While we are sure golden-boy Michael Phelps is safely ensconced in the Olympic village somewhere, far, far, far away from any distractions that could derail his eight golden medals quest, the International Olympic Committee is kicking it at the Raffles Beijing Hotel.
And they aren't shy about letting you know that either. In fact, there's a press release on this which says that Raffles recruited the best of its employees from around the world to serve at the hotel during the Olympics:
In preparation, Raffles Beijing, which has 100% occupancy during the Olympics, has undergone more than 1,500 hours of Pre-Olympic preparation training since March 2008.
Interestingly enough, one of our precious readers hit up the Raffles Beijing last summer and found it to be beautiful although with a lacking concierge service.
Looks like Raffles knew they had some work in that department. The hotel added a new concierge desk as well as personal butlers to attend to all the guest needs. Um...yeah we'd like to stay here now. We would even cough up the $300+ room rate for that experience.
