A new ITV game show that sees 10 couples compete to win a life-changing £250,000 is set to hit screens tonight.
Hosted by Stephen Mangan, The Fortune Hotel is set at a luxury hotel in the Caribbean, and starts with the couples all being given a briefcase.
Eight cases are empty, one contains an early check-out card and one contains a jackpot cash prize of £250,000.
During the series they can bid and deal among each other to swap cases after undertaking various challenges.
Although only one pair will walk away with the prize, throughout their time on the show everyone will be living in luxury at the Silversands resort in Grenada.
Here’s everything we know about the lavish accommodation before watching the teams battle it out with the stunning hotel as the backdrop.
Where is ITV’s The Fortune Hotel filmed?
The game show has already drawn comparisons to the hugely popular BBC series The Traitors, which is filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
When it came to picking a location for their own show, ITV didn’t spare any expense and put their contestants up in a five-star luxury resort.
Found at the southern end of the Caribbean, just 100 miles from Venezuela, the island county consists of the island of Grenada itself, two smaller islands, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and several small islands which lie to the north of the main island.
Its total size is 134.6 square miles, with an estimated population of 124,523.
Set on the golden sands of Grand Anse Beach, Silversands opened to the public in February this year.
How much does it cost to stay at Silversands?
As Grenada’s first contemporary-styled luxury hotel it cost £98 million to build, with the investment coming from Egyptian billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris.
It offers 43 suites and penthouses, including 4-bedroom private villas, which can cost £4,400 a night.
The most affordable offering is the garden view king room, which costs £500 a night.
What are the features of the Silversands hotel?
Guests staying at the hotel not only have the choice of four restaurants and a spa but can also undertake various activities during their stay.
From dune buggy, ATV and Jeep tours around the island to tubing and rafting, snorkelling and diving and sunset sailing cruises, there are plenty of things to keep guests occupied.
It also features one of the longest pools (100m) in the Caribbean, as well as a gym, sauna, steam room, ice cave and ‘experience shower’.
A 700-metre walk along the beachfront is also the Grand Anse Craft and Spice Market.
Further afield is the picturesque Annandale Falls.

Previously speaking about the show to Metro.co.uk, Stephen explained why he thought it stood apart from The Traitors but could still prove just as popular.
‘First of all, we are in the sunny Caribbean. We’re not in a gloomy Scottish castle. That brings a whole different feeling to it. It just feels lighter and funnier. It’s a game of bluff, intrigue, forming alliances, all that good stuff, and it gets more and more gripping as the series goes on.
‘But what I love about this show is that it’s not just an hour of tension and drama. It’s funny and it’s fascinating how people behave. They ask each other blunt questions. Some people can’t lie and some are scarily good at it.’
