In April, I spent one night at the luxury "White Lotus" hotel in Sicily where the hit series was filmed.

And while there were many recognizable aspects of the hotel from the show, there were also many spots that weren't shown on screen.

The hotel has its own jewelry store, where guests spend an average of $8,700 per visit.

Access to the gym was free, making it one of the only major perks included in my $2,248 stay.

The hotel's tower has a fascinating history that wasn't mentioned in the series.

Instead of a mini fridge, there was a massive closet with water, a coffee machine, and a selection of tea.
