Fox announced Wednesday that Gordon Ramsay will be adding a fourth reality show to the already successful “Ramsey” series on the network including "Hell’s Kitchen," "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Master Chef." 

"Hotel Hell" will change paths for the Scottish chef, away from the world of fine dining and cooking and into the world of hotel management. Ramsay and a team of hospitality experts will take struggling hotels, motels and bed & breakfasts to fix and transform them with a little bit of Ramsay magic.

“These are stories that everyone can relate to, because virtually all of us have had a bad hotel experience that’s turned a holiday or business trip into a total disaster,” Ramsay says in a statement. “It’s time to put the hospitality industry to the test.”

But of course, getting out of Hotel Hell will not be an easy task, as viewers have seen Ramsay’s wrath, F-bombs and high expectations on his other shows. 

“With reputations on the line, one thing is certain: if they can’t meet Ramsay’s high standards, they will never check out of ‘Hotel Hell,’” Fox says in a press release. 

The new reality series may look like a new territory for Ramsay, since viewers are only used to his exceptional knowledge and skill in cooking and fine dining. However, the internationally renowned chef also has hotel experience, according to Entetainment Weekly. He “studied hotel management as a young man” and “worked and owned hotel-based restaurants throughout his career.” 

“Gordon is amazing to work with and no matter what the premise, he delivers every time,” said Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment at Fox. 

"Hotel Hell" is a working title and a release date is yet to be announced.
