In a historical, French-inspired country, headstrong Jani and younger sister Zosa move to the city in search of opportunity following the death of their beloved mother, but it is only when the fabled, exclusive Hotel Magnifique comes to town that things begin to change for them.  A magical building that departs for a new destination each midnight, the hotel hires the sisters on as staff, but what was supposed to be a safe place for experiencing magic turns out to be a house of horrors.  Jani must race against time to protect her sister, but not without the help of Bel, the mysterious doorman with whom she has burning chemistry and passionate arguments.  Hotel Magnifique is a luscious magic carpet ride full of twists that will take your breath away!
