"The switchboard operator knows you name, the people at the desk say welcome back when you come through the door, and they try to give you your favorite room if you've stayed there a long time, and its fine to have dinner in the dining room if you're there along. My favorite is the Hotel Bel Air because that's where I spent my honeymoon....We all know small hotels are sexy because the are small and intimate."
