The Grand Budapest Hotel in space, Floating Hotel is a hopeful story of misfits, rebels and found family, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard.
Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. Year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the milky way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury - and a magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as:
Why are there love poems in the lobby intray?
How many Imperial spies are currently on board?
What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver's conference?
And perhaps most pertinently - who is driving the ship?
At the centre of these mysteries stands Carl, one time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It's the love of his life and the only place he's ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl's comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

PRAISE FOR GRACE CURTISA beautiful novel, magnificently told. Floating Hotel is a story of love, gentle rebellion and mystery pulled through a ragtag bunch of outstanding and dangerous misfits who have all found their way to the stars. Curtis is a master of turning the screw of the story tighter with each page as she inexorably takes us through the lives of the characters to the centre of political intrigue and danger. You will turn every page hoping for one hundred more - Hannah Kaner, Sunday Times bestselling author of GODKILLERCurtis has done it again-delivering a high stakes slice of life novel that's bleeding with heart. The underbelly of the Abeona hotel may be rotting with secrets, but like the guests, you'll be too dazzled by its effortless charm to notice. If you read one sci-fi novel this year, make it this one - Kate Dylan, author of MindbreakerCurtis oozes charm and humour - TAMSYN MUIR, author of GIDEON THE NINTHAn absolute marvel to behold! - Beth Revis, NY Times bestselling author of Across the Universe and Star Wars: The Princess and the ScoundrelA joy to read.

It is both a heartbreak and a hug - Claire North, award-winning author of The Sudden Appearance of HopeWhen I'm rich I'm booking a tour on the Grand Abeona Hotel.
