The Creators of the modern hotels
A significant contribution to development of hotel business had done two hotel managers - Cesar Ritz and Elsvort Statler. Their observation and dedication to the favourite deal allowed to make many interesting discoveries in this field. Ritz suggested to place the orchestra in restaurant. The audience enjoyed the music that is why they stayed longer at their tables, ordering more drinks and snacks. Statler in turn introduced uniforms for the staff. He proposed to establish in every room telephone, mirror, lights over the beds, etc. It was Elsvort Statler who created the famous phrase "The customer is always right", which became the expression of all areas of service. The hotel chains became very popular after the Second World War. This is caused by world globalization. Thus, businessmen from the USA and Europe who had their business in the Third World, wanted to stay in hotels with a high level service. That is why more and more hotels with an excellent service are appeared. Cesar Ritz Elsvort Statler
