英语小说hotel介绍电影
① 小说“大饭店”的简介
《大饭店》是阿瑟.黑利1965年的作品。它描写美国南部新奥尔良一家豪华的大饭店，由于老板沃伦.特伦特因循守旧，管理不善，跟不上时代的发展，结果负债累累，而被迫出售的故事。通过对这家饭店的描述，反映了美国资本主义社会形形色色的弊端和痼疾：旅馆巨擘弱肉强食，侦探人员敲诈勒索，饭店职工贪污盗窃，黑人遭到种族歧视，上层贵族卑鄙无耻，纨袴子弟腐化堕落，富商少女精神空虚，饭店惯窃贪婪无厌……所有这一切，可以说是腐朽的美国资本主义社会的一个缩影。象他的其他作品一样，阿瑟.黑利在这部小说里也塑造了几个可爱的人物。例如小说中的主人公彼得.麦克德莫特，在黑利的笔下，是一个年富力强、精通业务、事业心强、富有远见的经理人员。另外如认真负责的副厨师长安德烈.雷米尔、忠心耿耿的垃圾工人布克.特.格雷厄姆，作者都作了比较深入的描述，给人以深刻的印象。此外，作者在小说里结合故事情节介绍了许多有关现代旅馆管理方面的专业知识，值得广大的旅游和饭店工作人员一读。
在上个世纪后半叶以写通俗作品而闻名欧美文坛的小说家中，阿瑟.黑利实在是很突出的一位。他出生于英国，国籍却是加拿大，而成年后又长期侨居美国；他曾当过公务员、英国皇家空军飞行员、房地产掮客、商业杂志编辑和广告经理人员等。这些丰富的人生阅历，使他的作品题材广泛，风格独特。
阿瑟.黑利的作品都是以美国社会为背景，而且每一部都是通过讲述发生在一个行业内部的故事，来展示当时美国社会生活的某一个片断画面。
由于阿瑟.黑利作品中的场景大多设置为一个相对固定而又开放的场所，因而牵涉的人物可谓来自五湖四海，比如本书中，有饭店员工，有住店的顾客，有临时来开会的人,有私人侦探，甚至还有小偷。这些人物看似庞杂，互不关联，却又非常自然地凑在一起。对许多人着墨不多，却常能惟妙惟肖，使其形象跃然纸上。而书中的主要人物，或高尚睿智，或勇敢坚强，或私欲旺盛，或颟顸糊涂，一个个都被用白描的笔法塑造得如见其人，如闻其声，令人读后掩卷难忘。
【作者简介】
阿瑟.黑利(1920-2004)，他出生英伦，参加皇家空军征战二战，写尽美国社会百态之后，终老于巴哈马，但更愿承认自己是加拿大人。他的小说改编成电影，引领好莱坞的灾难片风潮；他的小说改编成电视剧，创造出历史最高的收视纪录。他的小说入选MBA教材，成为从业人员的必读之书；他的小说入选英文课本，是学习写作的经典范本。他是畅销书之父，作品被译作38种语言，总销量17亿册。他无时无刻不在编织故事，一天却只能创作600字。他是行业小说之王，人们从他的小说里了解空港经营、酒店管理、媒体运作、金融内幕，他却谦虚道：“我就是个讲故事的人，读者的其他收获不过是偶然罢了。”
② 第三十九级台阶the hotel-owner主要内容概括
《三十九级台阶》主要内容概括：
从南部非洲返回英国生活的理乍得·汉内回到他在伦敦的寓所，感到百无聊赖。然而，那天晚上他的公寓中来了一位不速之客。这名叫斯卡德的美国人发现有个代号为“黑石”的外国间谍组织，正准备刺杀首相从而引起混乱，然后窃取一份重要的国防军事情报。斯卡德因为追踪他们的成员，被对方发现后身处杀人灭口的险境。汉内答应让斯卡德暂时在他的寓所躲避。一天夜里，汉内返回寓所时发现斯卡德被一把匕首钉死在了地板上。
汉内决定逃到苏格兰以便躲过警方的抓捕和“黑石”的追杀。他乔装改扮成送奶人的模样，向火车站奔去。此时，警方已经把他当成重要的谋杀嫌犯。
汉内进入了景色优美的苏格兰高原，这时穷追不舍的“黑石”跟了上来。汉内来到一家小客栈，在那个客栈老板的鼎力相助下，“黑石”的人被暂时引上歧途。奔逃之中，汉内邂逅年轻的哈里爵士，后者介绍汉内去找他的教父，英国外交部的高官沃尔特·布利文特勋爵。之后，汉内又假扮修路人骗过了“黑石”间谍组织成员的盘问。
汉内在苏格兰高原的野外过夜，搜索他的人终于发现了他的踪迹。汉内拼尽全力在高原上奔逃，忙不择路逃进了一幢农舍，没想到冤家路窄，这里正是“黑石”的巢穴之一。汉内好不容易才逃出魔窟，他返回修路人家中，去取留在那里的斯卡德的笔记本。由于过度劳累，汉内大病了一场。
汉内病愈后离开修路人的家，费了一番周折找到沃尔特·布利文特勋爵的乡间别墅，与他接上头，汉内的逃亡生活结束了。沃尔特勋爵觉得汉内带来的信息有些危言耸听。而事态的发展恰恰证明这一切都是真的。希腊首相正像那些间谍所计划的那样被暗杀了！
沃尔特勋爵带着汉内急返伦敦作好应变准备，此时警方已经不再通缉汉内。绷紧的弦突然松了下来，汉内感到有些失落。不过他感觉到“黑石 ”一定还会有惊人之举。在本能的驱使下，他立刻返回沃尔特勋爵的住所，及时发现“黑石”已经派人假扮海军大臣从这里召开的重要会议上窃走了国防机密。与会的英法高层人士纷纷震愕，一时间均感到束手无策。汉内根据斯卡德笔记本中提到“三十九级台阶”作出大胆推测，遂被委以重任领导抓捕行动。经过一番惊心动魄的殊死搏斗，汉内在警方与军方的配合下终于粉碎了德国间谍的外逃阴谋，截获了他们窃取的重要情报，把“ 黑石”一网打尽。
《三十九级台阶》是英国作家约翰·巴肯的重要作品之一。在这部小说中，从南部非洲返回英国的采矿工程师理乍得·汉内为阻止国防绝密文件落入德国人之手，与德国间谍展开了一场惊心动魄的搏斗。小说的文笔通俗细腻，故事情节跌宕起伏，悬念丛生，惊险瞬间目不暇接，不愧为一部脍炙人口的惊险小说。该小说于1935年被改编为同名电影，后于1978年被再次改编。
③ 介绍酒店的英语作文My favorite hotel
There are many reasons to stay at Byblos: the charming Provencal-village of adjoining houses that surround the beautiful courtyard and pool; the fact that each room is unique and different; the great dining options of Spoon and Le B; the incredible location right in town near the Place des Lices; the access to the fantastic Les Caves; and of course the incredible history (Brigitte Bardot participating in the opening, Mick Jagger and Bianca being wed there).
However, I would actually cite one reason above all others: the flawless service. From the moment we arrived and were personally greeted by the general manager, who urged us to let him know if there was anything he could do to make our stay more comfortable, we were treated simply wonderfully by everyone at Byblos, from the concierges, to people at reception, to the valet, to the wait staff, to the spa staff. Byblos employees understand how to walk that fine line of treating you with the utmost respect, without coming across as cold or stuffy. The result is a feeling like you are staying at home, like you belong there, like they have been waiting for your arrival all year long and want nothing more than for you to have the best time of your life while staying there.
Finally, I would note that (as others have mentioned) that Byblos just has that special something, which is hard to put your finger on, but that just makes every moment there feel wonderful and exciting.
Of course, there are flaws, as in any hotel. It is expensive, the rooms tend to run small, and some rooms may be loud on certain nights based on proximity to the nightclub. So if any of these issues would make your trip unpleasant, you might want to consider somewhere else, perhaps a hotel slightly out of town that is quieter and with more room.
But for me, Byblos is simply the best - in Saint Tropez, and probably anywhere.

However then he had been involved with a lady at time when he was supposed to be on ty. This gave Peter’s wife and the lady’s husband a reason to ask for a divorce. Getting involved was not a big thing for hotel to avoid but it had marked the headlines of newspaper so much, that he was dismissed from the job and was blacklisted. But Warren Trent, the head of St. Gregory Hotel, ignoring the past and considering the skill, hired him. The novel captures McDermott attempts to deal with several crises in the hotel which involve a range of other characters.
The Hotel Finance Problem: The Hotel's unpayable and unrenewable mortgage is e on Friday, necessitating its sale. Curtis O'Keefe, the one who owns a large hotel chains plans to buy St. Gregory hotel in New Orleans as the O'Keefe chain did not have a hotel here. They had offered to pay the two million mortgages e and one million dollar and living accommodation to Warren Trent as well. However Warren did not want to lose the hotel which he had nurtured for so long. They decided upon Friday afternoon timeline to make a decision on the deal. Warren Trent meanwhile decided to mark a deal with Journey man Union who wanted to enter the hotel Instry for long but were not successful. This way Warren Trent could maintain an independence of the hotel and still have a say in the affairs of it. Journey man had decided to send two of his executives on Thursday to study the books of hotel and then decide before the Friday afternoon deadline decided between Warren Trent and Curtis O'Keefe.Royall Edwards of St.Gregory had been appointed by Warren Trent to work with the two officers, if required all night, so that they complete the whole of study. However upset with the denial of entry to Negro man in Hotel, which became the headline of newspapers, Journeyman Union broke the deal. Warren Trent had no option but to give in to Curtis O'Keefe. To his utmost surprise, a few minutes before Friday noon, the bank manager who had turned down refinancing of the hotel, came with an offer, that an Indivial, whose name could not be disclosed then, would be paying the mortgage and buying the major shares of the Hotel. Warren Trent would be the chairman, though Warren knew that he would be just a figurehead but as it was a better offer, so he accepted.
Christine and Albert Wells: Christine is the secretary to Warren Trent. Peter and Christine has a liking for each other. They share many things in common and feel they could be happy together. In hotel one of the guests Mr. Albert Wells had medical problems in his room. The hotel staff was quite alert and fast enough to move him in another room. He was quite elderly. Christine took care of Albert Wells personally as he was the hotel guest. Marsha Prescott: In another incident a group of teen-aged boys create a major incident that is aggravated by the fact that they are the sons of the local banker, car dealer, and other town notables. They try to attempt a rape on Marsha Prescott, the daughter of Mr. Prescott who is currently in Rome. However on listening her screams, Aloysis Royce, (a Negro and main help to Warren Trent who treats him like a son.) steps in and Marsha is able to escape then. Peter handles the situation and asks for a written apology from each of the boys involved in it. In said letters, villainous Bell Captain, Herbie Chandler is named as the one who made the incident possible. Marsha on the other hand falls in ‘love’ with Peter McDermott and proposes him for marriage. Peter finds it difficult to say no to her considering her affluence and beauty but finally says no as he knew that he liked Christine. However he overcomes his sense of guilt when he gets to know from Anna (Head maid servant of Marsha) that she is always the same and will be ok in some time and that Anna was not married. However Marsha in framing a good background to convince peter had said that Anna had a very good life with her husband whom she had met only once before marriage and it was not necessary to know a person for too long before to decide on marriage.
The Dentist Convention: Hotel business gains a minimum from room rent but a bulk of its profit comes from the food, conventions held at its place. As a sequel to it, a major convention of dentists was supposed to be held in St. Gregory. Dr Ingram, President of convention had arrived and settled in his room. Then Mr. Nicholas, a Negro, arrived at the counter, showing a confirmed reservation. However the hotel policy did not allow negros. Dr Ingram was quite disappointed at this and threatened the hotel authority that he would take the convention out of hotel, causing a major loss to hotel. When Peter discussed it with Warren he said, that after a few discussions this would be forgotten and the convention would be held and there was no need to worry. And after a few meetings the convention finally decided to stay though Mr. Ingram resigned from his post.

[edit] Structure of novel
The novel features multiple unfolding plot lines which take place over a period of five weekdays, Monday through Friday. Some days feature self-contained episodes exploring particular elements of the routine of a large hotel in detail. Meg Yetmein, the cleaning lady, "gets hers back" by smuggling out steaks under her clothing toward the end of her shift; Tom Earlshore, the fired bartender, does much the same by "skimming" liquor. Other brief episodes explain techniques used by prostitutes in entering and exiting the hotel undetected, and the various methods used by the hotel thief.
⑩ 关于英文电影有关饭店的情节
卢旺达饭店
11年前，人类历史上最为残暴的大规模屠杀发生在了卢旺达，然而在传播手段快速发达、正点新闻不绝于耳的这样一个时代，这场发生在同一国家内不同种族之间的屠杀竟然毫不“引人注目”地持续发生了三个月，近100万人在这场屠杀中丧失生命。然而在这样一个被世界遗忘的角落里，有一个叫保罗的普通人做出了非凡的行动--拯救了千余人的生命。
在屠杀发生之前，保罗一直工作在一家四星级的涉外酒店，他每天关注的无非就是那些大部分来自于欧洲的有钱客人的满意与舒适。除了这些，他还介绍警察作些古巴雪茄、苏格兰威士忌的生意。然而灾难降临，饭店的经理迅速逃离，只留下他掌管一切。比利时的军队保护起外国的游客，却置本地居民于不顾。保罗最新想到的是保护自己异族的妻子和三个孩子，而对帮助家庭之外的邻居等人，他还有些犹豫，可当他打开饭店的门，看见流离失所的穷人和孤儿，他还是决定收留起这些平民。
