"The Grand Babylon Hôtel" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in London’s exclusive Grand Babylon Hotel, focusing on the encounters of its staff and guests, particularly highlighting the millionaire Theodore Racksole and his daughter Nella. As Racksole takes ownership of the hotel, unusual events emerge, setting the stage for intrigue and adventure. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the hotel’s ambiance and distinguished employees, specifically Jules, the head waiter, and Miss Spencer, the bureau clerk. Theodore Racksole, an American millionaire, arrives with his daughter, creating tensions with the staff when he requests an unusual drink. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a dramatic evening, featuring hints of conspiracy with the mysterious death of a guest, Reginald Dimmock, and foreshadowing the arrival of royalty, adding layers of suspense to the narrative. The dynamics between the characters, especially between father and daughter, along with the interactions with the hotel’s staff, set an engaging tone for the unfolding story.
