What happened after Hotel Impossible?
Hotel Impossible (Travel Channel) featured the Capital Plaza Hotel in Frankfort, Kentucky, in the episode 'Waterpan-Gate,' which aired 2015-10-27 (S6E9). The Travel Channel series, hosted by Anthony Melchiorri, works with independent hotels on operational and guest-experience problems, and the Frankfort property, located at 405 Wilkinson Boulevard near the Kentucky State Capitol, was one of the hotels the show worked with. The hotel has continued operating under the same name and address since the episode aired. A site check of capitalplazaky.com on 2026-09-09 found a live page carrying a 2026 copyright date, posted breakfast hours for Friday through Sunday, and a banner describing the property as 'Frankfort's favorite Hotel' for 2025, alongside sections for accommodations, meeting space, bachelor and bachelorette packages, bourbon tours, and weddings.
The same site lists a current phone number and an account-login feature for guests. No dated source reviewed across the show reports a closure, sale, or rebrand of the Capital Plaza Hotel since 2015. The site's own current content is the only source checked for this record; no independent second dated source, such as a recent third-party review or news article, was reviewed to corroborate ongoing operation.
