A journey to international hotels immortalised by the world’s great writers. This is a travel guide with a difference containing fiction and some practical facts about the establishments featured.

Hotels have been a way of life, an essential place to work, an inspiration, or an inexhaustible mine of stories for many writers, such as Paul Bowles, Simone de Beauvoir, Graham Greene, James Joyce and Thomas Mann. Many of them spent half their lives in hotels and created some of their most renowned works there. Be there when Tennessee Williams meets Greta Garbo in her hotel room in the New York Ritz, Hemingway makes the most of the service in Istanbul’s Grand Hotel London and Scott Fitzgerald swings like a chimpanzee from chandelier to chandelier in the Paris Ritz. Enjoy the company of some real connoisseurs on these fascinating trips to some of the world’s most sumptous places!
