Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby is a British BBC documentary television series, presented by the journalist Giles Coren and the chef Monica Galetti, and started in 2017.
Each programme in the series is based on a luxury hotel. The presenters take a hands-on approach, investigating the running of the hotel, hence the subtitle of the series. The programmes are shown on BBC Two.
The fourth series ran in 2021.
On 31 October 2022, the BBC announced that Rob Rinder will be the series' new co-presenter replacing Giles Coren who left after series four.
