A swim with fish (pets)
At the company Leviticus Lifestyle, a couple started requesting some very odd things for their children, as the representative of the high-end concierge of the company explained.
They wanted the staff to fill their bathtub every single morning and add to it the pet fish of the kids. In addition to that, they wanted them to hand-wash and air-dry their clothes daily… as if adding the goldfish to the tub was not weird enough.
Is this the Garden of Eden?
At The Four Seasons Tended Camp in Thailand, Travel + leisure told us the story of a guest who wanted a photograph of his children with a snake in order to remember their stay.
The hotel’s employees didn’t disappoint and did actually bring a 12-foot python from a village that was nearby. The snake was large enough for the kids to lie down on and take snuggly pictures with!
Disco naps!
In New York, the director of guest relations at Pierre Hotel, Sanela Mrkulic told us about the time a VIP family who wanted to change the Tata Presidential Suite to something else for the 18th birthday of their son. They actually requested to transform it into a 70s-themed disco.
The engineering team started removing all the furniture, brought in a dance floor, used tons of silver oil, hung a few disco balls, and voila! The party was a success and they asked all the staff to dance with them.
Serious monkey business
In Miami’s South Beach, a guest in a luxurious hotel requested a professionally trained monkey that is camera ready… he was serious! Apparently, the professional monkey was needed for a commercial shoot. The original monkey bowed out the last minute and left a wide-open casting hole waiting for the concierge to help them fill it.
