TORONTO (July 13, 2023) – Monday nights are redesigned as all-new CTV Life Channel Original series STAYING INN: HOTEL JULIE airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on CTV Life, CTV.ca, and the CTV app beginning Aug. 7. The 10-episode half-hour series follows Creative Director Autumn Hachey, alongside interior designer Jillian Smith-Moher and an expert team of collaborators, as they work to revamp a 19th century inn into a luxury boutique hotel in Stratford, Ont. before the city’s world-renowned theatre season opens.
