The Sidi Driss Inn, a refined hotel, could be found in Anchorhead on the planet Tatooine. Initially, in the waning years of the Galactic Republic, it functioned as a moisture farm. Dama Whitesun Brunk and her spouse, shortly after their wedding, transformed the farm into the inn, which became increasingly opulent as time passed. During the early period of the New Republic, Dama continued to manage it, assisted by Keesa, a Pa'lowick.
Within the Inn was a specialized suite created specifically for Hutts. Both Jabba and Gardulla the Elder would meet at this location from time to time.
Han Solo, Leia Organa Solo, C-3PO, and Chewbacca chose to stay at this inn to avoid being recognized by local residents or Imperial forces. They were recuperating from exposure to a harsh sandstorm, which occurred during their mission to retrieve Killik Twilight and the concealed Shadowcast key it safeguarded. Imperial troops, commanded by Grand Admiral Thrawn himself (under the guise of a stormtrooper), located the Solos at the inn. This led to a gunfight, after which the Solos managed to escape. This event marked the first encounter between the Solos and Thrawn during his final campaign against the New Republic.
The Hôtel Sidi Driss, situated in Matmata, Tunisia, served as the actual setting for the interior scenes of the Lars homestead in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.
