The UK's favourite Hotel TV Shows

The world of hospitality is dramatised on the small screen by many programmes, with both celebrities and ordinary business owners providing an insight onto the day-to-day realities that running a hospitality business entails. The hospitality market has gone from strength to strength, and big hotel businesses, as well as smaller independent bed and breakfasts, are all facing challenges when it comes to luring new customers in.  

With the help of The Stirling Highland hotel, we have compiled a selection of some of the best hotel TV shows for an insight into the reality and glamourous extremes of the industry. 

Gordon Ramsay’s Hotel Hell  

With more than a decade of experience in running some of the world’s top-rated restaurants and hotels, Gordon Ramsay took to the small screen with a selection of hospitality programmes aired in the UK and the US. With a similar concept to his other phenomena ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ and ‘Hell’s Kitchen’, the ‘Hotel Hell’ edition is similarly ruthless when it comes to criticising a range of hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts. Ramsay visits an establishment which has run into financial difficulties or become the subject of a string of bad reviews and reverses the ill-fated ventures, by loudly enforcing his own extremely high standards.  

Ramsay makes his presence well-known to the owners, with a combination of constant expletives… and an element of business coaching. He leaves no source of incompetence unchallenged, but Ramsay also shares a lot of invaluable industry advice with the owners. In every episode, he has a genuine enthusiasm for rescuing the establishments from closure, even if it does require some cut-throat tactics.  

The Hotel Inspector  

Award winning hotelier and businesswoman Alex Polizzi turns floundering establishments into successful money spinners, as she applies her own vast industry knowledge to the pitfalls of each venue she visits. As the title suggests, Alex is the hotel inspector who aims to transform venues from drab to fab, often with the help of gifted décor from well-known brands to help revitalise the space that she is working with.  Alex tackles issues that go beyond the low-quality furnishings though, as she will often look at management infrastructures to salvage dwindling profits.  

In each episode of this classic hotel show, the challenges presented are unique and Alex tailors a solution for the owners. Her no-nonsense approach can often mean executing a full brand revamp or revising the target market of the hotel and adjusting to suit a new audience. The most anticipated part of the program is when&nb
