Hotel37: Round Window Film Hero

A serif headline sits beside a short line and a book pill, above a looping room film first seen through a small round window that opens on load and then widens with the scroll until the film fills its whole frame, easing back from a zoom as it goes.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hotel37.tsx plus the button22 sliding-marker pill used for the book action and the text1 word stagger used for the headline.

Quick start

The installed file exports hotel37Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working section in one line.

import { Hotel37, hotel37Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hotel37";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hotel37 {...hotel37Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Hotel37 } from "@/components/beste/block/hotel37";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hotel37
      eyebrow="The Sea Suite"
      heading="Wake up and let the curtains do the talking."
      description="An arched door, salt air through the linen and the Paros cove waiting outside."
      button={{ label: "Book the Sea Suite", href: "/rooms/sea-suite", tone: "dark" }}
      video={{
        src: "https://oud.pics/b/hotel/ostria-video-sea-suite.mp4",
        poster: "https://oud.pics/b/hotel/ostria-sea-suite.webp",
        label: "Linen curtains moving beside an arched door open onto the sea",
      }}
      labels={{ play: "Play", pause: "Pause" }}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

• The frame is masked by a circle() clip path. On load the circle animates from 0 to a 24% radius over 1.8 seconds after a 0.5 second delay.
• Scrolling widens the circle from 24% to 75%, enough to reveal the whole frame, over the last 65% of the stage's travel from the bottom of the viewport to its center, while the video scales from 125% back to 100%.
• The film is muted, looped and inline. The round button at the bottom right plays or pauses it and swaps icon and aria-label from the video's play and pause events; it sits outside the clip, so it stays visible while the window is small.
• The description and button fade in together after the headline, timed from its word count.
• The frame is 4:5 on a phone and 16:10 from sm; from lg the headline takes eight of twelve columns and the description column the other four.
• With reduced motion the circle is fixed fully open, the video is not zoomed and stays paused on its poster, and the text entrances are skipped.
• Without video the stage and its play button are not rendered.
