Description: The hotel was old, run-down. But to Swiss-born Hugues Martin, a young, ambitious hotelier trained in the most illustrious European traditions, it is a rough diamond, tucked away on a quiet, perfectly situated Manhattan street. After begging and borrowing every penny he can scrape together, Hugues purchases the building&#x2014;and transforms it into one of the world&#x2019;s finest luxury hotels. Under Hugues&#x2019;s tireless, exacting supervision, the Hotel Vendôme is soon renowned for its elegance, its efficiency, its unparalleled service and discretion&#x2014;the ideal New York refuge for the rich and famous, as well as a perfect home for Hugues&#x2019;s beautiful young wife and their daughter. But when his wife runs off with a notorious rock star, Hugues is suddenly a single parent to four-year-old Heloise&#x2014;who will grow up happily regardless, amid a fascinating milieu of celebrities, socialites, politicians, world travelers, and the countless hotel employees who all adore her. As the years pass, Hugues and the hotel are the center of Heloise&#x2019;s life, a universe of unexpected mysteries and pleasures, crises and celebrations that make every day magical.

New challenges mark her way: an unexpected romance for Hugues and her own journey to hotel school in Switzerland. The lessons she has learned at her father&#x2019;s side, in their exciting upstairs/downstairs world, will carry her through it all, as they illuminate a story no reader will forget. Welcome to the Hotel Vendôme.
