How To Choose the Best Hotel for Your Next Business Trip

The best business hotels allow travelers to focus on their jobs by sweating the small and big stuff. Four years ago, on a business trip to the W Hotel in Chicago, I lost my luggage and would have been without a suit for a big meeting the next day. The hotel staff went shopping for me and picked out an excellent outfit, dress shoes and belt in time for my meeting. In a separate trip to Washington, D.C., the concierge at The Jefferson Hotel offered to call Brooks Brothers and have them open early so I could purchase a suit in time for a meeting. The extra level of service in these two examples illustrates the above and beyond service that marks an excellent business hotel.
