What the concierge actually does
Books tables anywhere in the city, including the places that say they are full. Hires cars, arranges the airport car, holds luggage across a ferry sailing, gets you into Zealandia at dusk when it looks booked out, and keeps a walking map with honest times on it.
They will also tell you when the crossing is going to be rough, when the walk you have planned is not the walk to do today, and which of the three places doing the same thing on Cuba Street is the one to go to.

This goes to reservations, and on to whoever it concerns — the kitchen, the spa, the Windward Room. Somebody reads it within the working day, and inside two hours between eight and eight.
