Summary/Abstract: Hotel World is a very rich novel, which reveals to the readers complex aspects connected to time, space, language, relationships, discourse. The aspect on which we intend to focus – the space of the hotel as a reflective construct of postmodernity – is announced from the very title and it delineates a specific type of reading through the motif introduced in it. Thus, the reader is plunged into the depths of the novel (as the main character plunges through the hotel shaft) and he is taken on a journey in which he discovers numerous interpretations and implications of space and spatiality.
