Hotel Story was an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions for the Ten Network in 1977. The series, intended as a replacement for The Box, was set in a luxury international hotel. The regular characters were the hotel workers and in each one-hour episode they hosted a new batch of glamorous guest-star hotel guests, and rather like a drama version of The Love Boat stories would focus on both the self-contained dramas of the passing guests and the on-going problems of the hotel staff. The regular cast was headed by Terence Donovan as the hotel manager, and also included Carmen Duncan, George Spartels, and American actor Richard Lawson.

There was some positive feedback and while it was too late for Hotel Story itself, the concept was later revived for the series Holiday Island.
