I was only a few hours into my stay at Suite Dior 30 Montaigne, the ultra-exclusive new accommodation located in the French house’s historic headquarters, when I realised I could abandon the habit of picking up after myself. When I left a room for a short amount of time, anything left askew was snappily rearranged. The handbag on the floor? Posed delicately on a chair. The crumpled clothes in my carryall? Steamed and hung, or folded with a deftness I will never possess. The remains of my room service? Cleared by the time I finish my bath. All completed with stealth discretion by the team of six staff who swept in and out of the seven-room, 150sq m accommodation like sharply suited secret agents.
我在蒙田大道30号迪奥套房(Suite Dior 30 Montaigne)住了几个小时后，就意识到我可以扔掉自己收拾东西的习惯了。迪奥套房是位于该法国品牌历史悠久的总部的超豪华新住所。当我短暂离开房间时，任何东倒西歪的东西都会被迅速地重新排列。地板上的手提包？巧妙地摆在椅子上。我包里皱巴巴的衣服？熨烫后挂了起来，或者以我永远不可能拥有的灵巧方式折叠起来。客房服务的剩余部分？在我洗完澡的时候已经清理干净。所有这些都是由六名工作人员完成的，他们像衣着光鲜的特工一样，在这个拥有七个房间、150平方米的住所里进进出出，隐蔽而谨慎。
