I will embrace the services a good hotel offers as if it were a way of life and it will be. I will take long showers. Stop in at the front desk for messages. Greet the doormen with a twenty. Take walks. Take saunas. Learn the name of the room-service manager. Establish a routine involving a cocktail, the balcony, and a bowl of olives. Tell the concierge to make you seven dinner reservations for seven nights. Tell him to surprise me. After I leave, I will go back a year later and they will remember my name. At a hotel, it is good to be known.
