In this uproariously funny memoir Ludwig Bemelmans uncovers the fabulous world of the Hotel Splendide the luxury New York hotel where he worked as a waiter. With equal parts affection and barbed wit he records the everyday chaos that reigns behind the smooth facades of the gilded dining room and banquet halls. In hilarious detail Bemelmans sketches the hierarchy of hotel life and its strange and fascinating inhabitants: from the ruthlessly authoritarian matre dhtel Monsieur Victor to the kindly waiter Mespoulets to Frizl the homesick busboy. Illustrated with his own charming line drawings Bemelmans tales of a bygone era of extravagance are as charming as they are riotously entertaining.
