Could you name some names? Just curious...I have never encountered this anywhere as HHD...thinking Conrad HKG, Conrad BKK, Palmer House, Hilton Osaka, Hilton Berlin, these types of properties, have never been asked/offered to do this.

Yeah, most domestic ELs don't even have staff in them outside of food service hours.
