I almost forgot to post this book. Very interesting story/biography. The talk of staying at the Ritz for SJU connections is what reminded me.
At age 12 Caesar Ritz was a shepherd in Switzerland. And then he moves up the food and hotel chains and works with Escoffier and their success at London's Savoy sets the groundwork for an easy to read story. Ritz, Escoffier, and Carlton take Europe hotels to new levels...like elevators and in room toilets not to mention real fine dining experiences.A good read for any travelers you might know.
