Hotel Trianon
The Hotel Trianon is a fictional hotel used as the principal setting of the novel The Comedians, a novel written by Graham Greene in 1966. It is largely based on the real-life Hotel Oloffson, where Greene frequently stayed as a guest in the 1950s.
The hotel as described in the novel as a gingerbread Victorian mansion surrounded by lush tropical gardens located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; it is falling into disrepair due to the poor financial circumstances of the owner. These circumstances are the result of diminished tourism during the latter years of the François Duvalier dictatorship.
