Thanks for your input.

oshelef, being able to press on Tuesday night for Wednesday depends on the hotel. Some completely outsource the service and thus there isn't anyone at night. High service hotels like the Mandarin will do it any time day or night -- I was working on a deal and went to Paris for lunch last fall to open up the possibility of a deal. Things went well and we stayed for a week. Because I was only going for lunch, the Mandarin cleaned my shirt and either cleaned or pressed my suit every night. But on Tuesday, I was staying at a corporate conference center that didn't seem to offer any such option. I doubt you'd find overnight at a Hilton Garden Inn, for example, or similar hotels.

So, London Elite and oshelef, this is exactly where I need help. How do you get to two suits? If you can't get a suit pressed for two days, what do you do for day 3? Just steam in the bathroom one of the suits you have worn? That doesn't usually do enough after I've worn a suit for a full day.

MellonC, that looks excellent, if I unzip it, is there a hook for the FA to hang in the closet?
