Be hospitable

Do you like being social, hospitable and are usually the one in charge?

There is a lot of hard work in managing a busy metropolitan hotel, with early mornings and late nights. But there are also the perks like getting to be a part of a lively hotel scene (good food and wine is never that far away) and appealing salary.

Not to mention the myriad things that happen in hotels: John and Yoko's Bed-In for Peace happened at the Hilton in Amsterdam, Michael Jackson dangled a baby from the Adlon Hotel in Berlin, there's the mythical Chelsea Hotel in New York City that was home to many an eccentric, adventurous, egotistical and creative type.
