Berlin, 4. Dezember 2013 – Die neuen Episoden der beliebten Nickelodeon-Serie bringen einige Veränderungen ins Hotel 13. Nach ihrem letzten großen Abenteuer in den 1950er Jahren entdeckten Tom, Anna und Liv, dass die Zeitmaschine aus Hotel 13 verschwunden ist. Dennoch tauchen plötzlich seltsame Figuren aus der Vergangenheit auf. Und auch der Hotelbesitzer Herr Leopold ist nicht mehr aufzufinden. Die drei Teenager müssen nun versuchen herauszufinden, warum auf einmal Piraten und Neandertaler den Hotelalltag aufmischen.

Nicht nur die Handlung liefert Aufregendes, denn die Fans können nicht nur ein Wiedersehen feiern mit den bekannten Schauspielern aus der ersten Staffel, sondern zudem neue Gesichter kennenlernen: Sarah Thonig übernimmt die Rolle der Liv von Julia Schäfle. Jack, früher verkörpert durch Gerrit Klein, wird nun von Lion Wasczyk gespielt. Hinzu kommt Jamie Watson als Küchenhilfe Zoe, die Flo (Marcel Glauche) in der Zeit vertritt, in der er mit seiner Assistentin Victoria (Hanna Scholz) auf weltweiter Zaubertournee ist. Außerdem checkt Jan-Hendrik Kiefer als Noah ins Hotel 13 ein.
