a smaller hotel with guest only seating areas is going to be more private than a fee-based club in a possibly large hotel. note im using "smaller" to emphasize the comparison, NOT only referring to tiny hotels where one could argue from the standpoint of less anonymity.
but then i recognize im not addressing F&B (arguable to a certain degree) because while luxury is order anything served anywhere, thats not really that standard. as you say "theoretical" from the standpoint of standardization.
