Following a group of British tourists vacationing on the Italian Riviera during the 1920s, The Hotel explores the social and emotional relationships that develop among the well-heeled residents of the eponymous establishment.

Bowen depicts an intense interpersonal drama with wit and suspense, while playing with and pushing the English language to its boundaries
