Four Seasons Inn is a television programme presented as an individual episode. The show follows a format where a well‑known personality steps into a struggling hospitality venue and assesses its prospects. In this instalment, the focus is on a particular establishment that caters to canine companions. The episode sees chef Gordon Ramsay travel to a dog‑friendly hotel situated in Vermont that is in urgent need of assistance. Upon arriving, Ramsay begins a thorough evaluation of the property’s operations, facilities and overall condition, looking for ways to turn the situation around. The hotel, which welcomes guests and their dogs, is highlighted for its unique market niche, and its location in the rural state of Vermont provides a picturesque backdrop for the chef’s inspection. Ramsay’s expertise as a restaurateur and hotelier informs his initial analysis, as he examines everything from the kitchen to the guest rooms, trying to pinpoint the core issues that have led to the current crisis. As his assessment progresses, the chef starts to question whether revitalising the venue is realistic.
