Every episode of Elsewhere features one historic hotel. Not as a backdrop. Not as a sponsor. As a character — with its own story, its own memory, its own claim on the history of the city it inhabits.
The great hotels of the world are repositories of human experience. Leaders made decisions in their rooms. Artists found their work in their light. Lovers met in their lobbies. History moved through their corridors.
Most hotels know this about themselves. Almost none have ever had someone tell that story properly.
The selection process is simple: we invite historic hotels in each city to share their story. What happened here. Who came. What changed. We read everything. We choose the property whose history is most alive — most capable of becoming part of an episode that will be watched by tens of thousands of people who care deeply about exactly this kind of thing.
In exchange: we stay. We film. We dedicate a segment of the episode to the hotel's story, produced with the same care and craft as every other element of Elsewhere.
This is not advertising. It is something more durable — the kind of storytelling people remember and share and return to.
We are currently selecting properties for our first season, beginning March 2026 in Valencia, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Seville. If your hotel has history worth telling, we want to hear it.
