Hotel Guest Requests

Have you ever felt guilty about calling the front desk at a hotel asking for an extra pillow, or to be sent an extra bar of soap? My dear friends... never feel guilty again! Forbes has put together a list of some of the most extreme hotel guest request of the past year. They include

-The Surrealist artist and animal-lover, Salvador Dali. He stayed regularly at the Meurice Hotel in Paris with his two pet ocelots, and asked the concierges to do things for him like catch flies in the Tuileries Garden.

-The concierge at the Beverly Hills Hotel was once asked to find replacement parts for an AK47 for a guest, a request that was turned down.

-Wanting to surprise his wife on her 40th birthday, a guest at Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos asked the hotel to arrange for some fake sharks to appear while he, she and their friends were snorkeling;

-The Englishman staying at the Setai in Miami who asked its concierge to figure out how to move his girlfriend’s pet tiger to London.
