Claridge's Lets You Take a Load Off in The Lift

November 2, 2010 at 4:55 PM | by | Comments (2)

After we downed some tea with Katy Perry at The Claridge's in London the other month, we headed up to check out the Diane Von Furstenberg Suite and we were delighted to see this in the lift--not only an attendant but a sofa! Naturally, we thought it was cute and unique so we snapped a photo and Twittered about it.

But later on in our travels to Monte Carlo, we spied little benches in the lifts at both the Hermitage Hotel and the Monte Carlo Bay Resort, leading us to believe maybe it's more of a European thing. Although, the three other hotels we popped into in London did not have them, nor did our hotel in Paris.

Nevertheless, little benches in the lifts will not make or break a hotel stay (are you that lazy you need to sit down for an elevator ride?) but you know how fond we are of those little touches found in hotels.

It looks like the attendant was just as delighted to see you - what a happy chappie!

The elevator to the rooftop bar, Whiskey Blue, is huge.  Maybe twelve feet square.  It has a sofa, and it could easily fit a full-size bed and a nightstand.
