Hotel Eleon

The new series of CTC, which will continue the story of the hit comedy "Kitchen". Chef Victor Barinov retired and Eleanor Andreevna met the man of her dreams and moved to St. Petersburg - this ended the final season of "Kitchen". But life in the hotel and the restaurant continues: Michael Dzhekovich still responsible for order in the "Eleon" chef Victor restaurant appointed Senya, and her daughter gets an unexpected boost, which is not pleased with the bone. Everything goes on as usual, while the hotel is not headed by Paul - unlucky nephew of former mistress. In order not to disappoint Aunt and save the business, he entices Brussels Supermenedzher Sofia Tolstaya. New management sets its own rules, and now the hotel is waiting for major changes that overturned upside down not only the habitual way of "Eleon", but the characters and personal plans.

Hotel Eleon (2016-2017) is a Russian workplace comedy-drama series created for CTC, a three-season serialized continuation of the hit comedy Kitchen. Set in a St. Petersburg hotel and its restaurant, the show follows Sofiya Yanovna (Ekaterina Vilkova), a new manager sent in to rescue the struggling business, alongside Dasha Kanayeva (Diana Pozharskaya), Senya (Sergey Lavygin), and Eleonora Andreyevna (Elena Ksenofontova) as staff and family members navigate the upheaval. The engine of each episode is simple: the daily grind of running a hotel and restaurant, from kitchen friction to guest problems, collides with rivalries, romances and personal plans. Its sixty-three episodes unfold as one continuing ensemble story rather than standalone cases, with scenes built around office politics and domestic mishaps. The tone is breezy and warm, with comic irritation softened by affection for its characters. Fans of Kitchen, along with those who enjoy ensemble workplace sitcoms and light soap-style storylines in the vein of Hotel Babylon and Downton Abbey, will find a familiar and comforting world here, set in a contemporary Russian city.

Audiences rate the series positively, with a consistent audience score across its three seasons, though the broader critical record is thin.
