Seven Hotel Stories

"Charming, fun and fast-paced, Seven Hotel Stories brings Pimm's wit and vigour to that most difficult of literary forms, the short story" - Matthew Parris

You'll never make a fuss at a hotel again

Robert Pimm writes a fresh "Hotel Story" each year as a birthday present to his partner, who is a senior hotel manager. The stories in this volume were gifts between 2011 and 2017.

Glamorous, petite Ms N is the world's deadliest hotel manager. Ms N and her ally, the beautiful but naive Tatiana, won't tolerate misbehaviour. Whether they use a giant cake, a posse of alligators, an enraged sushi chef, the Russian mafia or three metres of concrete, Ms N and Tatiana will always get their man.

'Ms N is good at solving problems. One day, I want to be like her' - Tatiana
