The original title for this film was "The Concierge", but the studio was worried that many people would not know what that meant, so the title was changed several months before release.

The hotel that Doug works as The Concerige is in fact, The Essex Hotel located on 59th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues across the street from Central Park. It is still open to this very day.

Bruce Broughton scored the film as a favor for director Barry Sonnenfeld, who was also his neighbor and best friend.

The majority of the filming took place around Midtown Manhattan for the hotel scenes, Barney's Department Store where Gabrielle Anwar's character works, the Central Park scenes, FAO Schwartz, the jazz club and where Doug chats up with Freddy the horse carrarige rider. While other scenes such as Christian's Mansion in the Hamptons, Doug and Andy's apartments in the city and Doug's dream hotel site in Roosevelt Island were shot not too far away.

Often compared to another movie in which Michael J. Fox is a sort of corporate climber/dreamer in the big city, who falls in love with a beautiful girl having an affair with a suave rich guy... The Secret of My Success.
