action
The fifth season takes place in 2015 in Los Angeles, California at the fictional Hotel Cortez . The construction of the hotel was partly inspired by the Winchester House and partly modeled on the horror house of HH Holmes . In the course of the plot there are several retrospectives on American epochs of the 20th century (e.g. 20s , 70s, etc.). Detective John Lowe ( Wes Bentley ) tries to track down a serial killer who is inspired by the 10 commandments in the cursed hotel . He falls into the clutches of the Countess ( Lady Gaga ), who, together with her lover Donovan, holds a bloody secret. The hotel's employees include Donovan's mother Iris ( Kathy Bates ) and bartender "Liz Taylor" ( Denis O'Hare ), and there are several regulars such as the drug dealer Sally ( Sarah Paulson ). Together they try to save the Cortez from investor Will Drake ( Cheyenne Jackson ). Will Drake brings top-class guests to the hotel at a fashion show, including model Tristan Duffy ( Finn Wittrock ) and Vogue editor Claudia Bankson ( Naomi Campbell ). In his research, John finds out that the hotel was built by James Patrick March ( Evan Peters ) in 1926 to torture and kill guests in cold blood. He also finds indications that his son Holden ( Lennon Henry ) , who has been missing for 5 years, may still be alive. His wife, Alex ( Chloë Sevigny ), a pediatrician, has been plagued by depression since their son's disappearance. In the course of the season she also finds her way to the strange hotel and finds her son again. Slowly she becomes aware of Holden's strange behavior and finally discovers the dark secret of the Countess. Iris, the receptionist, is also not as harmless as one initially suspects. Together with the transsexual Liz Taylor, she murders a couple with annoying extra wishes who have checked into the hotel. Meanwhile, John finds himself at the so-called Devil's Night (the night before Halloween ) at a table with the serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer , John Wayne Gacy , Richard Ramírez , Aileen Wuornos and the never caught Zodiac killer . Because he spends more and more time in the hotel, neglecting his work and his state of mind deteriorating, he is finally suspended. Frustrated by the situation, he ends up in bed with Sally. Alex, on the other hand, uses a rather unusual method in her job to save a patient's life.
Old secrets come to light during the hotel's renovation work. In a flashback to 1925, the viewer learns a lot about the Countess' past with the couple Rudolph (also Finn Wittrock ) and Natacha ( Alexandra Daddario ).
It later turns out that John Lowe himself is the 10 Commandments killer and acted on behalf of James March, who wants to make him his successor. Sally always supported him. However, this now deviates from the plan. Countess Elizabeth and her great love Valentino are reunited. Meanwhile, Alex becomes aware of the extent of her action as a horde of vampire children ravages the streets of Los Angeles because of her. However, together with her husband, she can stop the plague. They find each other again, but the jump into their normal life is difficult. Meanwhile, Iris, Liz and the other staff plan to stand up against the Countess. They succeed in the plan and they eventually become the managers of the hotel.
