Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby 2024 sees hosts Rob Rinder and Monica Galetti touring some of the most incredible places to stay across the world.
Barrister and ex-Strictly star Rob and chef Monica are going behind the scenes to areas of the hotels the public doesn't normally see as they visit locations including Rome and the rainforests of Malaysia.
Asked about his standout moments of the sixth season, Rob says: "There are too many to mention. From tours of 15th Century Chapels only available to guests of the hotel, to snowshoeing through the Arctic Tundra, to joining in a corporate group dance in Shanghai. The buffet of strange, unusual and fascinating experiences are limitless."
Monica says: "Visiting Turkey for me has been on my list for a while so to do this and end up in an air balloon was magical."
Talking about making his own second series, Rob adds: "It was amazing — it's a limitless gift to see what makes amazing hotels worthy of that title. This series, I built on all of the insight and experience from the first series, and I have taken it beyond the lobby for the second series which has been fascinating."
