If You Must Make Human Contact...
Luxury hotels will come up with all sorts of creative ways to rip you off these days. There's the old standby, over-priced WiFi, and its close cousin, the $24 omelet. And the W Union Square, while not in the same category as a Four Seasons-type place, certainly deserves a shout out for its $2.80 8-ounce black coffees. It's always nice when one of 'em decides to throw you a bone.
Rocco Forte Hotels has a nice little feature on its website that allows you to avoid long distance charges by requesting a phone call from the Rocco Forte hotel of your choice. The best part is that it actually works: We got a call from the Astoria Hotel in St. Petersburg just a few minutes after requesting it on the web. Just remember to give them a land line and not a cell phone number, or else you probably will rack up quite a bill.
