‘My family were murdered by the Nazis. I went to where it

You can expect just about everything from castles in Morocco to Paradise Island to the furthest reaches of the North Pole. You think you’re just seeing a façade of a hotel, but in some cases they’re like entire countries, in others they breathe life into local communities. These places aren’t just hotels. It’s what these places mean to their communities and for the guests that come that’s special. A hotel isn’t just a place people come to stay. It’s an entire universe of things, all of which we explore in Amazing Hotels.At the other end of the spectrum was my time spent at the concentration camp in Treblinka in Poland, where I filmed my documentary My Family, the Holocaust and Me, where I was able to stand, with my mother, on the very earth where the relatives of my grandfather — who survived the genocide — were murdered by the Nazis. It was incredibly traumatic, but was an important experience because it helped me to reframe my understanding of what my grandparents and parents went through and how it shaped them, and ultimately me too, as people. Nusfjord Arctic Resort is not a typical hotel- guests stay in renovated 200 year old cod fishing cabins for a taste of remote Norwegian fishing life, albeit with a touch of luxury! Rob and Monica experience first-hand how tough life was and aim for a glimpse of the elusive northern lights. The sunrises and sunsets in every single place. I met a person in every single hotel who gets you to think about the world in a new way and what more is there. I particularly loved Sri Lanka. I’ve been to some of these countries before but this time I have the gift of seeing communities who have been working alongside each other to help have a conversation about what their country and community can be, all around amazing service. I was truly moved.

I know for sure, and I never thought I would be this person and I know people out there who might roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders, I know there are big issues in the world, but to have had the gift of loyalty, of a loving dog and to have lost that dog or a pet is a challenging thing."I hope to return to St Petersburg once the conflict in Ukraine is over and it’s safe and open to visit again. When I do I’ll follow the rules I always set myself when I travel, and that’s to rid myself of any expectation I may have built up of a place — be it through film, TV or literature — and try to approach every individual with an open mind. And to remember that I’ve got two ears and one gob for a reason.

I would definitely assign Rob a job in my hotel reception. He would keep things rolling along nicely.

For me, first and foremost it’s the staff and the team behind it all. I think it's really important that they offer a warm and professional service. Second, I would say the amenities and what they have to offer is of a high standard. And of course, what’s on offer when it comes to the food is also incredibly important for me.Everybody should be able to understand the law, yet people make very basic mistakes, according to Judge Rinder. What surprised me is how talented, dedicated and invested the owners, employees and everyone we spoke to were. It was not just a hotel, but a community. Such as an Atoll that was destroyed by an El Nino, or speaking to a Berber community in part of the Atlas mountains who, before the hotel opened, were on the edge of economic catastrophe. Now, it’s an epicentre of community. What surprised me is how these hotels can forge part of a community and alter how not just a community runs, but who a person is. DI Grant Cliveden is the country’s most famous detective, “with the kind of good looks which, if not quite Hollywood level, were of soap heart-throb standard”. He’s been on Good Morning Britain, and has turned down Strictly “at least four times”. Being a “much-loved police officer”, we learn, “beats being a hedge-fund wanker”.

Robert Rinder Age I’m not really one for nightclubs, and if I do go to one I prefer the sort of place that closes at midnight, but I did have a ball in Ibiza when I got married in 2013, although I’ve actually been divorced longer than I was married now. My friend Benedict Cumberbatch took the service, and we stayed in this incredible hotel called Hacienda Na Xamena. The whole experience was incredibly joyful but there were certainly no foam parties at the end of the night.I’m from a working-class Jewish community, and my earliest holidays were spent in a kosher hotel in Bournemouth called the New Ambassador.
