==Trivia==
*Guest star, [[Bae Yong Jun]] was actually in the original Korean version of [[Hotelier]], and his character was by the same name, Shin Dong Hyuk. In this Japanese version, however, he does  not play the same character (the antagonist, which is played by [[Oikawa Mitsuhiro]] in this version), but instead a supporter of [[Ueto Aya]]'s character. Most of his lines will be in Korean, and his scenes will be shot in Korea as well.
*The motto of the featuring hotel, Tokyo Ocean Hotel, is "L'espoir fait vivre". Translated, it means "Hope makes life".
*In episode 7, popular Korean group [[SS501]] makes a guest appearance on the show, playing themselves as guests at the starring hotel.
