MEME Alert: The #1 Ranked Hotel in Republic of Zubrowka

I much liked Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. (What a cast! with Bill Murray, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, Owen Wilson, and Jeff Goldblum in supporting roles.)

So, too, apparently did a number of TripAdvisor reviewers. (HT: Jenny F.)

For an interwar period property, I like complaints such as “No free wifi.”

TripAdvisor warns that the hotel is unbookable:

Without the warning this could have become TripAdvisor’s Tuscan Whole Milk.

One word of caution — milk, even when frozen into a baseball-bat shape, is nigh worthless as a baseball bat, merely shattering into cloudy fragments at the first strike of a baseball.

  1. Great movie! Saw it in a classic Hollywood theater, which made it all the better.

  2. Great movie . . . what it must have been travel in the ‘old days’. . .

    There is a place like this in the US, the Grand Hotel in Jerome, AZ . . . vacant fir over 40 years, now open, supposedly haunted. On the top of a hill, but no tram though . . . Jerome, AZ is a cool, funky old mining toepwn to visit if you’re near Sedona, AZ . . . check out the photo on the website, some similarity, eh?
