The next time you're writing a conference papers in a hotel, we recommend Anna Despotopoulou on women and interwar hotels as a "space of one's own".

#DHLOTD - 27 Sep 1929 - to Earl Brewster:

‘From here [Hotel Beau Rivage, Bandol], one feels Africa. It is queer - but the direct vibration seems to be from Africa. Next winter we’ll go’.

["Dark" Durrell @DarkDurrell]

"I spent a week there in the old familiar room at the Cecil, now stripped of all its finery and echoing like a barn with the seawind sweeping under doors and through the windows; I reflected on exile in general and my own in particular...1/2

Mazo de la Roche, "Delight" 1926
The exceptionally attractive Delight outshines all the other Duke of York Hotel maids at the hotel ball:
“Delight,” he bit off, “you’re a terrible woman. I believe you’re going to be the curse of this hotel" #HotelAtlas

"Georgian Café, the Grange, Winnipeg." One of a set of collotype postcards produced for the hotel's owner, George Skinner. Unused. Restaurant interiors are really interesting -- countless thousands of these images are preserved on postcards from this era from around the world.

“I met in the lobby of the hotel Mme Pringo, Mr. Haicalis and his daughters, with whom I exchanged a few polite words. As I did not feel quite well, I did not lunch. I had a copious tea at 3 – eggs, bread and butter. I feel very well now.”

– C.P. Cavafy, Phalerum, 27 July 1901.

Nadine Gordimer, “A Style of Her Own” (1960)
