I hope that everyone can see my reply...As I said before. I won't be asking for these things. Mea Culpa. I'm new to travel for business and I'm excited about it. The last time I traveled for business was in 2008 and I only had the chance to twice.

Have the cab make a stop at a gas station on your way to your hotel for the juice. The pillows are OK to ask for but the others you should really handle yourself.

Avoid being a nuisance guest and the staff will go a long way to help you. When you become an annoyance, all the status in the world won't matter.

This. Most hotel account/reservations sites will allow you to request a few things in advance. I believe Hilton does this. Always typical things like room preference (high/low floor, away from elevators/ice machine), extra pillows/blankets, hypoallergenic pillows, etc., sometimes drinks/snacks.

Note that many hotels, including Hiltons, have a little area right by reception where they stock beverages, snacks, cough drops, gum, etc. Call ahead to the hotel and see if they have NOS or some other energy drink. Chances are they will (I see a lot of Red Bull and Monster, many hotels also have 5 hour energy) and you can pick up a couple cans upon check-in/-out.

Also, give the new guy a break. I know you're all super-wise and experienced and know practically everything, but no need to come off as jerks.

I think you'll find that this sort of thing falls into the 'less is more' or 'if you need to ask...' category.

I travel a lot and spend, on average, three nights a week in hotels. I'm typically on four-six flights a week (i.e. pretty much every day of the week). I can't remember the last time I used a concierge. When I do, it's for something that usually a concierge is good at, like getting my opera tickets in a city I'm unfamiliar with at last minute (thank you to the concierge at the Principe di Savoia for sorting me out at La Scala in the spring). If you ask them to do stupid things like set your room temperature to 77 degree you just come off as a 'punter' who is exercising some unwarranted DYKWIA, especially if it's at a Hilton (many of which won't have a dedicated concierge).

My suggestion is to play it cool, and be low key. If you stay at a specific hotel regularly they will get to know you and do 'special' things for you without you needing to ask for them. They'll anticipate your needs/wishes. Just give it time. Your plan in the OP is not cool.

Recommended concierge requests for your room
 

Welcome to FT Darkaxum. We sense your excitement at getting the opportunity to travel for business and are happy you have found FT.

Consider the advice we are giving as being done with love. Sort of big brother helping you not look like a doofus on day one. Much better to come off as suave which means being low key about requests which aren't critical.

Others have given you suggestions about obtaining energy drinks. Remember to check your company's travel policy - not all will reimburse for room service inflated cost or tips to concierge.

As you are meeting with business colleagues the next morning, perhaps you know one of them well enough to ask about a store selling NOS near the hotel or office?

You forgot the following:

1. Nude pictures of Bea Arthur
2. A football helmet full of cottage cheese

If you are new to business travel and drink NOS, I'm guessing you're waaaaaay too young to get the above reference.

Until you reach top level status and hold it for a few years, you don't have the right to request anything.

You can get anything if you are willing to pay the price for it.

Edit: Work travel isn't fun for very long btw.

I don't know if I'd go that far. After 20 years of fairly heavy travel, I've never encountered anything worse than commuting back and forth to an office every day and sitting in a cube.

...I'm fragile.

I got the quote.Thanks for the laughs.

New to travel, I drink NOS because it is an easily obtainable source of caffeine+L-Theanine. Hate the sugar in it though.

Welcome to road warrior world:). Hope you love your job!
:)

You can just buy powdered L-Theanine and mix it with whatever you want (or get it in capsules).

what the hell is NOS?

A toxic concoction consisting mainly of sugar, colourings, flavourings and a generous helping of caffeine/gaurana and other legal stimulants.

I've never heard of NOS, but for a short spell years ago I drank Hugo Yunker.

I tried Monster Energy after seeing the Ken Block videos and never looked back. Actually tastes pretty nice.
