Sweet Dreams

We’re currently trialling some new mattresses in the hotel and I was wondering what makes a good bed? Personally I’ve never slept better than I do now under my 1000 thread count sheets, down doona and fluffy pillows. I love crawling into a hotel bed with crisp sheets and a firm mattress. At Radisson Plaza Hotel Sydney most of our regular guests know that we also offer a pillow menu to make your sleep even more comfortable.

A to Z

There was a rather humorous article last week in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Living, a simple A-Z guide of restaurant etiquette. This rather quirky alphabet covered topics of restaurant service, menu, décor, ambiance and design. Reading this article got me thinking, exactly what does make a ‘good restaurant experience’ for one and not for someone else? I had lunch at a fairly prominent restaurant in the city last week and in summary, I found some of the ambiance lovely, the décor cheap, the noise unbearable, the service proficient but not good (I don’t like having five different waiters over one course) and the food amazing. Make of that summary what you will, but, I enjoyed the food so much that if my schedule had permitted I would have gone back the following day. Ultimately, isn’t that what a restaurant wants, clientele to return? Therefore, the driving factor for me is the food, while I prefer every other facet to be good, I’m not going to return just for the service or just because I liked the décor. What do you think?
