What happens on First Dates Hotel?
First Dates Hotel works on a similar basis to First Dates.
‘Scientists’ pair up those looking for love using their mutual interests and personalities.
The potential lovebirds have dinner at the hotel – if they want to continue seeing each other, they can stay at the hotel another night and are sent off on a romantic date the next day.
If they don’t want to continue seeing each other, they are sent packing and return to the UK.
