A Memo from Millie

TO: Best Western Hotel/Motel Group.

FROM: Millie.

SUBJECT: Your Rooms.

OK, here's the go guys - times are tough & I'm sure you're feeling the fiscal pinch as much as everyone else, but I've got an idea that will turn your business around pronto. Hire uber-cool Italian architect Michele Bonan to redesign all your rooms & you'll have those Chevvies swinging off the highway & into your establishments as quick as lightening. Take a leaf out of the Kafri family's book who did just that & commissioned Michele to design the fit-out of their 2 new Hotels, the JK Place boutique hotels in Florence & Capri. Granted neither of these stunning palazzos have oil-stained parking bays outside each room, but I'm sure Michele can even do something amazing with those. Oh, & those hatches in the wall for the tacky breakfast tray to be noisily slid through..... they'll have to go - not cool boys.

So, what do you say, the quicker Michele puts his designers pen to paper the better - after all you've got 303,888 rooms in 4200 hotel/motels located in 80 countries, so he's going to be 'As busy as a Gaza bricklayer!'
