What few people know today is that Ian Fleming wrote all 14 James Bond books during his two-month winter stay in Jamaica. It was in 1946 that he bought the large tract of land on the Jamaican coast where he would build a bungalow, which he named Goldeneye following a wartime operation in which he himself took part.
So this place can justifiably be said to have been one of the biggest contributors to Ian Fleming’s creative flow as a writer. You can read more about Ian Fleming and his writing habits while he was there.

Sure, the price may seem steep, but sometimes you need a change of scenery. This is evidenced by the large number of famous writers’ hotels.

It was after the success of his novel Lolita that he would settle in the hotel for the rest of his life.
Other authors who have produced masterpieces during hotel stays include Ernest Hemingway, Agatha Christie and Stephen King. Mark Twain was another person who enjoyed working away from home in new and varied environments.
