Hotel rooms inhabit a separate moral universe.

All good hotels tend to lead people to do things they wouldn't necessarily do at home.

The worst hotels are any with a bad bed. I stayed in a hotel where they left cards telling me my enjoyment was of paramount importance. I should have written, 'Nice rooms, crap beds.'

Truthfully, I despise hotels. I've had such better experiences staying at people's houses and guesthouses; it's so much more comfortable and homey.

My new hotels will play a leading role in promoting world peace.

Indian hotels are doing well globally because they understand hospitality.

For me, writing about hotels is like writing about being in a parallel universe. The sense of voyeurism, and the sense of removedness, and there are all these people silently above you and next to you.

I think it's fair to say more adultery goes on in hotels than any other place in the world.

I want people to be transported by the hotel. I'm thinking, What is it that would make people be delighted and amazed?

No matter how nice a hotel is, it's not home.
