Room service? Send up a larger room.

I have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.

The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

One of the things I love most about being at home is that I’m comfortable there. And since we are the home of Christ, we need to make sure He’s comfortable in us.

Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time – it’s very routine. I’m not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it’s cool; it’s good for me.

Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.

There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.

In the course of a marriage, one accommodates the other.

I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament.

Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.

This is an elegant hotel! Room service has an unlisted number.

Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.

House guests should be regarded as perishables: Leave them out too long and they go bad.

There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern… No, Sir; there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.

The funny thing is people won’t let me pay for things. I’ll be in a restaurant and the manager will say, ‚Oh no, it’s on the house.‘

Hostesses who entertain much must make up their parties as ministers make up their cabinets, on grounds other than personal liking.

Well, they’re Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn’t dream of interrupting you at golf.

Tell them to send everything that can fly.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It’s our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better.

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world.
