Any special request, even fairly simple would be quite time consuming for a kitchen purely because they haven't prepped for that particular meal. They are obviously not going to do this for every guest, so what level of guest would most luxury hotels consider going the extra mile for ?
Even Hiltons, and Ws and Marriotts do special meal requests for room service, it's really such a fundamental thing, not limited to luxury hotels. I'm talking different vegetable for the entree, special type of pasta on request or their fish or meats prepared a different way. Not talking a fish they don't have in the kitchen etc. That's where luxury hotels would shine regarding your question. Then it's always about how much you're willing to pay. Although the $25 for a bread basket another poster mentioned seems a bit disgusting (taking advantage disgusting).
