In his latest column, Tyler Brûlé explains his simple, "everything matters" test to assess a hotel's capabilities: order a club sandwich.
He explains:
Focusing on the very basics, it starts by sampling the quality of 10 everyday ingredients (bread, lettuce, tomato, egg, bacon, chicken, mayonnaise, butter, potatoes and cooking oil) and how well (or not) all of these can be worked up into a club sandwich.
As with many things in life, if you can nail the simpler, smaller things, then the rest tends to fall into place. This is particularly true of hotels and how they deal with toasting bread, frying eggs, arranging lettuce, crisping bacon and cooking French fries.
