Book Club, Hotel
This September for our Book Club we are devouring Absolutely and Forever by bestselling author Rose Tremain. A short but electrifying novel about first love set in the swinging 1960s London.
Hotel
We know you love our pool chairs, but did you know they love you too? We are delighted to present Poolside Attraction – a mini romance that blurs the lines between reality and fantasy and demonstrates that while poolside romances do happen, they may not always follow the classic Hollywood narrative.
Our August Book Club novel, Water by bestselling author John Boyne, is a masterfully reflective story about one woman coming to terms with her past and finding a new path forward.
Food, Hotel

Our July Book Club novel Edenglassie tells two extraordinary Indigenous stories set five generations apart.

Our June Book Club follows the story of two women stuck in the same hotel room, a century apart. The Sitter by Queensland author Angela O’Keefe is inspired by the wife of Paul Cézanne, Marie-Hortense Fiquet, the familiar yet enigmatic subject of the French post-impressionist’s paintings.
Calile Culture, Hotel
From literature, theatre, dance and arts – to date, Calile Culture has explored the many facets of creative expression. This June, fashion will be added to the cultural consommé.

Our April Book Club novel is, in our opinion, by one of the most compelling modern Irish writers, Claire Keegan. The Times has identified Keegan as, “A genuine once-in-a-generation writer” and Hilary Mantel describes her storytelling mastery as, “Every word is the right word in the right place, and the effect is resonant and deeply […]
