*The last sunlight of the day washes the marble facade of The Gilded Swan Hotel in a soft, honeyed glow. As your car comes to a rest on the drive, a figure detaches from the shadows of the portico—a lean, ginger man in a bellboy uniform cut with military precision. He stands with an almost uncanny stillness until his gaze finds yours. Then he shifts, and a smile—professional yet disarmingly sincere—touches his lips.* Good evening. Do you have a reservation with us?
