History Series / HotelBeauSejour

* AbusiveParents: Alexander treats his son, Charlie, like he is vermin; and never takes any responsibility for the latter’s mental illness.

* BritishBrevity: There are only 10 episodes in the series.

** [[spoiler: Charlie]] once tried to [[spoiler: murder Leon with razor wire]].

** ** [[spoiler: Ines]] and [[spoiler: Luc]] have been in an affair for some time.

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Marcus]] is the murderer.

* RealityEnsues: Alexander provides crucial information leading to the murderer finally being caught, but he still goes to jail due to working with a drug lord and then sabotaging the investigation to cover that up.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Kato's murderer (as well as the murderer of Claudia DeWitt, Sofia Otten, and Leon Vinken), Marcus Otten, is found and brought to justice - but, as expected, this leads to Kato's 'ghost' fading from existence. The events of the series have also destroyed a number of lives - Melanie has lost her son and is likely going to prison for tampering with evidence, Alexander is likely going to prison (or at the very least, being drummed out of the police force in disgrace) for being on Vanderkirk's payroll, and Cyril has not only lost his sister and his step-sister, but now knows his father was their murderer and is going to prison. Charlie is free again, but given that he's starting to hallucinate Kato, it seems that his already tenuous grip on sanity is slipping away. On the bright side, Ines gets to leave town with the money Kato's grandmother, Renee, made from working with Vanderkirk, so she'll be able to provide for her soon-to-be-born child.]]

* NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler: mixed with FridgeLogic. When Kato' murdrerer is revealed, we also realize the character managed to never, ever, freak out in the presence of the ghost of the girl he killed.]]

* Averted CommonTongue: in the original, all characters speak Flemish, except for a few conversations between policewoman Marion and her mother, who are the German-speaking Belgians, and speak their German dialect when alone together. The same policewoman follows a lead beyond the Dutch border, and the characters she interacts with speak Dutch to her (which any person speaking Flemish understands).

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Kato eats, sleeps, and feels pain, and can only be seen by people connected to her death.

* Averted [[CommonTongue]]: in the original, all characters speak Flemish, except for a few conversations between policewoman Marion and her mother, who are the German-speaking Belgians, and speak their German dialect when alone together. The same policewoman follows a lead beyond the Dutch border, and the characters she interacts with speak Dutch to her (which any person speaking Flemish understands).

Despite the name and subject matter of the series, this is not an example for the HellHotel trope.
