Hotel Bradbury (*****)
Location: Mars somewhere touristy above the future waterline, perhaps near the ski slopes of Olympus Mons
An exceptionally tasteful, recently opened hotel designed primarily to cater to 'Danes. Decor includes replicas and originals of some rare sci-fi art and artifacts from the Forrest J. Ackerman collection. The rooms are spacious and tasteful, with the expected amenities, with rates from the "ya gotta have SOMETHIN'!" to "Thank you, Mister Trump, we'll feed a village in southeast Asia for a year with this." An interesting tidbit is that room 451 contains an extensive library with signed editions of several authors. Of note to Potterites is the full collection of Signed UK First Editions of the Harry Potter books, signed in loco by Rowling herself. Sadly, this room is heavily booked [OUCH! The PUN! It BUUURNS! Ack! I did it again!] up to two years in advance, with a formidable security deposit. Unlike many Western hotels, the Bradbury DOES have a 13th floor, including the Rod Serling, Stephen King, and HP Lovecraft suites.
The rest of the 2010 rooms are fairly typical "high class 'Dane hotel."
Cafe Lankhmar (*****)
Located within the Hotel Bradbury
Full service hotel restaurant, providing typical "room service" as well as the pseudo-medieval themed dishes for the restaurant itself. Of particular note, the sommelier stocks several excellent Martian Red wines as well as the expected "Solar System's Finest beverages."
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
