Here is our spoiler-free guide to (almost) all the filming locations of Dexter Resurrection, listed in the order of their first appearance.
The Dexter Hotel
Usually, the name of a location where a crime is depicted in fiction is changed to an invented name.
However, in this case, the owners of The Empire Hotel must have agreed to use the real name of their historic boutique hotel, located across the street from Lincoln Center in Manhattan.

First opened in 1923, the Empire Hotel still retains its iconic red neon rooftop sign and Art Deco–inspired façade.
The interiors, including the striking lobby and the bar, which blends a 1960s retro Manhattan lounge vibe with bold geometric patterns—are also featured in Dexter: Resurrection.
If you'd like to stay in one of the immaculate rooms, rates start at around $115–$132 per night.

In the fourth episode, "Call Me Red", Dexter meets Leon Prater (played by Peter Dinklage), an affluent investor who runs a secret society of serial killers.
Prater's mansion was filmed at the Village Club of Sands Point located on the historic Guggenheim estate in Sands Point.
