The show "Fortune Hotel" is a Swedish entertainment reality series that premiered on TV4 and TV4 Play on August 22, 2025. It is filmed at a luxury hotel in Greece. The program is a strategic game show where participant pairs compete to keep a suitcase containing a large sum of money—one million Swedish kronor. The pairs know each other and must use strategy, social tactics, and alliances to avoid elimination and win the prize. The show is hosted by Renée Nyberg and David Hellenius. Filming takes place on location in a design hotel in Greece, a popular destination due to its stable climate and high international hotel standards. The format is based on a British original and combines elements of reality, social games, and psychological strategy, reminiscent of series like "The White Lotus" and "Förrädarna" (The Traitors).
"Fortune Hotel" is described as a mix of reality competition and social strategy within an upscale hotel setting, and it involves participants competing in pairs who are friends, family, or partners, all vying to end up with the money-filled suitcase. The competition involves alliances, social play, and challenges that affect the ownership of the suitcases, with a "checkout card" mechanic marking which pairs must leave.
In summary, "Fortune Hotel" is filmed in Greece at a luxury hotel, featuring a strategic reality competition with a prize of one million kronor, hosted by Renée Nyberg and David Hellenius, and it premiered in late summer 2025 on Swedish TV4 network.
