This is the question you might ask and is certainly the question I was pondering when I visited Professor Kenneth Morrison's talk "From Print to Documentary: Making War Hotels" at De Montfort University.
It was a well attended event in the Clephan Building. The first half of the event comprised a film screening and the second a talk.
The film was a fascinating watch.
A 'War Hotel' is no different from any other hotel around the world that it is near the front line. This is the places where journalists stay when reporting on conflict.
I wouldn't really recommend you going there yourself, just watch the TV documentary War Hotels for a taste of what it is like over there.
And if you get a chance to hear a talk by Professor Morrison, do go as he's a very engaging speaker with lots of interesting information to share.
