Big Brother 27 Unveils a Mysterious New Look: Welcome to Hotel Mystère
Get ready, Big Brother fans—this summer comes with a twist. CBS has pulled back the curtain on the all-new Big Brother 27 house, and it’s been completely reimagined as Hotel Mystère. Think moody lighting, velvet furniture, and just enough glam to make you wonder what’s real and what’s part of the game. The theme this year? A full-on “Summer of Mystery,” and every inch of the house leans into it. What twists will the producers unlock and unleash on the cast of newbies this season?
Take a look at the first images below. The house looks amazing and it definitely shows they did not skimp on the budget for this one! Hopefully this is a precursor to pulling out all the stops for the upcoming season.
“BIG BROTHER: A Summer of Mystery” House Highlights:
Mystery Hotel Theme: The BIG BROTHER house is transformed into a suspense-filled hotel, complete with secrets, hidden passageways and a mysterious vibe that sets the stage for a summer of intrigue.
Reception Area: Houseguests are welcomed by a wall of 75 key boxes, some filled with skeleton keys and other clues that might reveal themselves later in the game …
Living Room Chess Guardians: Towering 22-foot walls and a balcony lined with giant plaster chess pieces (bishop, queen, king, knight) watch over the house, adding a regal and strategic flair.
Attic Bedroom of Oddities: Beds made from wooden crates, rubber masks on the walls and haunted artifacts like a black knight’s helmet and diving suit make this room a spooky treasure trove.
Sleeper Car Bunk Room: Behind a secret entrance, this train-themed bedroom straight out of a murder mystery novel contains bunkbeds for six Houseguests (the first time the BB house has had bunk beds since season one!) and a sleek Art Deco design.
Rooftop Garden Kitchen: The kitchen and dining area mimic a rooftop garden with ivy-covered walls, sunset skies and a 10-foot round garden party table under string lights.
Secretive “Wine Cellar”: A moody, bottle-lined cellar (with no actual wine, sorry Houseguests) is a perfect spot for whispering secrets and plotting moves.
Victorian Conservatory Lounge: A lush, plant-filled room with a 13-foot green velvet lounge and a plum tree, ideal for quiet strategy sessions.
Venom Lounge and Poison Bar: Upstairs, snakes slither across the wallpaper in a moody lounge featuring a “Poison Bar,” (don’t worry, there is no actual poison) a velvet daybed and ravens stealing party lights.
Boxing Ring Gym: The gym includes a full boxing ring, heavy bag and workout gear – great for blowing off steam and staying in top sleuthing shape.
First Impressions: A Lobby with Secrets
From the moment you walk in, it feels less like a house and more like a high-end boutique hotel with secrets to spill. Dark wood, jewel tones, and vintage accents give the place a luxe-but-eerie vibe. The kind of setting where you could plan an alliance over cocktails—or stab someone in the back before dessert. You better believe they will lean hard on the all new cast of house guests checking in and out of the “hotel” when their time is up..

Final Take
If this house is any clue, Big Brother 27 is going to lean hard into mystery, suspense, and strategy. It’s stylish, theatrical, and totally unpredictable. Host Julie Chen Moonves has already teased some “spy-style” surprises—and judging by the house, we’re in for a wild ride.
So what do you think? Will this moody, mysterious setting bring out new levels of gameplay? Or will it drive houseguests into paranoia faster than a double eviction? One thing’s for sure: this summer, nothing is as it seems.
Let the games—and the secrets—begin.
