The Hotel Nantucket
Lizbet Keaton, a Nantucket darling, is desperate for a second act after a painful breakup with a longstanding boyfriend. When she is named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once-gilded-age jewel that has become an abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic staff will win the favour of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier Darling, as well as Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And, while the Hotel Nantucket looks to be a tranquil haven, complete with a famous chef-run restaurant and a serene wellness centre, there's a lot going on behind closed doors. The hotel's staff (and guests) have complex pasts, and the property can't seem to shake its terrible image from 1922, when a devastating fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley. With Grace happily haunting the hallways, staff riddled with secrets, and Lizbet's own love uncertainties, is the Hotel Nantucket doomed?
