We've often reported on news outlets and institutions posting images of supposed real life events, only for them to be revealed as screenshots from games, and here's one of the best so far.

The famous Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles recently updated their webpage, and under the location tab (since removed) a very well known vista showed up, a view of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V.

This was spotted by Reddit user doupler, who posted his findings on the GTAV Reddit thread.

The hotel is often adorned with video game art during E3, and this year it was CD Projekt Red's Gwent game which featured on the building. Earlier, ironically enough, the hotel has always had promotional art for Grand Theft Auto V.
