 The hotel with no reservations.Actually it's got plenty—you aren't going to see nipples, that's for sure.Inspired by an expose of the hotel industry of the same title, Hotel Babylon is about the staff of a five-star hotel in London's West End. It ran for four series before getting cancelled due to low ratings.The show was largely told from the perspective of Charlie (Max Beesley), a former receptionist who was promoted to deputy manager in the first episode by the hotel's general manager, Rebecca (Tamzin Outhwaite). The other hotel staff included head concierge Tony (Dexter Fletcher), head barman Gino (Martin Marquez), food and beverage manager James (Raymond Coulthard), head of housekeeping Jackie (Natalie Mendoza), head receptionist Anna (Emma Pierson), and receptionist Ben (Michael Obiora). In series three, they were joined by Emily (Alexandra Moen), the head of PR and Jack (Lee Williams), the new deputy manager.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The first series largely revolved around Charlie settling into his new role, as well as his growing relationship with Jackie and his promotion coinciding with the hiring of former flame Anna as the new head receptionist. He also had to deal with Rebecca, who was separated from her husband and living in the hotel; and his past as a convicted criminal coming back to haunt him.In series two, Rebecca divorces her husband and she and Charlie (who broke up with Jackie between series) entertain the possibility of a relationship, but aren't able to make it work. When Rebecca leaves at the end of the series following a foiled takeover attempt from a rival hotel chain, she recommends Charlie be promoted to general manager.Series three saw Charlie dealing (badly) with the new responsibilities of being general manager, attempting a relationship with Anna (and failing) and finally leaving toward the end of the season for new career opportunities in New York. His replacement was Jack, who was dogged by disasters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })By the time series four rolls around, Jack has been fired and his replacement Juliet is trying to save the hotel from financial ruin. Her wealthy ex-husband Sam decides to buy the hotel and the series follows their fraught working relationship. The series ended on a Cliffhanger, with Sam considering whether to rekindle his relationship with Juliet or begin a new one with Emily.

 Air-Vent Passageway: Used for an air vent rescue—Anna is chosen to crawl through the hotel's air vents when Jack and Emily are put in a Hostage Situation and they need a way of looking into the room without alerting the hostage taker.
