The young hotel manager Millie has inherited the Prinzenhof from her grandparents and is trying—sometimes desperately, sometimes highly motivated—to keep her hotel running. Together with her team, which consists of her best friend and head of security Adriana, concierge Charles, head chef Franca, and bartender Rafael, Millie does her best to satisfy guests from near and far, often using unconventional methods.

Each episode tells the story of a night shift of the hotel crew until dawn and their encounters with both welcome and unwelcome night owls, homeless people who couldn't get a room anywhere else, guests who stumble into the hotel late after Oktoberfest, and/or those who use the hotel bar as an emotional refuge.

Supposed VIP guests, romantic pest control missions, a notoriously empty hotel cash register, very special guest requests—all this and much more is handled by the “Nighties.” And even when claws come out in disputes over special treasures from the hotel’s lost and found: at daybreak, at the end of their shift, Rafael serves the rest of the team the obligatory nightcap, a “Blutgrätsche.”
