As many of you know, the Hotel has been under renovation for months now. In that time, we’ve reconfigured the whole online interface in an effort to make the site more user-friendly, a little more accessible, easier to navigate, etc. You’ll notice we’ve added a blog, known as the ECHO CHAMBER, excerpts of which are featured in the ATRIUM. The blog functions as an open forum for matters pertaining to books, culture and in general things that strike us as worthy of curiosity.
We’ve also restaffed. Two extraordinary new editors, Dan Visel, from the Institute for the Future of the Book, and Dan Piepenbring, from Farrar, Straus and Giroux, have become keepers of the Hotel, much to our delight. In addition to mining the world for interesting writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers and other potential guests of HSG, they will be contributing regular articles and blog posts of their own. Feel free to check them out here.
While you’re there, you may as well wander around a bit. Click the links at the bottom of the page. View some films, listen to some music, read a few stories. Explore the Hotel; that’s what it’s here for.
We hope it’s been worth the wait.
