Plot Synopsis

HOTEL IMPOSSIBLE's Anthony Melchiorri checks into five-star hotels, taking advantage of the property's amenities like any other paying guest. At the end of his stay, he gives a significant bonus tip to one employee who went above and beyond expectations to provide him -- and others -- excellent customer service. In each 30-minute episode of 5-STAR SECRETS, Anthony tours a different hotel. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, Travel Channel premiered back-to-back episodes of HOTEL IMPOSSIBLE: 5-STAR SECRETS, but the cable channel had no other episodes on its schedule at that time. In this sneak-peek episodes, Anthony visited: , including: Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel, where he stays in a two-story suite with a personal pool, hot tub and elevator; and Chicago's Langham Hotel, where he's blown away with a $6,000-a-night suite, a decadent spread and an unprecedented feat of customer service. Twenty months later the 5-STAR SECRETS had its official series premiere on Monday, October 24, 2016 from 11pm-Midnight on Travel Channel, as Anthony visited the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas (11pm) and the One&Only Palmilla Resort in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico (11:30pm). Later in the season, Anthony stayed at these high-end hotels: Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas; The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia; Four Seasons Resort Maui in Wailea, Hawaii; Winvian Farm in Morris, Connecticut; The Lotte New York Palace Hotel in New York City; and Hotel del Coronado in Southern California.
