What is the importance of The Versailles in the novel, One Last Thing Before I Go?

The Versailles was once a hotel that was renovated into an apartment building. Although the Versailles rents its apartments to all types of people, it has gained a reputation for being the refuge of men on the verge of, or still reeling from, the consequences of a divorce. Silver has lived there since losing his home to foreclosure in the aftermath of his divorce more than seven years ago.
