I look for the hotels that have figured out the comfortable balance - a modern room that is well designed, and really clean sheets.
I've always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals. I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?
I travel all over the world, usually 10 months out of the year. I stay at a lot of hotels, and the ones I like best are clean and not complicated. You go to bed and say, 'Wow, I feel comfortable.'
The hateful thing about most hotels nowadays is that they only have duvets. I hate duvets.
I've just always liked hotels. I like the bed and the sheets and everything that comes along with it.
I tend to write some, then outline some, then delete some, then go back and rewrite some. I love revising and hate first drafts. I have to wear bedroom slippers. My current favorites come from the Zetter Hotel in London. They have little tobacco pipes on the toes.
I love that you can pick up your phone at a hotel and have something to eat in your bed. I love home, but there are amenities at a hotel that you simply don't have at home.
I bring incense, essential oils, and candles to make my hotel room feel more like home.
