Hotel

About “Hotel”

During the breakdown of an unhappy marriage, writer Joanna Walsh took a job as a hotel reviewer and began exploring places that offered an escape from home. The book examines hotels as spaces where desires meet the realities of the market. It blends memoir with reflection, visiting various hotel areas such as rooms, suites, hallways, and lobbies. The work explores how these modern spaces serve as both gathering places and sites of alienation.
