My friend, who, BTW, is Asian, was basically accosted by someone from security as he walked in the front door. He did in fact state that he was meeting me for lunch at the hotel - at which point he was challenged to provide my name, which he did. The response was that he needed to leave the premises - he insisted that I be called, which I was, and I met the security guard and my friend at the entry to the lobby. I pointed out to the security guard that there were others (presumably guests) in the lobby dressed similarly to my friend. He replied that guests were allowed to dress that way - and frankly, that set ME off. I immediately asked him for his supervisor, a request which he blew off. At which point, I called the Shangri-La and inquired if they had vacancies, which they did (The Lebua would have been my next call had they not). I then inquired at the front desk if this sort of treatment was their policy, and I was told that it was, and that their security guard had acted properly. I then proceeded to check out of the hotel, and I will never darken their door again.
