Flashy and Trashy: Hotel Babylon

Tamzin Outhwaite and Max Beesley star in this tantalizing and seductive insight into the sexy world of the luxury five-star hotel industry, revealing life beyond the glamour and façade of the smiling faces and glittering chandeliers.
Based on Imogen Edwards-Jones and Anonymous’ searing exposé of life behind the scenes of the luxury hotel industry in London, Hotel Babylon delves deep into the frenetic, non-stop hidden culture of the hotel staff, from the discreet concierge to the flamboyant bar managers – everyone has a story.
Rebecca Mitchell is the hotel’s driven and ambitious General Manager who is determined to keep the profit margins more than above average. Running a tight ship ensures that guests and staff are rewarded but is work taking its toll on her private life?
Deputy Manager Charlie introduces us to a world of fantasy and indulgence and a world where you can be who you want to be as long as you have the money to pay for it … and know who to ask!
With a glittering array of guest stars including Joan Collins, Steven Berkoff, Keith Allen, Les Dennis and Susie Amy to name but a few, Hotel Babylon is a fantastic expose of a world of hedonism and excess.
Check-in and enjoy all 8 fabulous episodes of Series 1 on this 3-disc DVD and extra features include a commentary with the director and producer and a ‘making of’ feature.
