Question 7

I have a special request, can you help?

Accepted Answer

And how! We've seen it all. Here are just a few special requests we've fulfilled over the years:
We're traveling with another couple but we DO NOT want our room to be next to theirs. You understand.
This reservation is a surprise gift for my daughter, can I pay for it in advance?
What kind of headboard does the bed have? I plan on using handcuffs and I need something to attach them to.
We're a family of 2 adults, 4 kids, and 1 mother-in-law. Is there a hotel room that can fit us all?
Can you ask the hotel to put a picture of a llama on the bedside table? High floor, away from the elevator (but not too far), hypoallergenic pillows, early check-in, and late check-out. Please!
I'm allergic to perfume, can you make sure the hotel doesn't use any scented products in my room? I also hate the color red.

Question 8

Is Tablet the MICHELIN Guide for hotels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, literally. People have always said that Tablet is like the MICHELIN Guide, but for hotels. Now we can officially say the same thing. In 2018, Tablet became part of Michelin, the original travel curators whose iconic guides have led the way to adventure for 120 years. The MICHELIN Guide is a benchmark in gastronomy. Tablet sets the same standards for hotels.
