Detailed, insighful and still on target - 35 years later!, January 24, 2011
This review is from: Hotel
By Arthur Hailey
In 1965, author Arthur Hailey wrote one of his best-known novels,
HOTEL . This story was deep in detail, background, theme and character
development. It offers reasonably accurate insights over a 5-day period
in the life of an early 1960s independent, upscale hotel in New Orleans
that is facing many challenges. The book addresses a number of American
civil rights issues of the period, as well as contradicting stories of
staff loyalty on one hand and dishonesty on the other. It tackles a
number of business issues that remain current today, as well the matter
of brand expansion in today's hotels versus operating as an independent.
