HOTEL LOBBIES: PEOPLE STORIES PLACES (LANNOO) (HB)

Author and journalist Lee Tulloch explores the hotel lobby as a stage for human drama and cultural meaning. Through striking examples from around the world, she combines sharp, witty essays with interviews-from a bellboy to a hotel manager-to reveal the lobby as more than a waiting space. It becomes a place of encounter, performance, and quiet observation, shaped by design and behaviour alike. Blending insight with storytelling, the book shows how lobbies influence experience and appear in film and culture, capturing fleeting moments of connection in a transient world.
