Hotel History
por Yael & D’EttaTemporada 3
Ancient Inns from Greece to Bethlehem
Hotels and their predecessors have been around for thousands of years. So what were they like back in the medieval period? Were they full of knights, adventurers, drunkards, bandits, and a wench or two? Turns out, just like today, you had a choice of accommodations based on the coin in your pocket, so where would you have stayed?

It's election season in America, but instead of watching cable news around the clock, we're distracting ourselves with an episode about hotels where major events in American history have taken place. We have the scandal that made Watergate a household name, a hotel where Martin Luther King Jr. left his mark on the eve of the March on Washington, and the "safest hotel in DC" where an attempt was made on Ronald Reagan's life. Read more about some of the events described in this episode here.* Follow us: TikTok | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube 👩🏽🤝👩🏻 Want to collaborate? 📰 Sign up for our free newsletter, The CHECK-IN. 📖 Join our free book club here. 📚 Shop our bookshelves here.* Support indie bookstores! ☕️ You can support Hotel History (and our caffeine addiction) here or on Patreon. 🎶 Music: Thief in the Night by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License Dreamer by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License True Patriot by MaxKoMusic is licensed under a Creative Commons License Book Club: Behind the Door of the Cecil Hotel
Before the first leaf even hits the ground, you can hear thousands of people shouting, "Sweatah weathah!" in their best (or worst) New York accents.

Usually the whole point of a hotel is that you don't have to sleep outside, but these special "rooms" take you into some of the best spaces Mother Nature has to offer. Take your pick from staying in a treehouse, underwater in a lagoon, in a star bed with arguably the best view of the night sky on the planet, and more. Most of them can also be enjoyed by the less outdoors-inclined, and some of them offer indoor stays, too, so there's something for everyone! ☕️ You can support Hotel History (and our caffeine addiction) here or on Patreon. 📰 Sign up for our free newsletter, The CHECK-IN. 📖 Join our book club here. 📚 Shop our bookshelves here. 🤳 Follow us: TikTok | Instagram | X 🎶 Music: Inspiring Optimistic Upbeat Energetic Guitar Rhythm by Oleg Mazur via Chosic licensed under Creative Commons License. We continue our exploration of literary hotels with the OG: The Algonquin Hotel in New York City. Known as a magnet for writers of every ilk, it was the home of the most well-known literary circle in America, perhaps the world. Variously known as the Algonquin Round Table, the Vicious Circle, and the Board, they dabbled in word play and cut each other down every day at lunch, then went home to write American classics. Their legend lives on at the Algonquin, along with stellar service, celebrity-inspired cocktails, and an annual cat fashion show that gives Fashion Week a run for its money. ☕️ You can support Hotel History (and our caffeine addiction) here or on Patreon. 📰 Sign up for our free newsletter, The CHECK-IN. 📖 Join our book club here. 📚 Shop our bookshelves here. 🤳 Follow us: TikTok | Instagram | X 🎶 Music: Night in Venice by Kevin MacLeod via Chosic licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License
