How does The Fortune Hotel work?

10 pairs of contestants will arrive at the hotel, where they will be given an all-important briefcase. Inside one case is the ultimate jackpot of £250,000 in cash, eight are empty, and one contains the dreaded early checkout card – whichever pair is left holding that case at the end of each show will see their stay brought to a dramatic, premature end.

Every day the contestants have the chance to try to uncover who has which case through playing compelling challenges, and as the ‘who got it’ mystery ramps up for the hotel guests, viewers at home will remain in-the-know throughout, witness to all of their plans and strategies playing out.

The climax of each episode is the nerve-shredding case swap in the seductive Lady Luck Bar where each pair must decide whether to keep or swap their case. Have the couple with the life-changing sum of cash managed to bluff and blag their way free of suspicion? Or will their case be ruthlessly taken off them? And who will be left holding the case containing the early checkout card?

Who are The Fortune Hotel guests?

The 10 couples appearing on The Fortune Hotel are:

Where is The Fortune Hotel filmed?

Contestants are housed at the luxurious Silversands hotel in Grenada, one of the southernmost islands in the Caribbean. Located just 100 miles north-east of Venezuela, the journey to the nearest airport - Maurice Bishop International Airport - is a little under 11 hours from London and slightly over 14 hours from Manchester, including stopovers. Silversands first welcomed guests in December 2018.

The hotel, with prices starting from approximately £720 per night, is situated on Grenada's renowned Grand Anse Beach. It features 43 suites and nine villas, each with their own private pools, offering an intimate and relaxed retreat. The hotel's standout feature is its enormous, highly Instagrammable 100m-long infinity swimming pool - the largest in the Caribbean - which extends from the reception area to the beachfront and tranquil azure sea beyond.
