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.”

From cacao ceremonies, silent hikes and biohacking practices to cyclical fashion, recording studios and farm to table cooking, Monica and Rob take viewers behind-the-scenes to explore the on-property experiences which celebrate and reflect Ibiza’s deeper roots through pioneering wellness, music, art, fashion, culinary exploration, and culture.
