Tito’s Political School is nicknamed for one of these places in a novel by Ivana Bodrožić (“bod-ro-jitch”). An author who called himself a “citizen” of these places wrote a 1924 novel about one in Łódź (“wooch”) and 64 pieces of interwar journalism collected in a book titled for their “years.” An aunt invites Christine, a girl who works in a post office, to one of these places in Switzerland in a novel by an author who inspired a film titled for one of these places with his “Mitteleuropa” memoir The World of Yesterday. The scarred veteran Dr. Otternschlag and the ballerina Grusinskaya are among the title “people at” one of these places in a Weimar-era novel by Vicki Baum that was adapted into a Pre-Code film. In a 1959 novel of “rubble literature,” one of these buildings called the Prince Heinrich is where Faehmel plays the title Billiards at Half-Past Nine. For 10 points, what kind of building titles a Stefan Zweig-inspired film about the Grand Budapest? ■END■
ANSWER: hotels [accept resorts; accept conference centers; accept hotel rooms; accept The Grand Budapest Hotel; accept Prince Heinrich Hotel or Hotel Prinz Heinrich; accept Grand Hotel or Menschen im Hotel; accept The Hotel Years; accept Hotel Savoy; accept The Hotel Tito or Hotel Zagorje; prompt on lodgings or rooms or suites; reject “motels”] (The second sentence is about Joseph Roth. Christine appears in The Post-Office Girl. Greta Garbo played Grusinskaya in the novel’s 1932 film adaptation, Grand Hotel. Heinrich Böll wrote Billiards at Half-Past Nine.)
