anything to penetrate her.”
Donovan (Matt Bomer)
Gaga’s
lover of 20 years finds himself rebuffed when she meets similarly
handsome male model Tristan. Says Bomer, “He’s very interested in
domesticity and sort of nesting and hunkering down and having her to
himself every now and then, and that doesn’t go over so well with her
limitless hunger.”

This fashion designer from New York arrives at the Cortez with his son Lachlan
looking for inspiration. "He comes to the hotel and he is going to turn
part of it into his atelier and of course he gets sucked up into the
Countess," says Murphy.
John Lowe (Wes Bentley)
This
LAPD detective moves into the Cortez in order to investigate a series
of murders perpetrated by the Ten Commandments Killer, who arranges
vicitms according to the biblical dictates. His family, including
pediatrician wife Alex (Chloe Sevigny), get sucked into the Cortez’
darkness. “He has a family he loves very much but that is sort of
falling apart,” says Bentley. “He struggles with a lot of things. It’s
clear most of what John struggles with is control.”
Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett)
A
film star who used to have a romantic relationship with The Countess,
Ramona teams up with Donovan to take revenge on The Countess. Says
Bassett, “They are powerful women at opposite sides and at odds with one
another, each believing that they’re right.”
Claudia (Naomi Campbell)
Campbell
plays a Vogue editor who decides to stay at the Cortez and ends up
regretting it. “She’s kind of outlandish,” says Campbell. “She thinks
she’s indestructible and nothing’s going to hurt her.”
Iris (Kathy Bates)
Donovan’s
mother works at the hotel so she can see her son on a daily basis, even
though he deplores her. Says Bates, “Iris is overprotective with a
capital O, especially now since her son is ill. She wants to be there
every day to make sure he’s all right, and she’s very controlling that
way.”
Tristan (Finn Wittrock)
This
male model catches the eye of The Countess at a fashion show at the
Cortez. “He’s got an addictive personality,” says Wittrock. “I think
he’s hypersexual also. It makes him a prime candidate for the Countess’
charms and he is very willingly seduced and then turned by her.”
