Instant Hotel is an Australian reality television series which began airing on the Seven Network on 7 November 2017.[1] The series follows homeowners who have transformed their homes into hotels and are individually judged by each other to receive the highest scores with the winner to win an ultimate prize.

The series is produced by the creators of Seven reality shows My Kitchen Rules and House Rules and the first season was hosted by Luke Jacobz.[2]

In November 2017, the series was renewed for a second season which aired in 2019.[3][4] In December 2018, Seven announced Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen would replace Luke Jacobz as host in 2019.[5] The second season aired on 11 February 2019.[6]

Format Changes[]

The first season contained two groups of five with the highest from each group going head to head in the grand final. The second season contained only four pairs of contestants with the highest two teams going head to head in the grand final.

The prize for the first season was an all-expense-paid stay at a Californian Instant Hotel. The prize for the second season was $100,000.
