About this listen

The number-one New York Times best-selling author of Airport reveals the inner workings of a New Orleans hotel - and the human drama unfolding behind its closed doors.

During five sultry days, the lives of the guests, the management, and the workers at New Orleans's largest and most elite hotel converge. The owner has four days to raise the money to save his financially ailing property. The general manager, once blacklisted from the hospitality business, struggles with one crisis after another. A rebellious heiress will do anything to attain her secret desires. The duke and the duchess in the lavish presidential suite are covering up a crime. And within one of the many guest rooms hides a professional thief.

Filled with memorable characters and authentic detail about the inner machinery and secrets of a five-star hotel, this gripping New York Times best seller sold millions of copies and was adapted for both film and TV. Set in a time when travel was still glamorous and grand independent hotels set the standard for luxury, it's like a vacation in itself, from the author of such behind-the-scenes blockbusters as The Moneychangers and Wheels.

What a lovely book where every detail has its own place in the story. Not a single thing left alone in the book just for the sake of the book being worldly. As for the plot, the author gives you enough vague facts about the happening evening so that the reader could draw their own conclusions and guess how the story will continue. Absolutely loved it!

Top story with an excellent narrator.
Really pleased to see all the Hailey books are available on Audible and am planning to download the rest.

The narrator was monotone and irritating at times.
I liked many of the characters and was invested in many of them.
I was a little perplexed with the ending, the last hour of the book didn't seem to fit with the rest of the book. Might just be me as others have said the opposite.

Unsure if I liked this book or not

This book is ‘of its time’ and touches on segregation and there is some (very little) offensive language used at the time. I enjoyed all the characters and will no doubt listen again.
Excellent narration.

Very Enjoyable!
