The front desk was AMAZINGGGG --- Anna, Scott, Jhasun, Morgan and Sam have been so wonderful, informative and personable!!! Each staff person I've encountered has been really kind and it feels very genuine ---- that kind of care and warmth is why I have chosen Hotel deLuxe in the past and why I will continue to do so. The aesthetic and comfort of the room is so pitch perfect. The hotel itself is so elegant and lovely --- I love art deco and it’s done so gorgeously!! What would be super exciting is if the hotel could update the old Hollywood glamour motif to provide an engagement with guests about perspective and representation in the history of film: for example, once you step out of the elevator, updating the summary of the stills throughout each floor to have an interface that allows guests to learn more and to engage in critical analysis. Which lives are represented in film? Which are not? How are representations distorted based on identity and the socio-political forces of the time? How do those narratives and representations impact our notions of that era and the nostalgic mythology that is formed and referenced collectively? On my floor, there was one still of Sydney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge in “Porgy and Bess” and then the rest was a lottttt of whiteness --- it would be wonderful if there was greater representation and a critical lens that guests could participate in. Ultimately, I’m excited to see how the hotel evolves and am quite grateful for the fantastic hospitality that Hotel deLuxe staff consistently provides!!! :)
