I recently stopped reading Arthur Hailey's (above, holding a copy of a different one of his books) novel Hotel. I managed to read more than sixty pages of this novel, which is set in New Orleans in the 1960s and concerns a once proud hotel that has fallen on hard times. Hailey also wrote such classics as Airport, which spawned a series of popular movies. Abandoning this book made me remember other books that I actually did finish and that were mostly or partially about hotels--
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
Tintin in the New World by Frederic Tuten
I Served the King of England by Bohumil Hrabal
The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving
A Riot of Our Own- Night and Day with the Clash by Johnny Green and Garry Barker
The World of Suzie Wong by Richard Mason
