Anyone else want to go to Grenada? If you’re feeling the Traitors-shaped hole in your life right now (aren’t we all!?), ITV’s The Fortune Hotel might just fill the void – it also has a pretty spectacular backdrop.
Presented by Stephen Mangan, the all-new game show sees ten pairs of contestants battle it out to win an impressive jackpot of £250,000. But, as ever, it isn’t straightforward.
In order to get their hands on the cash prize, contestants must lie, cheat and bluff their way into getting rid of a suitcase containing an early check-out card (which, you guessed it, boots them off), and try and get their hands on the suitcase with the money.
And while the show itself has already delivered drama and deceit aplenty, the gorgeous location is also captivating viewers in equal measure.
Here’s everything you need to know about The Fortune Hotel’s filming locations…
Where is The Fortune Hotel filmed?
The Fortune Hotel is shot in the idyllic Caribbean island of Grenada, in the luxury Silversands Grenada resort.
As you might expect, it’s one of the fanciest hotels in the country, boasting the longest swimming pool in the Caribbean.
But us mere mortals might not be able to fork out for the £600-a-night stay. That doesn’t mean Grenada is no longer a holiday option for us, of course.
There are plenty of other more affordable hotels and amenities one can enjoy in the Caribbean hotspot.
