2013-06-07 — /travelprnews.com/ — Today (06|06|2013), Jersey’s Atlantic Hotel will appear on the US Travel Channel’s flagship series ‘Island Secrets.’ In the 30 minute programme which airs at 12 noon Eastern time, The Atlantic is the only hotel in Jersey to be featured and was chosen for its stunning interiors and incredible views out to St Ouen’s Bay.
The director and his production team travelled to Jersey and Guernsey to experience the very best that the islands have to offer and along with The Atlantic Hotel the programme focuses on the heritage of the Channel Islands with a look at Jersey’s Fort Leicester and La Crete Fort along with Elizabeth Castle. It also showcases the diversity of sporting activities available, including blo-karting and diving.
Hotel owner, Patrick Burke, who was interviewed for the programme, was delighted to host the crew back in September 2012 and help with the arrangements which included visits to some of the high quality local artisan producers who supply the hotel’s kitchens such as Faulkner Fisheries at L’Etacq and Classic Herd in St Peter.
