A review by felinity
Hotel by Arthur Hailey

4.0

It says something that Hailey crammed so many details and masterfully entwined the multiple minor plots into this story that they decided to make a TV series out of it, rather than a book. (Unfortunately the series can't hold a candle to it, but you can't have everything.)

If you ever wanted to know about how hotels are run, this offers a behind-the-scenes view of a luxury hotel. (And yes, hotels *are* moving back to this model!) Partying teenagers, sick guests, entitled rich folks, a possible buy-out and staff conflicts all feature.
