1981 Peninsula Suite
“Where are we now? "Anne lowered her voice and whispered into Renly's ear..
Renly glanced at the rearview mirror. The driver was concentrating on driving, "It should be the Peninsula Hotel on the Bund." During the car chase just now, Renly noticed the Huangpu River outside the window. The scene on the Bund was also very familiar. If he hadn't guessed If I'm wrong, it should be the Peninsula Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai. When they came to promote "Gravity" last year, they held a press conference here - but isn't the real question "is his sense of direction worthy of trust?"”？
Anne let out a long breath, "So you know where we are? That's really great.”
Nolan also lowered his voice and whispered, "Why do we have to talk in a low voice?"？”
Annie cast a glance, "I don't know, I just felt a little nervous suddenly. You know, first there was an accident at the airport, and then all the staff were lost. We are now trapped in a van. , and this is my first time coming to this city. At the same time, I can’t understand a word of Chinese. In Hollywood movies, this means we should be nervous..”
“ah! "Nolan suddenly realized.
In fact, Anne and Nolan didn't mean to joke, they were just trying to use this method to relieve the tension, but the content of the conversation had an indescribable sense of joy, and the corners of Renly's mouth couldn't help but rise..
Indeed, where are they now?？
At this time, the vehicles in which all the staff were traveling had been thrown away. Amidst the car chases of fanatical fans, they were suddenly in a "isolated" situation. If the driver really wanted to kidnap, or was engaged in some crime. In terms of activities, the three of them are now completely defenseless and have a very high chance of success. So, do they really need "rescue"?？
The main reason is that everything I experienced tonight was too incredible. It seemed that no matter how wildly I thought about it, it would not be too exaggerated, and I couldn't help but open up my imagination..
Renly looked at the scene behind him through the rearview mirror. They had just entered the hotel's VIP parking channel - the driver's vehicle had already prepared a pass and passed the identity check of the security personnel at the door; and what followed was " "External vehicles" were all intercepted. Wait, isn't the parking garage the best place for kidnapping or criminal activities?？
However, at least the one in front of me is not.
Although it is an underground parking lot, the view is spacious and bright. The brightly lit off-white visual effect makes people completely forget that it is early in the morning. Neat and orderly top luxury cars are lined up in front of them, all of which are Rolls-Royce. Rice's heritage is even more evident. Four staff members in all white uniforms and white hats stand solemnly at the elevator entrance directly in front. Their tall and neat postures show the details of VIP etiquette very well. It has been in business for nearly a century. The clothes that never change have become a part of the hotel’s scenery..
If Renly remembers correctly, the current head of the Peninsula Group is from England.
Every detail reflects the nobility and elegance, and the rich heritage makes the air calm and steady. For investors, the classic culture is too conservative and traditional, it can even be said that it is not enterprising, but it has become the peninsula. One of the most impressive and important symbols of a hotel, especially in the context of increasingly fierce competition, many hotel groups have begun to keep pace with the times and catch up with the wave, but The Peninsula Hotel still adheres to certain traditions, even stubbornly They must be a little unreasonable, which also allowed them to win the hearts of countless old-school British aristocrats..
For example, the Queen’s designated hotel is the Peninsula.
Just an underground parking lot, you can vaguely feel the unique calmness and elegance, and even the emotions of Annie and Nolan gradually stabilized - they are also elites who have seen countless big scenes, just You can tell the difference from the atmosphere.
It has only been seven months since the last time he came to the Magic City to promote, but Renly's standard treatment has been upgraded several levels. The suites at the Peninsula Hotel are expensive. If it is the highest-level Peninsula suite, it is equivalent to the president. For a suite, the price per night can be as high as RMB 125,000 - and this does not include surcharges..
Now it depends on the level of suites arranged by the organizer for Renly and his party..
The driver calmly parked the car at the elevator entrance, and a staff member took the initiative to step forward, politely opened the car door, and made an inviting gesture with a smile, "Good evening, and welcome to the Bund Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai..”
“Huh, Renly didn't get lost this time." Anne smiled at Renly, and then Anne, who was sitting on the outermost side, took the lead to leave the carriage..
“Good evening, Ms. Hathaway.”
“Good evening, Mr. Nolan.”
“Good evening, Mr. Hall.”
After all three people got out of the car, Renly explained with a smile, "Due to some special reasons, our staff fell behind. When they arrive later, please inform them that the driver has a serious illness for safety reasons. Regarding the speeding situation, I have made a guarantee that the relevant fines will be borne by me. Please ensure that this matter is properly conveyed. In addition, he should receive additional rewards..”
The staff member in front of him did not ask too much about the ins and outs, but listened carefully. After Renly finished explaining, he immediately understood the meaning of "tip" and guessed Renly's attitude, "Excuse me, one hundred yuan. Is this correct?？”
“Make it tenfold." Renly said simply, and then took steps forward..
The four staff members immediately bowed their heads and backed away, making way for them. They respectfully sent Renly and his party into the elevator in a respectful and polite manner. Then two of them took the elevator together, while the other two stayed outside the elevator door, waiting. The elevator door closed, and then he turned around and went about his own business..
“Here, I formally welcome you to the Peninsula Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai. I am Edward and this is Charlie. We will serve as your private floor butlers and will serve you wholeheartedly during your stay in Shanghai." A smooth self-introduction , with unique high-level etiquette, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Just thirty seconds ago, they were performing "Speed of Life and Death" on the city streets; now they have entered a cool and warm space, experiencing the aristocratic life of "Gosford Manor". This sharp contrast makes the atmosphere a bit weird..
Anne looked at Nolan to the left and Renly to the right. She couldn't find a suitable way to express herself for a moment, "Excuse me, which area of the Magic City are we in now?"？”
Poof.
Nolan chuckled directly, "Are you serious? This is the question you are most curious about now.？”
“I have no idea! "Annie shrugged, "Honestly, I don't know what I'm most curious about right now. God, my only thought now is to take a bath and sleep for two hours. Two hours is enough..”
“Overall, we are on the west side of the Magic City, southwest of the central business district. From here we can walk to the oldest and most modern intersection of the city; if we need to take a bath, we can release the water later, about You can enjoy some relaxing time in thirty minutes." Edward replied solemnly, his tone still not changing much..
I feel a sense of joy inexplicably. Anne is obviously just looking for something to say.……
Anne looked up at Nolan, then at Renly, and finally Renly said, "Yes, this is British humor..”
Obviously, the private floor butler also came out of the British training system, so he speaks and behaves like this... British style.
As he spoke, the elevator had already reached its destination: the top floor..
“Welcome to the Peninsula Suite, would you like me to introduce you to the equipment and layout of the suite? "Edward and Charlie stood on the left and right sides respectively. Edward was slightly forward, introducing the guests with a smile, while Charlie was slightly behind to ensure that the details would not go wrong..
Sure enough, it’s the Peninsula Suite.！
This also means that this time Renly came to the Magic City to promote, the treatment has reached the top level, so the future room for improvement lies in the details of the experience. For example, Renly used the entire suite alone; another example For example, the class of suites arranged by Renly's entourage; for example, the many details that were customized after Renly moved in to match Renly's living habits. These are all things that can be further improved..
By the way, the two floor butlers, Edward is British and Charlie is Chinese. Obviously, the public relations team has also worked hard on the details..
However, even now, such treatment is rare. Even Anne and Nolan's eyes showed a little surprise - they had not been treated like this before in Hong Kong and Taipei, including London and Paris. Level, such a subtle difference can show the degree of pursuit of Renly in the Chinese market, even more than imagined..
The decoration and furnishings of the entire suite are closer to the Victorian style, retro and luxurious, traditional and generous. From wallpapers to carpets to window lattice and chandeliers, every detail shows the graceful and elegant style. The simplest detail is: out of sight. You can see the restaurant on the left, and all the sterling silver tableware placed on the dining table.
In terms of horizontal comparison, let alone Renly or Matthew's family, even Andre's family does not use sterling silver tableware for their daily meals. Firstly, it is too expensive, secondly, the etiquette is too cumbersome, and thirdly Maintenance is very troublesome. Only when entertaining guests - and they must be important guests - the combination of sterling silver tableware and Chinese/Chinese/porcelain will be put into use..
Such a style and atmosphere can indeed create a sense of oppression, just like entering a palace, where the movements of hands and feet and even the rhythm of breathing will become restricted..
Therefore, neither Anne nor Nolan spoke, and both turned their attention to Renly..
Renly could sense the curiosity and heat in their eyes, and couldn't help but laugh. He said to Edward, "You can introduce some environments to Anne and Chris, but I'm a little tired. Just ask Charlie to lead me to the bedroom.".”
