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.
