Love Island may be over but the search for love is still hotting up abroad - this time on Channel 4.

Maitre d’ Fred Sirieix is back with a brand new series of First Dates Hotel, helping singletons find their perfect match outside London’s Paternoster Chop House.

After being matched up by a clever scientific formula, the love-seeking hopefuls will check in the Italian heaven and hope that sparks fly.

Ahead of the return of the series, here is everything you need to know about First Dates Hotel…

What is First Dates Hotel?

Each episode works similar to First Dates, with two singletons being paired up before being wined and dined in a romantic location, except they’re in a hotel setting instead of the London-based restaurant.

If they really hit it off and want to see each other again, they can stay the night in the hotel – which is located in Southern Italy – before spending the next day on a date getting to know each other.

Host: Maitre d’ Fred Sirieix

Where is the First Dates Hotel?

The same hotel in Campania will be featured in the second series, seeing guests check in at the Aquapetra Resort and Spa.

Of the location, series editor of Adam Chapman said: “We’re so excited about the gorgeous location in Southern Italy.

"This hotel has the perfect mix of luxury and old-fashioned romance in arguably the most passionate country in the world.”

When is First Dates Hotel on?

The six-part series returns on Tuesday 28 August at 9.15pm on Channel 4. Episodes will be available for catch up on All 4 shortly after.
