Significance of Hotel Denouement

Hotel Denouement is the setting of this novel. The hotel itself is a very large building organized like a library, following the same Dewey Decimal System. The hotel is owned by identical triplet brothers, Frank (who is good), Ernest (who is evil), and Dewey (who remains hidden in the shadows). The hotel has10 floors, organized by the Dewey Decimal system, from the basement (information and general works) to the rooftop salon. Other interesting floors include the Second Floor (dedicated to religion, housing a church, synagogue, mosque, temple, and shrine), the Fourth Floor (dedicated to languages and reserved for foreign guests). At the end of the novel, Sunny Baudelaire burns down the hotel to send a signal to V.F.D. saying that the meeting planned for Thursday is canceled.
