At Plaid, we believe in excellence in design and branding. So when we’re on the road, we spare no expense to stay at the nicest hotels in the nation. Sure, when we’re at Cannes, we’ll stay at the Carlton.

But Washington DC? The Soooper 8 on New York Ave. If you’ve never stayed in a high class hotel, here’s a few things you should look for:

+ Bullet proof glass at check in (pictured above). This shows that the hotel cares enough to keep a front desk clerk alive, should you need to schedule a wake up call at 2am.

+ A sleeping security guard/concierge. Sure, he calls himself a security guard, but when I accidentally woke him up while enjoying my free continental breakfast, he was ready to make reservations at the nicest restaurants via his walkie talkie. I’m sure that I only needed to ask. He must have been tired after providing concierge service all night long.

I’m sure that our inconspicuous van loaded with electronics spent a perfectly safe night under the watchful eye of our concierge. I’ll bet he even arranged to have it detailed for us.

That’s the kind of Plaid service we’ve come to expect while on the road.
