Season 1 Review: Hotel Babylon supplies an attractive cast, a cheeky attitude and just enough depth to keep you coming back for more. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Season 1 Review: Hotel Babylon is willfully bright and sexy--like the Parker's décor, it updates a '70s sensibility--but also has a nice eye for detail, good minor characters and well-flowing dialogue. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Season 1 Review: A high-gloss series with production values just as significant as what we see on American TV, it's worth checking into Hotel Babylon if you're seeking a respite from reality--TV shows or otherwise. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Season 1 Review: At blending comedy and drama and presenting freshly drawn characters, though, Hotel Babylon has a lot to learn from the likes of "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy." As a hotel, and as a TV series, put it at less than three stars. Read full review
