– and what are their secrets?
HIGH TIMES AT THE HOTEL BRISTOL is a highly entertaining bedside book that follows the fortunes of financial adviser Tom Cotton as he develops an obsession about hotels called Bristol and the stories they can tell.
The result is twenty chapters of history and imagination, anecdote and gossip surrounding some of the world’s 200 or so hotels called Bristol – named either after the West Country port city or the outrageous 4th Earl Bristol of Ickworth in Suffolk (pictured right).
Read about...
* Lady Thatcher's finest hour — at the Warsaw Bristol
* The scandalous Lord Bristol — and Emma Hamiton
* The luxury life of Yassar Arafat's widow — at Le Bristol in Paris
* Leon Trotsky and Freda Karlo in Mexico — and the Hotel Bristol that never was
* The oil tycoon caught on camera in Room 512 — at the Bristol in New York
* Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson’s high noon — in the Hotel Bristol, Vienna
* And find out what Lady Victoria Hervey and Paris Hilton have in common — it’s more than you’d think!
PLUS: Maradona, LL Cool J, LJK Setright, Leland Stanford, Voltaire and a host of other tale makers.
Enjoy the stories by the hotel pool, on the balcony or in the lounge; when eating or drinking alone; or when you climb into bed just before you turn out the light.
