What happened after The Hotel Inspector?
Rosehill House Hotel is a Grade II-listed hotel on Rosehill Avenue in Burnley, Lancashire. It featured in the first episode of Series 15 of The Hotel Inspector (Channel 5), which aired on 2019-06-06. According to TheTVDB's episode page, the 31-room hotel had been owned for 25 years by John and was run by his daughter Emma. The page says the place was cluttered, that the owners had lost sight of their customers, and that bookings had fallen sharply. A family member who had been central to the hotel had retired because of illness, which left Emma running it largely alone.
What has happened since: The Lancashire Evening Post reported on 2023-12-13 that the owners announced on Facebook the previous evening that the hotel was ending operations with immediate effect. The article quoted the owners as saying they were "no longer able to continue operating" and reported that guests with reservations would receive deposit refunds over the following weeks. The same article noted that Alex Polizzi had praised the hotel on the show. The Burnley Express reported on 2024-01-15 that the 30-bedroom building, which dates from 1856 and became a hotel in 1963, was on the market through Savills with a guide price of £1,250,000 and that the family had decided to sell. On 2024-11-21 the Lancashire Evening Post and the trade site Hotel Owner each reported that a private buyer, who was not named, had acquired the property through an auction contract for an undisclosed sum. The Lancashire Evening Post added that future plans for the venue had not been made public. None of the sources read reports a reopening.
The series 17 finale (Channel 5, aired 2022-08-11) was a revisit to Rosehill House Hotel in Burnley, which the Wikipedia list of Hotel Inspector episodes describes as a 30-bedroom hotel. TVmaze's listing says Alex Polizzi returned to see whether the owners had kept the hotel running through Covid-19 or revived their earlier plan to convert it into flats.
