 Great Travels

First-class Hotels: First-class hotels are luxurious or near-luxurious, with well-trained staffs and exceptional food and beverage facilities. First-class hotels are also called executive-class or superior hotels and usually have luxury suites, two or more dining rooms, and a cocktail lounge.
GENOA: Aside from the Savoy-Majestic, mentioned earlier as a favorite of mine, other first-class hotels are the Bristol e Palazzo, in the very center of downtown; and the new Corvetto Plaza, on the Piazza Corvetto, a hub of traffic. The Londra e Continentale is a place of second class on Piazza Acquaverde, beside the Savoy-Majestic. MILAN: First-class hotels include the Regina e Metropole, close to the cathedral; the Ambasciatori; the Manin; the Amedei; and the Corso Splendido. Second-class: Atlantico; Lux; Bristol.
COAT HANGERS—don't laugh—are among the mightiest of minutiae, the most tremendous of travel trivia. In Europe, only the hotels of grand luxe, speaking generally, supply enough of them, of a kind you can use. Very often in first-class hotels you will find three or four for the use of two persons and in second-class hotels you may find only one or two. Of course, the chambermaid will undertake to try to dig up a few more, if you make your request to her in the universal gratuity language, but this involves bother and delay. After you have laid out your clothes a few nights on the backs of chairs, on the tops of your suitcases and so on, you will recognize the dearth of coat hangers as a nuisance to be reckoned with. Take along a few plastic ones. They weigh nearly nothing and are not too awkward to pack.
