One of my pet peeves is how hotels handle financial difficulties by eliminating areas that make them unique (in this case the club lounge) IMO this just helps them create their own fate. Have seen it over and over again. Many a discussion I have had with GM's on how to manage expenses without wholesale cuts. They sometimes forget they are in the hospitality business. In this case Davos has just been taken off my radar
