The Peninsula Hotel appears repeatedly in the book’s index, marking it as a location referenced at several points in the narrative. The available passages do not describe what happened there, so its role is best understood through that documented recurrence rather than through an inferred scene or association.

Indexed References

The index lists the Peninsula Hotel on pages 32, 39, 40, 111, 157, and 176. Those separate page references establish that the location recurs across the book, but do not, on their own, specify whether each mention concerns a meeting, an event, or a passing reference.

Distinction from the Later Gathering

The book also recounts a gathering of women who had spoken publicly about harassment or assault. That interview took place in Gwyneth Paltrow’s house, whose rooms and long dining table shape the description of the gathering; the account does not identify that setting as the Peninsula Hotel. Keeping the locations distinct matters: the gathering’s details cannot be used to fill in the events behind the hotel’s separate index references.

Narrative Significance

The hotel’s documented significance here is its recurrence, not a fully described episode. The index makes the name traceable across the narrative, while the available scene passages give no basis for assigning it a particular encounter, participant, or consequence.
