After Lester finds his wife in the arms of another man, he checks into This Hotel—where a shape-shifting bellhop escorts him on a whirlwind tour of long corridors and provocative rooms inhabited by the tenants of Lester’s subconscious. With a cast of slinky and colourful characters, This Hotel is hilarious, clever, and sexy—a moving journey to the centre of everyman.
