Simon Shaw si zdánlivě nemá nač stěžovat: je mu dvaačtyřicet, je zdravý, bohatý a úspěšný. Jenomže se zrovna rozvedl a jeho bývalá žena se ho snaží připravit nejen o spoustu peněz, ale (za vydatného přispění jeho klientů) i o všechnu energii. Na radu svého majordoma, přítele i důvěrníka Ernesta se Simon vydává odpočívat do jižní Francie. Náhoda (či nehoda) uvězní Simona v jedné luberonské vesnici a přivede mu do cesty okouzlující Nicole, která ho nadchne pro úžasný plán: koupit ve vsi opuštěnou četnickou stanici s nádherným výhledem do kraje a proměnit ji v útulný provensálský hotýlek. Simon, Nicole a pochopitelně Ernest se po hlavě vrhnou do nového života. Všechno běží jako na drátkách, idyla je na spadnutí…, bohužel však dojde k vyloupení banky v blízkém městečku, což otevře hráz povodni neblahých událostí a nepříjemných odhalení, které ohrožují ráj na zemi, jenž si Simon hodlal vybudovat.

“Truly a great book—unique, invaluable and unapproachable as the gold standard of the genre… Bemelmans got there first, more frequently, and better.” —Anthony Bourdain  Acerbic, colorful, and spirited stories from a bygone era: behind the scenes in a grand NY hotel, from the author of the Madeline books Picture David Sedaris writing Kitchen Confidential about the Ritz in New York in the 1920s, which had the style and charm of The Grand Budapest Hotel…In this charming and uproariously funny hotel memoir, Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide—the thinly disguised stand-in for the Ritz—a luxury New York hotel where he worked as a waiter in the 1920s. With equal parts affection and barbed wit, he uncovers the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious detail, Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly authoritarian maître d''hôtel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own charming line drawings, Bemelmans'' tales of a bygone era of extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining. “[Bemelmans] was the original bad boy ...

This book is based on the premise that being good is just not good enough in today''s competitive environment. For hotel owners and managers who want to achieve lasting business success through a root and branch review of key processes, How To Run a Great Hotel is a ''must read''. It will serve as a personal business consultant for the hotel professional, probing and testing their thinking across four critical themes which are proven to drive excellence. The content focuses less on day-to-day operations and more on big picture concerns such as strategy development, enhancing leadership skills, engaging employees and attaining customer focus, all of which are central to building a great hotel. Without clear direction in these important areas to guide activities, ongoing daily effort can be counterproductive. It''s easy for hoteliers to lose sight of their goals when, engulfed by operational demands, they are often forced to just do rather than to think about what they are doing. This book provides the reader with an opportunity to step back and take a fresh look at their hotel, no matter where it currently lies in its life cycle.

Reporters. Translators. Lovers. Spies. In THE RED HOTEL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF STALIN'S PROPAGANDA WAR, former Daily Telegraph Foreign Editor and Russia expert Alan Philps sets out the way Stalin created his own reality by constraining and muzzling the British and American reporters covering the Eastern front during the war and forcing them to reproduce Kremlin propaganda. War correspondents were both bullied and pampered in the gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and to share their beds.While some of these translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were brave secret dissenters who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's moving and addictive masterpiece of European identity, nostalgia and the end of an era. 'A masterpiece: grandiose style, brilliant and rich. It will defy the ages' Trouw (The Netherlands) 'The love of my life lives in my past.That is, despite the alliteration, a terrible sentence to write. I do not want to come to the conclusion that, as it is the case for the hotel where I am staying and the continent after which it is named, the best time is behind me and that I have little more to expect from the future than to live on my past.'
