Spoiling Yourself: Concierge Level at Hotels |
|
| Concierge Level -- the very phrase conjures up an
image of your own personal hotel staff member, catering to your every
request, no matter what time of night. Is it worth it? The answer depends on the particular hotel's service at concierge level and your own personal needs. Here's a rundown of what you can expect. What is Concierge Level? Generally, a hotel that offers concierge level rooms has an entire floor (or a section of a floor) which receives extra-special service. This might include premium quality sheets and pillows, a reception area with complimentary food and drinks, and of course, a special concierge desk to help you with requests. What does it cost? The cost varies widely per hotel, but you can expect to pay about 50% above standard rack rates for a room at concierge level. What does it include? Hotels vary in the amenities available, so check with them before booking your room. For example, Doubletree offers a concierge lounge with breakfast, beverages and hors d'oeuvres. In the rooms, all the extras, such as a blowdryer, coffee maker, ironing board, complimentary robes and newspaper, are included.
