Explaining luxury service with glassesfrom @gstaadguy
[01]
Overview
The creator explains a subtle detail of luxury service he experienced at Il San Pietro's breakfast. He showcases a water glass with white lines, explaining that the hotel uses different colored glasses for still and sparkling water to avoid repeatedly asking guests for their preference. He contrasts this 'hands-off' approach of 'old luxury' with the more intrusive service of newer hotels, concluding that true luxury is found in such thoughtful, process-driven details.

Transcript
All it takes is two colors of cups. Luxury is always in the details. I'm currently at Il San Pietro's breakfast. If you order still water, they ask you once, and they give you this cup, which has white lines on it. If you order sparkling, they give you a cup with blue lines. The waiter will then never ask you again, would you like this color sparkling? You make your decision once, and they just know. And that is the hands off beauty of old luxury establishments. I've been to so many new hotels, and I'm very grateful to be here, where they think service is asking over and over again and making sure you're happy worse asking once, having a process in place that could then reduce the number of interactions and questions asked. I think that is an example of the old and excellent style Service.
