Right, so we can all agree that the castle used in The Traitors US<\/a> looks insanely amazing, but as it turns out the cast don’t actually stay there whilst filming?!<\/p>\n

Yep, whilst Ardross Castle in Scotland is used for filming, once the day is over cast members are driven 40 minutes back to their actual accommodation, which is a nearby Courtyard by Marriott hotel.<\/p>\n

A source revealed to The US Sun<\/a>: “It\u2019s just a normal, lower-star, affordable chain hotel that\u2019s walking distance to the airport everyone flies into.<\/p>\n

“People would be shocked if they knew. Everyone assumes they\u2019re treated like royalty inside the castle, and that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the stars, including the glamorous Housewives and the wealthy public figures, are all forced to stay at the same hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whilst on the UK version of The Traitors it’s made clear that they don’t stay at the castle, the same transparency isn’t used on the US series.<\/p>\n

The Marriott hotel is around a 40 minute drive from the castle, and costs an average of $70 per night for a room.<\/p>\n

The source continued: “It\u2019s the closest option that\u2019s big enough to house the cast and crew,\u201d the source explained. And it allows production to keep contestants completely separated from each other when cameras are down.\u201d<\/p>\n
