What happened after Hotel Hell?

Gordon Ramsay visited the Brick Hotel in Newtown, Pennsylvania, for Hotel Hell season 3, episode 6, which aired 2016-06-28. The building dates to the 1760s and anchors a corner in Newtown's historic district, and Ramsay's visit addressed the hotel's restaurant, Rocco's, and its lodging operations. Bucksco.today reported in August 2026 that Rocco's closed in fall 2025 amid a dispute with the building's owner, landlord Verindar Kaur, and that a new restaurant, Donatelli's, planned to open in the same space with an August 2026 target date, bringing steak, seafood, and Italian dishes to the historic building. Patch had earlier reported that the Brick Hotel operated under new restaurant management following the show. Yelp's listing for the Brick Hotel at 1 Washington Ave, Newtown, PA, was updated August 2026 with 57 reviews, and Tripadvisor separately listed current pricing and reviews for the property. The inn's own website, brickhotel.com, described a boutique hotel with 15 rooms and referenced the building's history but did not display a current year or copyright date in the pages checked on 2026-09-09. Between the actively updated Yelp listing, the Bucksco.today reporting on the incoming restaurant tenant, and the hotel's continuing room reservations, the Brick Hotel building itself remains an operating hotel property even as its ground-floor restaurant tenant has changed hands.
