The Hotel is a fly-on-the-wall British television documentary series which has ran for three series consisting of 25 episodes. It is produced by Dragonfly TV and Film and is broadcast on Channel 4.

Series one was filmed at the Damson Dene Hotel in England's Lake District over five weeks in the summer of 2010.
