About this listen

The Grand Budapest Hotel in space, Floating Hotel is a hopeful story of misfits, rebels and found family, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard.

Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. Year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the milky way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury - and a magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as:

Why are there love poems in the lobby intray?

How many Imperial spies are currently on board?

What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver's conference?

And perhaps most pertinently - who is driving the ship?

At the centre of these mysteries stands Carl, one time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It's the love of his life and the only place he's ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl's comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

A fine story

Enjoyable elements with a slow pace. I liked the characters too. Generally I go for faster paced books.

I really enjoyed the narrators voices for the characters.

An absorbing story, more about the the characters than the Sci-fi. I would really like to read a follow up or second book.

Great characters

Such an original sci fi story, with mosaic movie like elements. Curtis is a criminally underrated writer.

Masterful mosaic storytelling on a spaceship
