Attending party political conferences is an expensive business. Simply purchasing a charity rate visitor pass, spending a night or two in a budget hotel and getting an advance rail ticket will cost hundreds of pounds. If you want organise a fringe meeting or book at exhibition stall it will set you back thousands.

I’ve ruined a lot of hotel towels. I did a shoot in San Francisco and stayed at the Mandarin Oriental. I must have ruined thousands of dollars worth of towels. I dye my hair once a week. The dye is not temporary. It stains everything. It stains tiles, that’s how powerful it is.

When I traveled professionally in Europe, I would inevitably spend a weekend at the Hotel Costes around the corner from the Place Vendome in Paris.

My mum has an MBE and the Queen actually came to my mum and dad‘s hotel for lunch with the Prince back in the 1980s.
27
28
I don’t go on set with an army of people because the most expensive elements of a movie production are the plane tickets, the hotel rooms, food and gasoline. If you’re willing to discover new colleagues in the place that you are, you can save a ton of money.

It was Elvis who really got me hooked on beat music. When I heard ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ I thought, this is it.

Never relinquish clothing to a hotel valet without first specifically telling him that you want it back.
36
It’s been a long road for me coming from NXT. I’ve been with NXT for almost four years, and just getting to WWE, and now being able to travel with them, I kind of have to make new friends and get hotel rooms and travel in different cities every single night. It’s very different, but it’s so much fun.

For the live shows, I’m just getting my song together. I go back to my hotel room and I just listen to my song over and over again, figure out how to make it different and put my little Pia spin on it.

The readers are the ones who let us live our dreams. I try to write books which are really compelling – that you’d take on vacation and rather than going out, you’d read in your hotel room because you had to find out what happened. Hopefully that’s what readers are responding to.
43
It was like I was in a tunnel. Not only the tunnel under the hotel but the whole circuit was a tunnel. I was just going and going, more and more and more and more. I was way over the limit but still able to find even more.

46
If I didn’t have a family, I don’t know that I would never not be in a hotel room working.
47
48
People are always asking me if I work out, but to be honest, I’m doing very little at the moment. The only time I really go to the gym is if I’m staying in a hotel.

Strong focus on customer experience coupled with strategic investments in proprietary technology has helped us maintain a high net promoter score while empowering our hotel partners.

The thing I can’t figure out is why I have an undeniable compulsion to clean public spaces, airplane bathrooms, restaurant flatware, hotel gyms and Chapstick containers… yet I have no desire to make my own bed. Ever. Seriously, who made me, and where am I from?

You show up in Paris, and on the drive from the airport to the hotel you’re like, ‘This is so cool! I want to see something! I want to go to the Eiffel Tower!’ And then you leave the next morning. You think, Oh, I didn’t get to do anything. I tell people: I’ve been just about everywhere, but I’ve seen nothing.

My husband and I love to travel. For me, a dream vacation in Brazil begins first and foremost with a rad hotel. Then, number two is eating – eating delicious food nonstop, almost around the clock. And then a mix of relaxation and beaches, and doing adventures.
71
I’m very intelligent. I’m capable of doing everything put to me. I’ve launched a perfume and want my own hotel chain. I’m living proof blondes are not stupid.
72
73
I lead a very active lifestyle. When I am not working, I enjoy snowboarding in winter. I golf and swim in the summer months. However, trying to find the time to exercise when I am traveling is quite a challenge. I find myself working out at hotel gyms quite regularly – just so that I can keep up with my training.
74
75
I once stayed at a Ritz in D.C., paid for by a client, and when I asked to change rooms because mine smelled of smoke, the hotel immediately found me a better room, then paid for my dinner and drinks and even threw in a free massage to compensate me for the very minor inconvenience.
76
We enter the government essentially in a hotel that is on fire. We’re throwing people from the windows into the pool to save their lives and this is the evaluation of the Olympic diving committee: Well, the splash was too big.
77
‘Been That Way’ is a song that Timbaland gave me. Actually, the beat is. And then he called me to come out there to Miami. I went out there to work with him, and he gave me two beats for my project. One was ‘Sorry Not Sorry,’ and the other one was ‘Been That Way,’ and I recorded both of them in my hotel.
78
Did I grow up thinking I’d ever be paged at the Beverly Hills Hotel? Did I ever think I’d make so much money writing ads? No.

I don’t know anything about the hotel business.

I would rather sleep in a bathroom than in another hotel.

I used to work at a hotel. I was the order-taker for room service. My mom worked at the hotel as an accountant.
90
I used to overpack a lot and sometimes even forgot vital pieces of clothing, such as my swimming shorts and sandals. I’m much better now. I only take what I know I’m going to wear or use and always double-check my suitcase so I don’t have to rush to the nearest clothing store when I unpack at the hotel.
91
I shot ‘Nuvvilla’ for 56 days and stayed at Sitara Hotel in Ramoji Film City.
92
I don’t watch television! At least not when I’m traveling. For some reason, I have always found it depressing to watch television in hotel rooms. I try to use that time, as well as time on planes, to write.
93
I don’t have a special place or ritual for writing songs, basically I write songs whenever an idea hits me, in my hotel room, on the road, in the plane.
94
Elvis couldn’t leave the hotel except under heavy guard. It was incredible how they went wild over him.

There was this guy, he must have been young, who told me on Twitter: ‘CupcakKe, I just told my mom I’m gay and I’m getting kicked out.’ And it just hit home. I automatically replied, ‘If you need a hotel, I’ll pay for it. Let me make sure you’re OK.’

I took my wife to a really expensive hotel in Dubai. This was when we were first dating, so I wanted to impress her. I had scallops, and after that, I went to the bathroom to be sick. I realised I had just paid £300 or £400 on scallops just to throw it up. My wife and I then talked about it; I knew I had a problem.
102
Chinese consumers don’t book hotel rooms that are as expensive as U.S. consumers.
103
104
No matter how nice a hotel is, it’s not home.
105
I would say ‘struggling‘ is a good word. We were all struggling to keep doing what we were doing, and more things were expected of us. I mean, one of the big things was how in the world are we going to top ‘Hotel California?’
106
107
108
I saw ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel.’ I liked it. I saw ‘The Fault in Our Stars,’ and I could see why young girls like it. But it dropped off like crazy in the second weekend. I liked ‘Fed Up‘ – I love documentaries. I go to a lot of documentaries.
109
110
When I was on my own in a hotel room in Romania, I had the imagination to keep myself occupied.
111
Films happened to me accidentally when I met Marc Robinson in a hotel in Goa, where my mum worked as a supervisor. I would often go there, and the manager there would see me and tell my mom that I should try being a model.
112
Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time – it’s very routine. I’m not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it’s cool; it’s good for me.

To me, when you’re at a hotel, and your home environment is ultimately dictated by somebody else, I always find that a little bit oppressive and scary in a way. Especially if it’s not done well or not run well.
120
This is an elegant hotel! Room service has an unlisted number.
121
122
If you’re a person who says yes most of the time, you’ll find yourself in the hotel business and the restaurant business.
123
My mother cleaned hotel rooms and worked in a video store. My father delivered newspapers and washed dishes in restaurants.
124
125
I played on a 10’x10′ chessboard at a hotel in Miami. The pieces were heavy, and I got tired just making a move. Not cool with that.
126
127
I’ve made money in real estate, hotel, and restaurant investments.
128
129
130
I used to love going out and celebrating with the lads. But we can do that in the hotel and I don’t miss it. I don’t feel that urge any more. Once you make the transition to not doing it then you don’t miss it.
131
Telugu and Tamil industries keenly watch Malayalam movies and are appreciative of the content, be it ‘Ustad Hotel,’ ‘Premam’ or ‘Bangalore Days.’ They’ve also been listening to our music. That’s how I was approached for Telugu films.
132

135
Lack of courage or means often deters the European woman from more independent business activity, and this in spite of increasing freedom to choose her occupation, in spite of brilliant examples of successful undertakings of women, in photography, hotel or boarding-house management, dress-making, etc.
136
137
138
I’d read Up in the Old Hotel, and I wanted to do something with Mitchell‘s stuff for a long time.
139
140
After a gig I always head back to the hotel, remembering granny‘s words of wisdom. I cancel the late-night pizza and watch the Jonathan Ross show instead.
141
142
I have so many fond memories of the Tied Test, and I can’t wait to come back to Brisbane. One thing that stands out is that both teams stayed at the same hotel. We got to know each other so well. Some of my best cricketing friends were in that Australian team.
143
144
145
As a professional athlete, whether it’s traveling or being in a hotel room, you gotta let your time go somewhere.
146
147
148
I’ve always wanted to walk into a hotel, sit at a piano and play ‘Piano Man.’
149
150
The traits I picked from my conversation with Captain Gopinath was his honesty. He was completely possessed at each stage by what he was doing. When he was in the army, he was possessed there. He was possessed when he started Udupi hotel or while doing agriculture. He is a perfectionist and he is very impatient.
151
They can’t take your house and give it to the mayor‘s mistress, even if they pay you for it. But they can, apparently, take your house and tear it down to make room for a development of trendy shops and restaurants, a hotel and so on.
152
I worked at the Sheraton Commander Hotel, which was my first hotel job. They were doing nouvelle cuisine so it was the first time I had seen truffles and ingredients I never thought of. It really broadened my horizon.
153
154
We played New Year‘s Eve in Los Angeles, maybe 1978, opening for Kansas or somebody. Driving to the hotel after the gig, we came on KLOS. It was like, ‘All right! We’re in L.A., we just played a big gig, and we’re on the radio!’ That was the start of something big.
155
I have always wanted to learn the piano, but because I travel so much, I can never get any consistency of lessons. So everywhere I go, if I can find a piano, even if it is in the lobby of a hotel or something, I go on YouTube and pick some songs to learn.
156
I would love to work with anybody who has a good story to tell – Patrick Graham, Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, Neeraj Ghaywan, Coen Brothers, Wes Anderson. I don’t know why I was not considered for that Indian guy’s part in ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel.’
157
158
159
People equate sexy with promiscuous. They think that because I’m shaped this way, I must be scandalous – like running around and bringing men into my hotel room. But it’s just the opposite.
160
They can’t hang outside my hotel or come to the gym and stare at me for a half hour and expect me to be like, ‘Cool. Awesome.’
161
162
163
I hate it when people are rude to service staff. I grew up in my family’s hotel and experienced it first-hand.
164
Just when did I get to the point when staying at a hotel wasn’t fun?
165
My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I’m 31-years-old, and I don’t want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It’s humiliating.
166
I’ve always been battling this perception people have of me, this character. It follows me around. ‘Bubba the Bear’ shows up when I’m checking into a hotel, when I’m on a plane. I can’t get upset with people if they’re only aware of a small part of my body of work. But inside I do.
167
168
That’s the spirit in which I went to New York to be with my husband, and when I knocked on the hotel door, she opened the door as Caitlyn as we now know her – full makeup and fully dressed as a woman. So it was devastating to me to see because I had envisioned Bruce opening the door, but it was helpful in my process.
169
Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.
170
I like Le Bilboquet. I know it’s been around for a while, but it’s a classic. I do love a hotel bar, too. Anywhere dark too is a great place to go. I haven’t dated that much in New York since I’ve been back.
171
172
173
174
I was in California the first time I heard Michael Jackson wanted to record with me. I was, like, ‘Nah, no way, he’s too big, it can’t be true.’ Then I got a call from Michael’s people at my hotel telling me he was interested. But I still wasn’t believing it – I thought they were setting me up for a TV practical jokes show.
175
I never have been in Bernie Fine’s hotel room in my life.
176
177
The thing about tennis life is that it’s the same thing every day. You train. You come back to the hotel. You get treatment. You eat. You sleep. You get up.
178
I love the Bowery Hotel by night.
179
After two world tours where we played every state but Greenland, I only saw the inside of a hotel. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world, but it did get tiring.
180
In ‘The Third Hotel,’ my narrator, Claire, is wrestling with this sense of perpetual unfinishedness. She’s trying to make sense of her husband’s death, how someone’s life can just stop and not continue, and of the lack of resolution in her own inner life.
181
182
It wasn’t a pleasant experience to be confined to my hotel room for five days even though I had my Xbox and workout stuff with me so I could make the most of a bad situation.
183
By the year 2020, we envision our group to be the largest hotel developer in the Philippines, with a total portfolio of around 12,000 hotel rooms.
184
185
There are certain times you realize you’ve got too much money. One was when I started getting bills from the Koi hotel. When I was remodeling the Koi pond, the Koi had to go to the Koi hotel. They ended up staying there for 13 months and I never asked what the bill was.
186
187
It’s what I do my entire life when I’m not doing music. If I’m in a hotel room in Sweden, or on a plane to Vancouver, I’m watching football. I’ll try to talk about other stuff, too, but football is a lifestyle.
188
189
190
191
192
I’ve spent the last year and a half going through a very public separation, hiding in hotel lobbies.
193
194
195
The first time I landed in New York and got a cab to my hotel, I was completely struck by it: a feeling of life and chaos, 24 hours around the clock, just like in London. And whatever your problem is, it’s insignificant. You’re just a small part of something very big.

Blakes Hotel in South Kensington was a particular favourite of mine during what I affectionately think of as my Restless Years.
202
203
204
205
206
207
I was always interested in listening to music – and, of course, when my older brother brought home ‘Heartbreak Hotel,’ that was it.
208
One of the things that’s consistent, if you speak to hotel owners or customers across the world, is that the proposition of Oyo is very valuable for each one of them.
209
210
211
I loved Le Taha’a private resort in Tahiti. It’s accessible only by private boat or helicopter, and it sits on a tiny strip of land just big enough for one hotel. It’s extraordinary and faces the Vanilla Island where Tahitians grow vanilla.
212
Even after premieres or events, some of the stars are like, ‘Let’s go out’ and I just go back to the hotel room. I am the most boring person.
213
214
215
The first time I got recognized in the Sates, it was by Mike Tyson. He sang ‘Cruel Summer’ at us as we were walking out of the hotel to go to the beach.
216
Some people say it’s sad living in a hotel, but I’d rather be living in an hotel than living in an house on my own.
217
218
I promise you, your hotel room is going to be no more comfortable than my RV. And I’m going to tell you, you might prefer my RV. I swear to God, it’s really that comfortable. Awnings outside, and if you want to cook outside, a tailgate kind of thing. There’s a fridge that’s underneath and comes outside. It’s beautiful.
219
I had spent many days hungry; had slept on railway stations at times because I did not have money to pay for a hotel room… there were moments when I felt I had compromised my dignity as a human being and as an actor.
220
I was so famous that I couldn’t leave the hotel room. I remember looking out of the window at all these fans but just feeling so isolated.
221
222
223
224
I’d rather sleep on the bus than in the hotel because I sleep way better on tour buses.
225
226
But I’ll never forget my trip to Las Vegas. I’m a huge rollercoaster fan and we did the one at the Stratosphere, which curls around the hotel, and there’s one that dips out from the roof then comes back in. That was intense.
227
228
I’ve worked on films where the budgets are almost limitless and you’re in trailers that are bigger than a hotel room. You’re taken care of and the food is amazing, the quality of the job is amazing and then you work on smaller things but it never dictates my happiness or my willingness to go to work.
229
I don’t really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there.
230
Mum and Dad ran a seaside hotel in Anstruther in Fife. It was a family run business, so I worked in the kitchen and helped out as a chambermaid and waitress.
231
Kenya is a land of great people, and during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, I remember meeting some Kenyan fans at the hotel where we were staying. It felt nice to see people from back home cheering and supporting me. Some even approached me; we talked, and they took pictures.
232
233
When we’re out touring, we often go to clubs to see people play. The alternative is to go back to the hotel And that’s no good.
234
235
There were always so many beautiful women throwing themselves at us. One time we had 40 models in our hotel suite someone had called an agency and invited them along.
236
For the past nine years as MP of Rampur,I was staying at Modi Hotel. It was a second home to me.
237
238
I don’t think there is just one Louis Vuitton woman. That is why, for the fall/winter 2011 show, I loved the idea of lots of different characters – a wife, a mistress, a girlfriend – stepping out of the row of hotel elevators.
239
240
As far as luxury goes, about the only thing I do is… I go first class all the way. I live on the road, so when I’m out there, I’m getting the nice hotel suite, I’m getting the luxury car, I’m eating the good food, and I make sure I take care of myself on the road.
241
242
Nobody leaves a hotel without getting a full measure of three months of rental assistance. So no one has been evicted – no one who’s eligible has been evicted from a hotel without getting a significant amount of money to find – to pay for their rent.
243
244
I went to a hotel to become a chef and then tried becoming a flight attendant, but no one took me. I then worked in a travel agency and got into advertising and modelling after someone spotted me. So I started doing ads. I did ‘Charminar’ ad, because of which I got two films.
245
246
247
248
I’ve been a waitress for events, but a lady at the Victoria hotel in Yorkshire showed me how to do it properly.
249
250
251
252
My mom would drive me from Cleveland to New York City and use my dad’s hotel points for auditions. They were the most supportive parents that I could have. Without them, I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere.
253
254
255
256
257
258
259
I’ve travelled the world with football, but probably in a privileged way. We’ve travelled, and travelling means going from an airport to the pitch to the hotel. I haven’t really seen or explored things.
260
261
262
263
It annoys me when I phone a hotel receptionist in my own country, and they don’t understand what I am saying because they don’t speak English. I think that’s wrong. It’s nothing to do with being politically correct or incorrect; it’s just not right.
264
265
266
267
It’s the worst feeling, coming back after a performance when you are on a real high, and you go back alone to an apartment or a hotel room. People think we sit in hotels and eat bon bons. But the lifestyle can be very stressful.
268
269
270
The minute I enter my house or a hotel room on the road, wherever I am, the first thing I do is light a candle; that’s my favourite thing.
271
I start warming up before training an hour before at the hotel. That’s not because I feel old and my body needs it. It’s because it’s prehab. It’s preventing those injuries.
272
273
274
275
276
Several times we were stranded in strange places without any money and with our credit cards cancelled – trapped in a hotel that we couldn’t check out of because we had no money to check out.
277
I have the same routine every game day, when it comes to waking up and what I do at the hotel and stuff, but nothing crazy.
278
279
Life on the road not easy. You live in the cold arena, hotel, airport day after day, you get tired, lonely very quick.
280
When we go out to train, we work hard, but when we’re back in the hotel, you want to chill out. People want to switch off from football because you spend so much time doing it. For me, switching off means playing jokes.
281
282
India – I’ve always felt at home there. Delhi and Mumbai and the Taj Mahal are all incredible – but it’s the people I love. Indians are so interesting and accommodating and friendly. The best hotel I’ve stayed at there is the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur: its architecture is unbelievable.
283
284
I’m a filmmaker; I want to make films. I don’t want to sit in a hotel room waiting to make films, and I can control my thing in Denmark; I can make the film I want to make… of course, I have to write a good script, all that, but if I do my job, it will happen.
285
286
I sometimes feel like I should be in the hotel business.
287
I change so many houses and places where I live; I change them like I change socks. I don’t have this absolute, kind of, how you say, attachment. My brother, if he just has to go to holiday to sleep in different bed, for him it is a disaster. I can sleep under this table or in a five-star hotel; I don’t care.
288
Hopefully everybody in the audience thinks, ‘That’s cool. I could do that.’ I don’t like the thought that they say, ‘I saw the Beastie Boys last night, and they’re mega-stars.’ I’m a lot happier when the kids who come backstage or to the hotel try to give us tapes of what they’ve done instead of just getting an autograph.
289
I had no idea about running a hotel, but as an investment, as a property in real estate, it was very interesting because we got a great deal. Talking to my mom, I said, ‘Listen, we’re going to buy this, but I need somebody to run it.’ So I asked my mom, ‘Are you willing to do it?’
290
291
292
Everything I commission – whether it is for me or for a client’s home or for a hotel or office – is absolutely unique to that job. I have everything made, or I find vintage and antique pieces at markets and auctions.
293
No hotels have gone out of business because of Airbnb… Airbnb is not a perfect substitute for a hotel. We excel at different things.
294
When my wife left me, in real life, T. J. Miller was like, ‘I’m shooting a movie in Pittsburgh. I’ll fly you out and get you a hotel room,’ and I spent a week with him.
295
296
The Loden in Vancouver, where I stayed when I was filming ‘The Arrow,’ is a family-run hotel with a fantastic restaurant, great facilities, and brilliant people.
297
My business partner Robert De Niro knows a lot about hotels; he opened the Greenwich Hotel in New York City.
298
The first time I went to Taiwan, there were cameras, paparazzi, TV stations outside my hotel twenty-four hours a day nonstop.
299
It’s lonely being stuck in a hotel in London for two nights. Even a couple of nights away from the children is awful.
300
With ‘New Rose Hotel,’ I knew that I was getting paid a $100,000 fee to write, produce, and direct, and that’s all I was going to get.
301
I hate touring beyond measure. I don’t like all the travelling and the hotel rooms. But the hour and a half on stage each night keep me going.
302
Early investors in Uber and Airbnb, though they remain private companies, have valued them at stratospheric multiples based largely on the notion that Uber will transform and dominate local transportation and Airbnb will revolutionize the hotel industry.
303
304
305
At the height of our fame, we didn’t see anything. We didn’t leave the hotel because we were doing interviews all day. We may have traveled the world, but we saw nothing.
306
I really love it in Belfast. I always stay in the most bombed hotel, the Europa!
307
308
When I lived in Beijing in 1996, it was a horizontal city. If you wanted to go out for a burger, if you wanted to really treat yourself, you went to this place called the Jianguo Hotel. The architect had proudly described it as a perfect replica of a Holiday Inn that he had seen in Palo Alto, California.
309
Oyo is not a market place. Oyo is a fully fledged hotel chain that leases and franchises assets.
310
My life has become a series of planes, trains, and automobiles with some occasional downtime at a hotel.
311
312
313
I perform in theaters, international stages with people screaming for me, and then I go back to my hotel room, take all my makeup off, and I’m alone.
314
I had a dream. I dreamed I was on this island, and there were two hotels, and one hotel was filled with dead people, and the other one wasn’t, and I was in the hotel full of dead people.
315
I lived in a hotel across the street from Disneyland for a month.
316
No veteran or active duty service member should endure a long hospital stay alone. Yet sadly, due to the high cost of travel, all too often our military families are separated while America’s heroes receive care. Sometimes families sleep in hospital parking lots, unable to afford long stays in a hotel.
317
I grew up in a small hotel with many rooms, so when I became aware of ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,’ I inspected all the wardrobes, sure one had to be a portal to another world. I was also a true believer in faeries, and perhaps still am.
318
I remember performing one-man reenactments of Miss Saigon’ for my grandmother on her fireplace or dancing to Gwen Stefani in our hotel in the Philippines.
319
I once spent an entire night in a hotel in New York looking across the way into someone’s apartment where nothing was happening but daily life, a phone call, television watching, staring into the fridge. Seeing how those strangers lived over that small distance and in absolute silence moved me deeply.
320
I know I’m really lucky to do what I do, but sometimes with the hours and the travelling, I don’t get to see my family and friends as much as I’d like. It can be lonely on the road. Sometimes I come offstage after a massive adrenaline rush, and then when I go to an empty hotel room on my own, it can be an anti-climax.
321
In classic noir fiction and film, it is always hot. Fans whirr in sweltering hotel rooms, sweat forms on a stranger‘s brow, the muggy air stifles – one can hardly breathe. Come nightfall, there is no relief, only the darkness that allows illicit lovers to meet, the trusted to betray, and murderers to act.
322
I’m a huge E! fan. Every hotel room, I watch it all the time. ‘E! News’ is fantastic.
323
I think paranormal experiences are very personal, again, if they are that. Yes, sometimes I’ve felt that some things I would personally believe enough for me to take action on it… like, you know, I felt something happen in a hotel once that made me never stay there again.
324
Because I live and breathe design every day, sometimes I will come across an idea that is something I want to try. It often comes from an old hotel or an old restaurant, and I will adapt it to be residential.
325
I can’t sleep the first night in a hotel room.
326
327
328
Me being able to trash hotel rooms on set means I don’t do it in real life.
329
330
Every job has its downside. For example, being in a band; the travel part of it – getting picked up from your house in a car, going to the airport, getting on a plane, going from the airplane to a van, then going from the van to a hotel.
331
I love a hotel that offers Wi-Fi Internet access, especially if it’s free. But I never access sensitive information, like my bank account or an online shopping site that stores my credit card information, on a public Wi-Fi connection.
332
I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad.
333
Producing is a thankless task akin to hotel management. Unfortunately, there are not too many good hotel managers.
334
335
The thing about tennis life is that it’s the same thing every day. You train. You come back to the hotel. You get treatment. You eat. You sleep. You get up.
336
As soon as I put my bags down in the hotel, I’ll do a search on my phone to find which local gyms are in my area.
337
338
339
We fly to the town in the little private airplane, and then we have to get in cars and drive to the hotel and then drive to the gig. So, I want to do a tour where the performances will actually be at the small airports.
340
341
At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator.
342
343
344
345
346
It doesn’t matter if you’re staying at a four-star hotel, you will never have your whole closet with you.
347
348
The fans are always at the hotel waiting, they like to get pictures and autographs. I enjoy it all, the displays of love and support at the hotel and the shows.
349
350
I was living out of a hotel for weeks with nothing but a case full of Love Island’ bikinis.
351
Being in a hotel room and watching ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ is one of my great joys.
352
I love Franschhoek, and straight off the plane, I went to the incomparable Quartier Francais, on the main street, for breakfast. This small hotel and restaurant is regularly near the top of every poll for best hotel and restaurant in Africa.
353
People think being famous is so glamorous, but half the time you’re in a strange hotel room living out of a suitcase.
354
355
356
357
I wanted to start a hotel company from scratch.
358
I absolutely love the Mena House Oberoi hotel in Cairo, which overlooks the Great Pyramids of Giza.
359
360
Fortunately, I like hotel rooms.
361
Nobody really wants to bowl a bad over, but if it happens, the individual is more disappointed than anyone else in the stadium or the team. Ideally, it is best to leave him to this thoughts and then have a chat with him after the team is back at the hotel when he will be less frustrated and more accepting.
362
363
Actors are steeped in a world of agents and where the next job is coming from and what are their expenses and what is the hotel like. You want to take them out of that world and dump them into another world, so that when you meet them on the screen they don’t seem like the guy who was in two others movies that year.
364
365
When I played the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve, I got to bring Wiley, my 85-pound black lab. He’s responsible for my favorite New Year’s memory of all: At the end of the show, he ran onstage and then out across all the tables in the showroom, sending champagne glasses and gamblers flying.
366
I write pretty much anywhere – on planes, in hotel rooms, anywhere in my house.
367
368
369
370
371
372
I hate family pressures and family responsibilities. I’m more comfortable as a stranger. I always imagined I could just live in a hotel. I’m afraid of family.
373
374
In Malaysia, with my dad, the only time I really spent time with him was when we had dinner back at the hotel, in the room, just me and him. That was good, to have him there, just before going to bed, to have a chat.
375
I had thought that maybe I will go into hotel business because our family loves food. And North Indian food is very famous in Hyderabad.
376
Investment banks started recruiting at Harvard back in the day, and they’d fly me down to New York City and I was so poor so I would take advantage of the free flight, the per diem, the hotel. And then I would go audition for stuff.
377
378
379
So many people treat you like you’re a kid so you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window.
380
When I pull into a city and I rent a car and it’s Nashville, or it’s London, or I’m driving in the taxi to the hotel, and on comes one of my songs, it’s like, ‘Oh my God, they’re still playing these songs on the radio.’ And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up.
381
I find too often in the wrestling business, you just wrestle, get to the hotel, make your money. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself to enjoy my life and not just rush through.
382
Initially when I got called up, I thought it would change my life. And it didn’t. Then when I won the Most Valuable Player, I thought I’d be a Beatle and I’d be overwhelmed and not be able to leave my hotel room. I don’t say that with arrogance, I say it with unknown.
383
Bangalore Days’ is a complete entertainer that is a completely different a genre from ‘Ustad Hotel,’ and the songs are just that – entertaining.
384
I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don’t allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.
385
When most artists walk offstage, they go to a lonely hotel room. I went home to my family. They were there before the show, during and after. It’s been great. I never would have done it any other way. I wasn’t gonna miss raising my kids. There was no way that was gonna happen.
386
387
I’m very intelligent. I’m capable of doing everything put to me. I’ve launched a perfume and want my own hotel chain. I’m living proof blondes are not stupid.
388
There are some times when you make films and you travel places, and the take that people in the business have is that the worst way to see a city is to shoot there, because you work these long 12, 13 and 14-hour days, and you go home to the hotel, you eat, and you pass out.
389
St. Teresa of Avila described our life in this world as like a night at a second-class hotel.
390
I love hotel rooms, so I take pictures of the room and the way out and the lobby, the food and drink.
391
392
393
In London, what I do on the weekend is be a person and have my own life. In Paris, it is going from this hotel to the office and back again. But I love it.
394
I’ve always been a cabaret-vaudeville artist – an hourlong cabaret and a floor show in a hotel – somebody like that. That’s my main forte.
395
396
As an actor, you spend a lot of your life in hotel rooms.
397
I’ve written everywhere – in hotel rooms, cafes, airports, and planes all around the world. Now I have a home office, and the wi-fi is really bad down there, which is great. If I make a date with myself to write from, say, 6 A.M. to 10 A.M. on a Saturday, the fact that no emails come in helps me focus.
398
399
You may not have any interest in Clemson whatsoever, but if Clemson calls, and they want to pay for you to come, and feed you and put you in a hotel, well, who doesn’t want to go do that? Sign me up. Let’s go, man.
400
I always wish the hotels were like they are in movies and TV shows, where if you’re in Paris, right outside your window is the Eiffel Tower. In Egypt, the pyramids are right there. In the movies, every hotel has a monument right outside your window. My hotel rooms overlook the garbage dumpster in the back alley.
401
You need to have a home to go back to, whether it’s a hotel room or a barn. It’s only home when he’s there.
402
Sometimes at night during the season I was going through hell. Waking up in, who knows, Sacramento, in L.A., in the middle of the night alone in a hotel and thinking, ‘Why am I here? Is it really worth it?’
403
404
And it’s tough traveling. You know, the hotels and the airports and all that. That part, eating and getting around to the hotel room and then going on.
405
I love Vegas. I come to Vegas all the time… Check into a hotel for a day or two and enjoy the city.
406
To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.
407
I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.
408
409
410
411
There’s a lot of loneliness in a book tour. A lot of grilled cheese sandwiches alone in your hotel at night.
412
413
414
415
I’ll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi’s rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business.
416
I don’t know why comedians moan about touring; you get driven to a town, stay in a hotel, work for an hour and a half with nice people, and eat fatty service station food. There’s nothing not to like.
417
During my second draft pass on my last book I made 20,000 words happen in a week, which is practically supernatural for me, and it would never have been possible without three nights in a hotel in my own city.
418
I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they’re doing. People don’t look at me. They don’t even know I’m there.
419
I’m not a guy who typically has an after-party. I like to have pizza in my hotel room with the people that went out to support me.
420
The telly’s almost always on. It’s how I wind down after a show. It’s how I relax on a rare night off. It educates me, entertains me and makes a hotel room feel a lot more cosy.
421
Yoga is a great thing to do because you can just practice it by yourself in your hotel.
422
I believe in live-in relationships, but most of the time, I am living out of hotel rooms. So, I don’t know where I would have a live-in relationship.
423
424
In late 2009, I returned to Baghdad after a lengthy absence. I was living alone, in the Hamra Hotel, the twice bombed-out de facto international news bureau.
425
I tend to – every time I step onto the set until the time I go back to the hotel, I just try to be in character all the time.
426
Sometimes you’ve just got to sit down, whether you’re in the hotel room or on your couch at home, and really just appreciate what’s going on around you.
427
I remember when MTV first put ‘Linger‘ in heavy rotation, every time I walked into a diner or a hotel lobby, it was like, ‘Jesus, man, here I am again.’
428
429
I have spent my life on the road waking in a pleasant, or not so pleasant hotel, and setting off every morning after breakfast hoping to discover something new and repeatable, something worth writing about.
430
Room service is nice. Ooh-la-la, a hotel. At home, it’s laundry and school lunches.
431
432
Of course I got angry when I lost and maybe would cry in my hotel room afterwards. But I would never show it. I didn’t want the men’s pity. I didn’t want to share my pain with them.
433
I pretend I’m one of the royal family when I’m in a hotel and that the hotel belongs to me – it is a palace.
434
You can get too close as a team. You need time away from each other. You change in the same dressing room, you play on the same cricket field, you stay in the same hotel, you travel in the same planes and buses. C’mon – this business of everyone holding hands and being pally is nonsense.
435
Today many Caribbean workers can be found in the hospital, construction, service and hotel industries, but there is also a growing professional sector.
436
I find myself working out at hotel gyms quite regularly – just so that I can keep up with my training.
437
438
I spent my life on the road touring, and a lot of the songs are written in tour buses and hotel rooms.
439
I need something truly beautiful to look at in hotel rooms.
440
441
442
443
The Watergate is a hotel in Washington where Nixon operatives broke in to steal campaign information from the Democratic Party. Nixon’s people subsequently described that act as a ‘third-rate burglary.’ In the same manner, Clinton has described the FBI investigation of her email escapades as ‘a security review.’
444
I had CNN on in my hotel room every day while we were filming the pilot for ‘The Originals.’
445
446
447
448
I’m just, like, totally normal. The fact that any of this has happened, that we’re sitting here at the Beverly Hills Hotel just gets me going, like, ‘What?’
449
450
451
We’re fans of stuff like Maiden, but I think we generally get it from weirder places. For me, the Eagles’ ‘Hotel California’ represents one of the most brilliant harmony approaches to music. Boston did it very well, too.
452
I don’t know how many bands I saw who would try to wreck a hotel room, but I never wrecked a hotel room in my life! If I’m gonna sit there and throw a TV out the window… if it’s a good TV, maybe I should just take it home.
453
In the winters, I enrolled in the hotel management program at Cornell University. I naively thought that I knew something about sleight-of-hand, entertainment and food, and that would be all I needed.
454
I’ve seen such things as you would not believe. I’ve seen motorbikes driven down hotel corridors – and had a go myself.
455
When you think about it, Airbnb is a great solution if your family is traveling with you on business and you need more space, if you’re going for an extended stay, like a week plus. It’s a great solution if you want close proximity to the work site and maybe there isn’t a hotel across the street or whatnot.
456
457
458
Make no mistake: Bob Ritchie‘s up early in the morning taking pictures of his son on the first day of his senior year. Kid Rock is passed out in a hotel room somewhere with four scantily-clad women.
459
I can still smell the tear gas in the Hilton Hotel.
460
When you’re touring, you only see the auditorium and the hotel room. You can’t go out because you get mobbed. You’re tired, edgy and under pressure. The fun had gone out of it, so we decided to walk away from it all.
461
There’s always an excitement around the Strip whenever something new being built. It was always the biggest and the best hotel or, you know, over-the-top things. And so, family would be coming in from out of town, and it was such a thrill to be showing them this, you know, erupting new volcano or whatever it was.
462
463
464
I am a fanatic when it comes to the game, so I need to know there is a golf course not far away when I’m on holiday, such as when I stayed at the Four Seasons Resort Nevis. It is a beautiful hotel with a great golf course, which made it even better.
465
Well, I took a sabbatical. I walked away from shooting movies because I couldn’t handle the travel. I’m a single parent. I had young kids, and I found that keeping in touch with them from hotel rooms and airports wasn’t working for me. So I stopped.
466
‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ is not really my thing, but I kind of loved it.
467
When I’m alone in my hotel room in some foreign place, I feel very lonely. Then I tuck into my favourite chocolate – Chuckles or Whispers – for some comfort.
468
469
The strange thing about hotel rooms is that they look familiar and seem familiar and have many of the accoutrements that seem domestic and familiar, but they are really weird, alien and anonymous places.
470
I’m shooting in Brooklyn, we’ve got all kinds of crap going on, and I’m all alone now in a big hotel suite that you can’t believe the size of it and a thing sticks in my foot and I just think it’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to me.
471
I am plenty lonely in hotel rooms.
472
473
The first private space of my own wasn’t a dorm room; it was a hotel room in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
474
I leave a $100 bill and a note to the housekeeper at every hotel I’ve ever been in. It’s important to write that they’re recognized and appreciated.
475
476
There are more movie stars in the lobby of the Aquadulce than there are in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
477
478
479
I always look at the bathroom. If you have a nice bathroom in the hotel, then it’s a nice hotel. It’s all about the shower and the bathroom.
480
I’m a hotel baby, absolutely: it’s hard to think of a hotel I haven’t stayed in.
481
Breaking up a hotel room doesn’t change anything.
482
483
484
No matter how bad your hotel is, take a deep breath, because if you can get through a night, it won’t seem quite so bad the following morning.
485
So I had to just kind of go back to the hotel, take a shower, sit quiet, dig down deep, warm up, and allow myself to move into some kind of zone. And then I remembered that a lot of my favorite musical moments are not about perfection.
486
You know, maybe I was just born in the wrong time, but I love all things romantic. Puffy understands that. For my last birthday, he covered my hotel room floor with rose petals and had flowers and candles all over the room.
487
488
Twenty years ago, you’d see guys busting rackets in locker rooms. Today they do it in their hotel rooms.
489
The World Cup is like the Overlook Hotel: the identities of individual meat puppets might change, but the structure continues endlessly.
490
For the duration of its collective life, or the time during which its identity may be assumed, each class resembles a hotel or an omnibus, always full, but always of different people.
491
I have never been in a hotel – from the two-star types all the way to five-star – that does not have a gym.
492
I can’t stand another night in a hotel. Just being away. You miss the kids.
493
494
495
496
Whether it is through stock-market trading or the sale of hotel rooms, the Internet has a way of bringing deflationary forces to all businesses that were hitherto inefficient and involved many middlemen.
497
498
499
500
If I was not an actor, I would have been working in a five star hotel as a chef.
501
I still, at hotel rooms, I do this one sort of not-so-cool thing: continually shoving my room service tray in front of someone else’s door. Because I don’t want the remnants. I don’t want to be caught, like, being like the pig that I was at two in the morning.
502
I’m very strict with my packing and have everything in its right place. I never change a rule. I hardly use anything in the hotel room. I wheel my own wardrobe in and that’s it.
503
I just love to go home, no matter where I am, the most luxurious hotel suite in the world, I love to go home.
504
505
