We had rented a car because I had to take my mother to the airport in the evening for her flight to France through Zurich.<\/p>\n<p>However, the valet accidentally left the keys in the car, which locked by itself. As I was picking up the car to go and visit the city with my family, I found a large part of the reception team around the car, not knowing how to get out of this mess!<\/p>\n<p>Seeing my annoyance, the person in charge, Catherine, decided:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to call the rental agency and have them bring in the double.<\/li>\n<li>to charter us a driver with a van for the whole day to show us around the city&#8217;s points of interest<\/li>\n<li>And if you need to take my mom to the airport at night&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>She also granted us a late departure the next day at 7pm (<a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/marriott-bonvoy-elite-status-benefits\/\">instead of 4pm with our Titanium<\/a> status) so that we could relax at the hotel before heading to the airport for our 11pm flight to Singapore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, it shows you how much attention is paid to the situation: although the hotel was at fault, the staff made up for it.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, as far as the location of the hotel is concerned: it is a secure enclave. A bit confusing, because we don&#8217;t feel like we&#8217;re in South Africa at all, but rather in a western capital with all these big brand name or even luxury boutiques.<\/p>\n<p>And what a contrast leaving Melrose Arch&#8230;!
