''Hotel'' is a 1965 novel by Arthur Hailey. It is the story of an independent New Orleans hotel, the St. Gregory, and its management's struggle to regain profitability and avoid being assimilated into the O'Keefe chain of hotels. The St. Gregory is supposedly based on the ''Roosevelt Hotel'', although the old St. Charles Hotel is also cited as the basis for the novel. The novel was adapted into a movie in 1967, and in 1983 Aaron Spelling turned into a television series, airing for five years on ABC. In the TV series the St. Gregory Hotel was moved from New Orleans to San Francisco. ==Characters== * Peter McDermott, manager * Warren Trent, proprietor * Christine Francis, secretary to Warren Trent * Herbie Chandler, villainous Bell Captain * Aloysius Royce, administrative assistant to Warren Trent * Curtis O'Keefe, owner of the O'Keefe chain * Dorothy "Dodo" Lash, O'Keefe's starlet companion * Albert Wells, aging hotel guest * The Duke and Duchess of Croydon, guests in the Presidential Suite * Ogilvie, house detective * Julius "Keycase" Milne, hotel thief * Marsha Preyscott, one night guest in the hotel Wenzhen Qiu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hotel (novel)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
