Arnold Bennett's The Grand Babylon Hotel, from 1902, tells the story of a German prince mysteriously disappearing. American millionaire Theodore Racksole and his daughter Nella stay at the exclusive Grand Babylon Hotel. When Nella is denied her dinner order of steak and Bass beer, Racksole's solution is to purchase the entire hotel for exactly four hundred thousand pounds and one guinea, the one guinea added after the former owner decides to haggle.

Work Description

Thronging with princes, diplomats, beautiful heiresses and international conspirators, the sumptuous suites and corridors of the Grand Babylon are buzzing with gossip, intrigue — even murder. The action opens (and swings from one cliff-hanger to the next) when Theodore Racksole, a New York railroad millionaire with more money than sense, decides to buy up the Grand Babylon, 'for an amusement'
