Bourdain travels in the best way
- widely, frequently, and at someone else's expense. Surprisingly, he
has a decidedly favorite hotel - the Chateau Marmont in Beverly Hills.
The writer Andrew O’Hagan has a favorite hotel in the
city where he lives, to which he retreats to recharge and refresh, to indulge
and escape. For him, it is Claridge’s in London, of which he says,
"Claridge’s is a state of mind and everyone should have such a place, even
if it’s just a café, a bench or a patch of grass, a vantage point from which
one can clearly survey the possibility of improvement."
Great stuff, that.
I don't have a favorite hotel,
although maybe I can work on that. The closest thing I have to "such
a place" would be a stream in Vermont. Not a particular one.
Any one which has in it my waders, my brothers, and some trout.
