I personally have this opinion in general, and I often feel hotels represent these liminal places. Hotels and resorts offer you a little break from reality, even if they're just a short distance from where you live. It doesn't have to be a faraway exotic trip. The change of settings, relaxing atmosphere, lounges and bars, people-watching, making new acquaintances, possible significant encounters or events happening and overall getting that breath of fresh air while stepping outside of your bubble for a bit through temporary escapism. It is often combined with reflections or new perspectives/realisations the main character had while being there. Any such suggestions?

You might like hotel du lac by Anita Brookner but it’s more internal. It’s about a woman in a swiss hotel suspended between old identity and an unmade future
