Hotel Babylon from BBC America

Tamzin Outhwaite (Red Cap) and Max Beesley (Bodies) star in Hotel Babylon, a glossy, seductive drama set in a decadent five-star hotel. Inspired by Imogen Edwards-Jones' expose, Hotel Babylon takes viewers to a world where money not only talks, but can buy customers just about anything they desire. The narrator, Deputy Manager Charlie (Beesley), serves as guide to the frenetic, non-stop world of the staff, as he tries his best to please the hotel's driven and ambitious General Manager, Rebecca (Outhwaite).

Hotel Babylon premieres Wednesday, August 8, 9:00 p.m. ET/PT.
