May I Take Your Bags, Mr. Hemingway?

Ernest Hemingway loved to travel. Now other worldly travelers will have the opportunity to enjoy four-star Hemingway themed accommodations courtesy of Hemingway Hotels & Resorts.

In order to be certified as a Hemingway property, numerous guidelines must be met. Quoting from the official press release:

A property must be located in a destination that has a relationship with the great author and his literature, or offer the lifestyle opportunity for an adventure experience that those locales may suggest.

The architecture will express the spirit of the hotel's location and often reference the places where Hemingway lived and wrote.

In homage to Hemingway's passion for great food, the restaurants will serve authentic cuisine reflecting the local culture.

Bars will serve as the ultimate gathering places to enjoy Hemingway's favorite libations and the camaraderie of friends.

Enlightened activities will be offered day and night; from adventurous sports in the great outdoors to cultural events like book readings and tours.

The essence of Hemingway will be celebrated — a passion for life, intellectual curiosity, unwavering integrity and a respect for the natural world.

Guestrooms should meet a minimum 4-star criteria.

So, Hemingway aficionados, would you stay at a Hemingway themed hotel? If you answered yes, your room awaits at Hemingway Hotels & Resorts.

I just returned from Rapallo where the HOtel Riviera has a plaque noting that Hem wrote the Cat in the Rain while there. It was lovely to see the commemoration and recall that he and Ezra Pound (was it Pound? I need to check) spent time there.
