Bag titlen Hotel Atlantic gemmer sig et af de store mesterværker fra stumfilmstiden, nemlig F.W.Murnaus Der letzte Mann. I en ægte filmisk stil, næsten uden brug af indskudte tekster, fortælles historien om hotelportieren (Emil Jannings), som på grund af alder degraderes til toiletpasser. Filmen beskriver nådesløst den gamle mands sociale nedtur, herunder prestigetabet ved den manglende uniform. Men til sidst sker der noget helt uventet.
