The show is a spin-off of the format Alessandro Borghese - 4 Ristoranti, where hotels, rather than restaurants, compete against each other. These hotels belong to the same commercial category and are located in the same geographical area. Each of the four hotel owners takes turns hosting the other three colleagues and Barbieri for a day and a night at their establishment. The hoteliers rate the location, services, rooms, prices, and, starting from the fourth season, the quality of the breakfast, giving scores from 0 to 10.
