If you're looking to fill The Traitors shaped hole in your life with a TheWhite Lotus twist, look no further than ITV's new reality TV game show: The Fortune Hotel. But where exactly is the new show filmed, and how much would it cost us to move in?
Since the first episode dropped on Monday [13th May], all the internet is talking about is The Fortune Hotel. The show, hosted by Stephen Mangan, takes place in a luxury resort, and follows 10 pairs of contestants who are competing to win £250k.
The game essentially involves the contestants searching for one briefcase full of cash, among a number of empty briefcases, and then trying to hold onto it. With regular case-swapping sessions, they must lie, deceive and distract if they're in possession of the money, or interrogate and perceive if they're searching for it, all the while trying to switch their cases without other people knowing.
While we're already clued up on the episode release schedule, we know what to know the location where The Fortune Hotel was filmed.
Where is The Fortune Hotel set?
Say goodbye to the Scottish Highlands and your welly boots, because The Fortune Hotel is all about the glitz and glamour of the Caribbean. The show is filmed at the Silversands Hotel in Grenada, which is described as "an intimate, luxury resort which is set on the golden sands of Grand Anse Beach."
Idyllic. It looks like a room at the hotel will set you back at least £450 a night, with the resort offering everything from private beachfront villas to ocean view king rooms. As the description reads, "From the moment you step foot into Silversands, the untamed allure of Grand Anse Beach invites you to a realm of unparalleled relaxation.
"Experience time coming to a standstill as moments elongate, allowing you to fully appreciate each one. Luxuriate in the well-appointed guest rooms and private villas, reveling in delectable meals crafted by culinary maestros, all while immersing yourself in the extraordinary ambiance of this Caribbean resort."
The beach is two miles long, with twinkly turquoise sea.
