What to Know

Critics Consensus

Spreading its ensemble thin across tawdry subplots, Hotel is a disappointing destination despite its surefire pedigree.

Eric Mink St. Louis Post-Dispatch 08/26/2021
With some honest, clever writing and imaginative, offbeat casting, this show might actually offer entertainment value approaching the high ratings it's sure to get coming after Dynasty. Go to Full Review Michael Shmith The Age (Australia) 07/16/2021
The [premiere] is styled rather along the lines of an old Doris Day movie, with a soupy score, Victorian decor and an inherent stuffiness. Yet existing alongside are various flip conventions of the 1980s that do not blend in well. Go to Full Review Lindsay Simpson Sydney Morning Herald 07/16/2021
Henry Mancini's music is ladled out in heavy doses, deafening in its blandness. Perhaps that was what the producers asked for, because it is certainly not Mancini at his best. Switch your brain off before tuning in. Go to Full Review Karl Vick Tampa Bay Times 08/26/2021
Hotel is ABC in an aerosol can. Ingredients: host famous from previous series; assorted guest stars from other series; plush, high-turnover setting; tripe. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mike P @RT09890132 Apr 6 Bland but harmless 80s Aaron Spelling Nighttime Soap Opera... Set at a glitzy Francisco luxury resort for the stars...And this is a glossy-glam soap; big in that era; riding on the coattails of Dynasty; with that same glossy; rich, extravagant veneer and flavor. Also starred James Brolin and Anne Baxter. Loosely based on the old "Grand Hotel" movie; largely forgotten now; but it was popular in it's era. See more Read all reviews
