Alex Polizzi tackles Bath-based boutique hotel in The Hotel Inspector

One to Watch: The Hotel Inspector, Channel 5.

Tonight on Channel 5 Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi is back on the box as she once more sets out on a mission to transform the fortunes of hotels and guest houses, helping out fledgling and floundering hoteliers who need some advice to get their businesses on the right track.

In this week’s episode, Alex faces a tough challenge near to the historic city of Bath, where business partners Rowena and Mike are running a boutique hotel that is on the brink of going under the water. The House Near Bath, run by former Hong Kong high-society party planner Rowena, wants to give its guests a taste of the high life.

But creating its sumptuous atmosphere comes at a huge cost to the owners who are averse to passing on the real cost of luxury to the guests. Running it more like a home than a hotel, Rowena’s hospitality means the business is running at a colossal loss. Alex tries to teach these hoteliers how to turn a profit from their punters, but can she prove this place can make money and get the owners to turn over a new leaf?
