Queens of the Summer Hotel

Queens of the Summer Hotel is the tenth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann, released on November 5, 2021, on SuperEgo Records.

[3] Mann started work on Queens of the Summer Hotel in 2018, when she was commissioned to write songs for a stage adaptation of Susanna Kaysen's 1993 memoir Girl, Interrupted.

They’ll till the end of their days, say, ‘was there something I could have done?’"[7] The album title was inspired by an Anne Sexton poem.

[4] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine writing that "despite its contemplative nature, Queens of the Summer Hotel looks outward" and "the combination of the airiness of the arrangements and the warmth of Mann's performance is wistfully hopeful, turning Queens of the Summer Hotel into a record that soothes and consoles during moments of uncertainty".

[11] Kirsten Lambert from the Chicago Reader wrote, "Mann probes the depths of human experience, addressing some grim subject matter—including suicide, self-immolation, and incest."
