You wouldn't believe how excited we were to receive a phone-call from a lovely lady with a very strong, very beautiful British accent, telling us all about how she loves our little hotel and wants to include it in a series by the name of Hotel Secrets. Here at the Maison de Ville we are very proud of our historical background in particular; any of you who have had the experience of talking to us for more than five minutes knows how we love to talk about all the fascinating things that our property is famous for. And they were just as excited!
Hotel Secrets follows renowned actor Richard E Grant (of such titles as Coppola's Dracula, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, and as both The Doctor himself and a villain in the long-running Doctor Who) around the world's most "eye-poppingly opulent" hotels in the world. And of course, they couldn't resist making a trip to New Orleans during their second series (who would?) and visiting us here, at the Hotel Maison de Ville, to film a short segment on our historic roots before the Great New Orleans Fires, our connection to Tennessee Williams, and even our shy hotel ghosts!
It was a blast! We don't know yet when the show will debut, but stay tuned - I, for one, can't wait to see our little hotel on TV!
