One thing many people don’t know is that many mid- and high-level hotels often have what they term an “executive lounge,” and gaining access to this exclusive area can immensely increase the enjoyment of your stay.
Executive lounges provide a quiet, spacious area in which to relax or work, and they often feature a stunning view of the city, which your room may lack. Many executive lounges will offer free snacks or appetizers, a bar, televisions, newspapers, and access to phones and fax machines.
Access is generally gained through special booking codes, and often adds very little to the total cost of your stay.
