Enough people like checking in with Gordon Ramsay’s Hotel Hell series that the folks at FOX have ordered a second season. This marks the fourth TV series on the network that features the no-nonsense chef.
The four episodes of Hotel Hell that have aired thus far have averaged a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.32 million total viewers.
Compared to the rest of FOX’s summer series, Hotel Hell receives a “C+” grade. There are two episodes left in this season and they’re both slated to air tonight in a special two-hour finale.
Here’s the network’s press release regarding the second season renewal:
FOX MAKES RESERVATION FOR SECOND SEASON OF “HOTEL HELL”
Gordon Ramsay to Fix More Struggling Establishments in Trouble
FOX has ordered a second season of HOTEL HELL, the hit Gordon Ramsay series in which the award-winning chef and hospitality expert travels the country to fix horrid hotels, awful inns and just plain bad bed and breakfasts.
“The response to HOTEL HELL has been truly extraordinary, and we’re really excited to have the opportunity to turn around many more hotels in dire need of intervention,” said Gordon Ramsay.
“With HOTEL HELL, Gordon has proved once again that he’s one of the most successful and appealing personalities on television,” said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “He delivered an amazing new show for us this summer that fans immediately embraced, and I can’t wait for him to get started on an even more exciting Season Two.”
In HOTEL HELL, Ramsay endures hotels at their worst – from filthy bedrooms and mold-ridden bathrooms to dreadful room service and incompetent management – all so unsuspecting guests don’t have to. After he uncovers all the dirty secrets, Ramsay puts the hotel owners and employees to work as he attempts to turn around these failing establishments. With reputations on the line, one thing is certain: if they can’t meet and maintain Ramsay’s five-star standards, they will never check out of HOTEL HELL.
After posting the highest-rated series debut of the summer, HOTEL HELL has quickly become this summer’s No. 1 new series among Adults 18-49, Adults 18-34, Adults 25-54, Women 18-49, Women 25-54 and all key men demos. In addition, HOTEL HELL ranks as one of the Top 10 shows overall this summer among Adults 18-49.
Tune in to the two-hour season finale airing Monday, Sept. 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX, when Ramsay checks into two inns struggling to stay afloat. Established in the 1880s, the River Rock Inn in Milford, PA is falling apart. It’s in desperate need of a cleaning, there are dead bugs everywhere and Ramsay discovers a disgusting galaxy of stains on one particular bedspread that sends him through the roof. Then, Ramsay checks into the Roosevelt Inn, a converted 16-bedroom schoolhouse in Coeur D’Alene, ID, where the owner is more interested in dressing up like Sherlock Holmes for murder mystery nights than he is in updating the hotel’s musty décor. Find out if Ramsay’s efforts are enough to save these inns, in the special two-hour “River Rock Inn/Roosevelt Inn” season finale episode of HOTEL HELL.

Bb before I check in.
Thank you Gordon for all
Of your shows love them All
I love the all the series with Gordon Ramsey!! However with Hotel Hell there is one problem: the audio. The music is too loud. And at times you can hardley hear the voices of Gordon and the other people. Otherwise the show is great. Can’t wait for season 2. So to the producers of the show & Gordon: FIX THE SOUND!!!
this show is good but i think it goes to slow almost like they could do one hotell for 3 hours they need to compress it more
I love this show. I love all of Gordon Ramsay’s shows. I have one suggestion for this show. Landscaping. First impressions are always outside. I would drive by some of these places and never go in to see what Gordon has done. Just a suggestion for the show.
WTFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
