You Can Take The Towel With You But The TV Stays!

The strangest tales from the life of a night porter

Nothing is more absurd than the experiences of a night porter

Behind the scenes at a luxury hotel

Very amusingly and hilariously told

If you work as a night porter in a luxury hotel, there is one golden rule: never talk about what you have seen. Never! However, Chris Hartmann is talking. For what he has experienced goes beyond even your wildest fantasies. There was a Russian guest who ordered a hitman from him in order to wreak revenge on those who stole from his wife and the Chinese guests who set off the fire alarm by using cupping glasses and ended up stark naked in the hotel corridor. And Chris had to get a group of punch-drunk arms dealers into a taxi to the airport at the crack of dawn – a simply impossible task. A look behind the scenes at the ostensibly well-ordered world of a luxury hotel and a firework of absurdity, which could not be stranger – simply the everyday life of a night porter.
