action
The main character of the series is Markus Winter ( Christian Kohlund ), whose aunt Dorothea von Siethoff once founded the Siethoff hotel group and is its owner. Initially as a hotel manager and later as managing director of the hotel group, Markus visits a different luxury hotel in this group in each episode, acts there as manager or director, has some experiences and solves problems for his employees and guests. He has his daughter Leonie by his side in various episodes. Even his aunt often takes part in the events in the early years. The individual episodes usually consist of three independent storylines. Often these are two stories that revolve around the guests and one story that involves the hotel staff.

Inconsistencies
In the Chiang Mai episode, a person goes missing while diving and some scenes take place on a beach; Chiang Mai is over 500 km from a coast.
In the first episode, Markus phones Leonie's mother and calls her Susanne. In the last episode, Leonie's mother is suddenly called Gabrielle.
In the episode "Myanmar", the actors often drive along the beach or the coast on their way from Yangon to Bagan . On this route, however, there is no coast at a reasonable distance.
