Hotel Bar

(The Madrid Remix)

The song is to remind those who have experienced, or inspire those who have not, of the joy of European rail travel with no itinerary. There is something exhilarating about showing up to a rail station, say Budapest, and looking up at the big departure board and deciding on the spot where you are going. “Oh look, there’s a train Warsaw in 20 minutes.” Just enough time to grab some bread, cheese and beer and hop on board before the train begins to ease out of the massive station.  During this uncertain adventure, your hotel provides a sanctuary of psychic warmth. It’s a home. And the hotel bar offers a chance to make connections and feel like the global citizen you are becoming. After a long day sliding down the rails, very little feels better than to settle into a seat at the bar with a local pilsner and a bowl of soup at the hotel bar.
