HOTEL BABYLON

Celebrity guest stars appear in entertaining glimpse of what happens behind the scenes in hotels.

The doors to the slick and seductive Hotel Babylon are open once again, and some new faces are set to stir things up. The series offers an amusing glimpse as to what happens behind the scenes in hotels and, as always, this series of Hotel Babylon features a number of celebrity guest stars in cameo roles, including film director Michael Winner, Bond girl Honor Blackman, and wild child Kelly Osbourne.

Charismatic businessman Sam Franklin sets pulses racing when he arrives as a guest, little knowing that his ex-wife Juliet has been appointed as Babylon’s bailiff, under covert instruction to prepare the floundering hotel for sale. But Juliet’s ex-husband has a secret. He’s no longer the penniless failure she was once married to and it only takes a few phone calls and Hotel Babylon has itself a new owner. And with it, a proposal to Juliet to give up her bailiff career and become the new manager of the hotel. Can she and Sam put their failed marriage behind them and work together for the good of the business? Together they and the rest of the Babylon team – led by concierge Tony – face many challenges including a security threat that grips London, the potential mess of having two arch-rival boxers booked into its suites, and a fabulous Bollywood style wedding.

Hotel Babylon is screened on Tuesdays at 20h30 on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv).
