Hotel Royale was a work of literature by Todd Matthews.
In the year 2037, a copy of Hotel Royale was in the ship's stores on the NASA spacecraft ESS Charybdis. Colonel Stephen Richey read it during the mission to the Theta 116 system, finding it to be badly written. (Star Trek Magazine Issue 162: "Blast Off!")
After the Charybdis arrived at Theta 116 VIII, an alien intelligence inadvertently killed all the crew members except for Richey. The alien, apparently out of a sense of guilt, created a physical version of the setting and characters from Hotel Royale in Richey could live out his life, apparently believing that it was an accurate representation of the world from which he came.
In 2365, an away team from the USS Enterprise-D discovered the Hotel Royale environment and encountered the characters therein. (TNG episode: "The Royale")
