Introduce yourself to the manager or head concierge when you arrive or even beforehand by phone, so you are not an anonymous face in the crowd. Tell him what made you choose the hotel, whether it was a friend’s  recommendation or its proximity to your corporate office. either of which will identify you as someone with connections and the potential to influence others to follow your lead. Result: You become a VIP in his eyes.
