I believe there is a thread or two on this, but nonetheless: There really is no real-life setting for the city. The series takes place in its own district, but it's never really referred to as anything but "the city." It's all connected; that is to say, 667 Dark Avenue is in the same region as the Hotel Denouement, and the Baudelaire mansion (and Briny Beach) is close by. Other than that, though, there's not much to say.

Sherry Ann has it quite right. The city isn't a real place, doesn't have a name, and doesn't exist in a real location.

Just to add to the confusion, it's not even clear which coast it's on. The map in TUA suggests the west coast (which would fit San Francisco, where Handler comes from), but the directions in TGG suggest the east coast (which would fit New York, or Boston, where the movie is set). So it's a mystery.

Very likely to be a fictional one, although per Sherry's post it could be a cross between California and New York or Boston.

I agree, blakegriplingh.
Hotel Dénouement seems like it could be in San Francisco, but 667 Dark Avenue sounds like it could be in New York. The real thing is, the city is never named and there's not much to say about it like Sherry Ann said.

Though oddly enough, the Hotel Denouement is based on a real hotel which is in New York.

Really? Which hotel? Not the Plaza? Maybe, but the whole series could've taken place in a single fictional city, much like Liberty City in the GTA series.
