"My these large columns remind me of the ones in the Delano, Miami."

"Why I could have sworn I was in the Morgans, New York, what with that big revolving door."

"So very Schrager, this ability to be seen or not seen in a public place."

"Ah, I see he's brought the Agua spa products from the Delano to the rooms in St Martin's Lane and Sanderson."

"Ah, I see a lot of red/blue/neon yellow, I must be in the Royalton/ Paramount/St Martin's Lane hotel."

"Goodness, don't the cabinet curtains in St Martin's Lane remind you of the first class compartments in Concorde?" (They should, they were modelled on them)

"So what's with the net curtains?"

"What do you mean do I want to buy that? I was trying to nick it."

"Where's the Teasmaid?"
