Hotel Babylon
Programme Synopsis
The doors to the slick and seductive Hotel Babylon are open once again, and some new faces are set to stir things up...
Charismatic businessman Sam Franklin (Nigel Harman), 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; 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. But can she and Sam put their divorce behind them and work together for the good of the business?
