A series that looks into the storied pasts of famous and not-so-famous hotels begins with a well-known inventor's room being raided by the FBI; and later, a resort that inspired a popular horror novel is toured. The premiere also features the legend of an outlaw who was double-crossed by his own gang; a Hollywood murder mystery; and a plot to kill an American president.

Hotel Secrets & Legends exposes a showdown for gold in Deadwood, a luxurious hotel suite, a booze-fueled rebellion in Pennsylvania, the escapades of three business titans, and the court case that cost a famous lawyer his life.
