Duration: 40 minutes

Documentary following the construction of a new boutique hotel in London.

Mark Fuller, nightclub owner, entrepreneur and host to the stars, has a new venture: Sanctum Soho, London's first rock 'n' roll-themed boutique hotel. Its 30 individually designed rooms are aimed at rock stars and celebrities wanting to stay in the capital.

Eight weeks ahead of opening, Sanctum still looks like a building site. Launching in one of the worst recessions in living memory, it's two years late and the cost of the build has spiralled. Amid delays and disasters, Mark wonders whether Sanctum will open on time and on budget.
