Okay, this is the funniest (sorry it's at your expense, CE!) thing I've read on FT this month. Thanks for the laffs.
That said, one of the things I most detest about these aged hotels is that miserable CENTRALLY CONTROLLED CLIMATE CONTROL business. It never works out well for anyone and I'm either frozen or roasting. Absolutely ridiculous that after lo these many years of running that hotel there is no better solution.
To have to request 4 heaters is maddening. You haven't indicated, but one guesses that the hotel management might see fit to make a significant gesture here?
Keep us posted. In the meanwhile, keep warm!
