In the show, the presenters take a hands-on approach at each of the gorgeous locations, working side by side with the hotel staff to explore the day-to-day operations of the hotel behind the scenes.
In previous series, the hosts have visited luxury hotspots around the world, from Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort in Abu Dhabi to The Lanesborough in London to The Brand on the island of French Polynesia.
Rinder rose to fame as the formidable Rinder Judge on his eponymous ITV reality courtroom show and later hosted the Channel 4 series The Rob Rinder Verdict.
In 2016, Rinder competed in the 14th series of Strictly Come Dancing with Ukrainian professional dancer Oksana Platero, placing fifth.
Rinder has also presented Good Morning Britain multiple times and appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox with regular GMB presenter Susannah Reed.
