Extra-special guests get extra-special treatment, including the literal red carpet rolled out to greet them: three beds of tulips were planted in anticipation of the visit of The Netherlands' Queen, Juliana, thoughtfully came into bloom around her bungalow the day she arrived. A teapot was kept under 24-hour surveillance in Indonesia President Sukarno's room, should he want a spot at any time. And to a bungalow sometimes occupied by Eccentric Millionaire Howard Hughes, midnight requests for odd items-once, it was only an upside-down cake-are promptly delivered. The hotel boasts that...
