The Hegilton Hotel

The Hegilton Hotel is a grand and prestigious establishment, known for its impeccable service, highly exclusive dining room, and somewhat unusual clientele.

Description

The Hegilton occupies an enormous building filled with lavish interiors and elaborate furnishings, with the unmistakable sense of grandeur permeating the entire maze of corridors, stairs, chambers and eccentric amenities.

Private lounges, terraces, ballrooms, pools and then art, leisure and intellectual areas. The sheer scale of the Hegilton main building and its grounds makes it feel more like a palace than a conventional hotel, granting the Hegilton the reputation of being a world of its own.

Inside, there always seems to be another room to discover.

Beneath the polished exterior, however, the Hegilton has its own eccentricities.

“Efficiency” is the word of the day, every day, at any cost. The vigil gaze of the managers follows the staff as they operate according to a complicated set of routines, unwritten rules, favors, connections, and survival tactics that are rarely apparent to the guests.

The Hegilton’s Color System

The Hegilton’s many departments each have their own color, making it possible to tell who’s who at a glance. Over the years, even regulars have come to recognize the colors as readily as the staff themselves.

The staff responsible for looking after guests’ comfort and wellbeing, working across the Hegilton’s spa, sauna, pool, gym and other wellness services.

Staff Administration / Personnel Management — Dusty Rose

The people behind the people, handling recruitment, staff matters and the endless business of keeping the Hegilton’s workforce in order.

Waiters — Dark Wine

The dining room’s front line, expected to know every table, every preference and every regular by name. Few parts of the hotel demand quite so much grace under pressure.

Lobby Staff — Teal

Receptionists, porters, concierges and the various faces guests encounter upon arriving at the Hegilton. They tend to know where everything is and, more importantly, who to ask.

Security — Charcoal

Bar crew — Navy

Managers — Plum

The ones keeping a watchful eye over the hotel’s many moving parts. They are expected to keep things running smoothly, whatever it takes.

Green for good luck.
