Hotel Impossible is a reality television program from Travel Channel in which struggling hotels receive an extensive makeover by veteran hotel operator Anthony Melchiorri and his team. The show premiered on April 9, 2012.

Premise

Each episode features a hotel having problems or not living up to its potential. Veteran hotelier Anthony Melchiorri secretly scouts each property and identifies its biggest problems. He then meets with the staff, from front desk clerks to housekeeping to the owners themselves, to determine the key operation issues. Some owners risk losing their hotels if Melchiorri's renovations do not work. After devising a plan for physical, cosmetic, and procedural changes with his designer (usually Casey Noble or former Design Star contestant Blanche Garcia), Melchiorri works with the staff and revamps the hotel.[1][2]

Hotel Impossible was renewed for a second season by the Travel Channel in September 2012.[3] A special titled After Anthony aired on February 4, 2013, featuring a look back at the hotels visited in the first season.[4][5] The third season debuted on August 12, 2013.[6]
