的亮
点 。 而员工则用音乐行话来代替规范化, 程序化的礼貌用语, 如平常的 You are welcome( 欢迎光
临 ), 在这儿被 That’s cool( 太酷了 ) 所代替 。 饭店内每一项服务细节都能激起宾客对摇滚乐的
热情回忆, 酒吧里的鸡尾酒都用著名的摇滚乐歌曲命名, 即便是一张不起眼的行李标签上, 也印
上了自 70年代以来风靡至今的摇滚歌曲, Hotel California”的歌词 —— You can always check out,

召力, 使之与其他五星级饭店明显区别开来 。 普天下五星级饭店多如星辰, 而搞得唱片大奖桂冠

occupancy.

portions or shares.

estate involved for a specific period and for a
specific number of years,The buyer owns the
