Odd hotel guest requests
High-ranked hotels often come with pretentious guests who, in general, have demands regarding they're stay. And when these demands are so odd that they stick with employees for years to come, then hotel-client confidentiality deserves to be breeched so that we can all wonder at the strangeness of such requests:
1. Michael Romei, a new York hotel concierge, received a bizzarre request from an Australian couple. The two wanted themselves represented as real-life-size statues of chocolate for their wedding.
After several months of work, the chefs, who had only a picture of the two to work with, fulfilled the Aussie couple's odd request.
2. An Arizona hotel concierge was, one day, approached by a guest who was interested in buying two camels. After searching Arizona high and low, the hotel employee located a camel dealer 35 minutes from the hotel. Unfortunately, the guest did not seal the deal as the camel was 'missing a hump.'
3. A North-Carolina hotel hit trouble after a guest demanded that a unicorn was to be waiting in his room, upon his arrival.
Not wanting to dissapoint the pretentious guest, the hotel staff bought a toy unicorn and placed it in the room alongside a note that wrote:
'Beloved Guest,
We saw your request for a unicorn. Unfortunately this is the wrong season. Due to their migratory habits, unicorns currently inhabit the second star to the right of twilight.
They are expected to return to Asheville sometime this June.
In the meantime (as Asheville is known among many circles as the Unicorn Capital of the South), we hope that you can accept this very accurate artist rendition of our native fauna.
If this is unacceptable, we do profusely apologize. As you are not the first guest to express interest in our local wildlife, we have planned a meeting with the head unicorn, Lord Mangus Biffy of the Rainbows on perhaps adjusting his peoples/horses/mythical creatures move to somewhere outside the universe to better align with our guest wishes.
Our sincerest apologies,
The Society of Proper and Right Unicorn Caretaking.'
4. The last odd request by hotel guest come from a Fortune 500 company that requested a Vegas hotel to organize them a 'Hangover'-themed party.
Hotel staff went over their heads, getting them the same suite used in the movie where they placed a 250-pounds guy in a baby-suit, two other guys in tiger costumes, a Mike Tyson look-alike, people in togas plus Djs and bartenders.
