BBC showcases two IHG properties in new series

IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce the feature of two luxury flagships in the forthcoming series of BBC Studios Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby. Airing on BBC2 and BBC iPlayer from 12 September, the beloved BBC series will capture an unprecedented perspective of InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland and Six Senses Ibiza with each property starring in its own hour-long feature episode. Both properties are part of IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio – one of the world’s largest. 

Each episode gives audiences an unparalleled view of the hotels’ distinct take on luxury hospitality as presenters Chef Monica Galetti and Television Lawyer Rob Rinder shadow hotel teams across all areas of the guest experience. The pair are put to work behind the scenes venturing into places and spaces unseen by the public eye to uncover the meticulous level of focus required to deliver impeccable service. As each episode documents, Rob and Monica become part of the expert hotel teams to shed light on the heart-warming stories of the communities within each hotel’s storied walls. 

Jane Mackie, Senior Vice President of Global Luxury, Lifestyle, and Premium Brands at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: "We are thrilled to bring BBC viewers on a virtual journey of InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland and Six Senses Ibiza in the next series of Amazing Hotels.  These  two dramatic properties each have their own unique story to tell and incredible colleagues who bring it all to life. The architectural feat embodied within InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland is something to behold, while Six Senses Ibiza challenges the perception of what Ibiza as a destination has to offer.”  

The next series of BBC Studios Amazing Hotels: Life Behind the Lobby will be available to stream on demand on BBC iPlayer from 12 September. Episodes will air on BBC2 at 8pm BST, with InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland kicking off the series on Thursday 12 September, followed by Six Senses Ibiza on Thursday 26 September.
