If there’s one thing I know about the actor Richard E. Grant, it is that he absolutely loves hotels. Not just staying in them, but the legendary stories about celebrity and society that come from them. In this new podcast, he’s joined by the luxury travel consultant Jules Perowne, and they dig into the history and the magic of some well known hotels.

They’re not just talking about these hotels. As part of the series, Grant is visiting the hotels first-hand, starting with Claridge’s in London. Oh Richard, it’s a hard life! Not envious at all.

It’s an informative listen, highlighting that hotels are not just about extravaganza. “The future is also quietly being written in hotels,” says Grant. “Deals being sealed over cocktails, love stories beginning over candlelight in the dining room, and memories being stored forever as heads hit the pillow.”
