Luxury hotels hide many secrets for ordinary people. But a former palace concierge lifted the veil on the wildest requests of the ultra rich … and it’s completely crazy.
As we know, the ultra rich are not always reasonable … This former luxury hotel concierge, who saw the wildest requests behind the golden doors of the palaces, confirms it. Behind his impeccable costume, he attends a real parade of extraordinary whims every day, where excess is the norm, and where nothing – really nothing – seems impossible.
For his show LegendGuillaume Pley collected the secrets of a former concierge who worked for luxury hotels. His job, which consists in taking care of the customer stay, also involves meeting sometimes completely extravagant requirements. “”Sometimes you say to yourself: ‘Here, if I had money, I would like to make this big pleasure’ ‘“, He said. Among the wildest requests he had to face, the former concierge remembers one in particular, both surreal and memorable on the part of a client probably multimillionaire.
“”Once, we have a client who asked us for a lot of different animals, including a peacock albinos. “Intrigued, the presenter then asked him:”What is the Albinos peacock?“To which the guest replied, hilarious:”So that he is there.“A Caprice of Rich who says a lot about the absurdity of certain requests from wealthy customers who have lost reason and common sense.
The former concierge also told how he had orchestrated an extraordinary marriage proposal, worthy of a Hollywood film. “”He asked us to rent a barge, to decorate it, all that. You put flowers everywhere, you do something beautiful“, he remembered. But it was only the beginning: once the barge arrived in front of the Eiffel Tower, the long-awaited message appeared in large:”Do you want to marry me?“Or rather, in its international version:”Will You Marry Me?“A spectacular staging … for an unexpected response. The companion of this customer unfortunately said no … a slap at several million euros.
