Sibe nomdla eNew York ixesha elide, utshilo umququzeleli weqela le-Ace Hotel Group, osandula ukufudukela eManhattan phakathi kwezicwangciso zokuvula indawo yokuqala ye-East Coast yenqanawa yakhe efikayo kodwa esefashonini kamva unyaka.
Kunxweme oluseNtshona, enye yeedolophu zethu ezi-1, ukuza kuthi ga ebantwini beza kuthi, yiNew York, utshilo. Ke ndicinga ukuba incoko iya kuba yinyani, ukuba siyakuba nabaphulaphuli abaninzi, isibheno esikhulu, ngethemba, kwimarike yaseNew York.
UMnu Calderwood no-Co bathatha ulawulo lwe-Breslin Hotel endala kwikona ye-Broadway kunye ne-West 29th Street, apho kucetywa ukulungiswa ngokutsha kunyaka ozayo ukuze kuguqulwe isakhiwo esineziqithana zokuhlala njenge hotele yabakhenkethi.
Kungumsebenzi omkhulu, njengoko indawo yakudala, eneeyunithi ezingama-360 zokuhlala kwigumbi elinye, evulwe ngonyaka we-1904, iya kufuna ukwakhiwa ngokutsha. Kufuneka songeze izindlu zokuhlambela, utshilo (ihotele endala ngoku ibonelela ngezixhobo ekwabelwana ngazo kwiipaseji), kwaye kukho iziseko zophuhliso kunye nezinto ezitya imifanekiso eqingqiweyo. Siza kungena kumagumbi angama-250.
Umnumzana Calderwood kunye nabaphuhlisi u-Andrew Zobler kunye no-Allen Gross banethemba lokuvula kwakhona iBreslin ehlaziyiweyo ngemibhobho engcono, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngoDisemba olandelayo.
Ngokuqinisekileyo sisendleleni, utshilo uMnu Calderwood Umjongi kule veki, kubonakala ngathi akoyiki yimeko zamatyala zamva nje ezijolise ekuphazamiseni utshintsho olwenziweyo.
Nge-30 kaJanuwari, igqwetha elimele abaqeshi abaliqela abahlala e-Breslin ngoku bazakuphikisa enkundleni ukuba izoyikiso zokugqogqisa kunye nokuphazamiseka kweenkonzo eziyimfuneko kwiinyanga ezikhokelela kuguquko olucwangcisiweyo lwehotele luye lwenza uhlobo olungekho mthethweni lokuhlukumeza ngenjongo yokugxotha abahlali abalawulwa yirente.
Ukuba ijaji iyavuma, ke isixeko singarhoxisa amaphepha-mvume ayimfuneko, sonakalisa iAce Hotel eyona ilindelwe kakhulu kwiBig Apple.
Iimeko zokuhlala zamva nje, njengoko kuchaziwe ngabahlali abanomsindo kumaphepha enkundla, zizinto ezisekude kakhulu nakwizinto ezincinci ezenziwa ziindwendwe kwiindawo ezikhoyo zeAce eSeattle nasePortland: iingxaki zokufudumeza ezingapheliyo, iinduli zokulahlwa kwenkunkuma ezingafunekiyo, iilifti ezingasebenzi kakuhle. -Engcango zeelifti zibetha ngomsindo zivalwe, zijike zivule, zivale, zivula, ziphindaphindeka, ngokungathi sisilo esikhulu esirhabaxa.
Ngesinye isihlandlo ngo-Matshi ophelileyo, ilifti ibitshixiwe, ibambise umntu ngaphakathi kangangesiqingatha seyure xa umntu ozama ukucima umlilo.
Amagumbi okuhlambela ekwabelwana ngawo kunye neendawo eziqhelekileyo, okwangoku, zichazwe njengezingahlambulukanga, ukutsho nje okuncinci, ngeepompo ezifakwe kwi-tape tape kunye nokwahlula okuboshwe kunye nento ebonakala ngathi yintambo yezihlangu.
Phakathi kwako konke ukungangqinelani nokungalungiseki, abahlali abangonwabanga bathi baphindaphindwe ukwamkelwa intlawulo kwaye baphuma-kwaye ubuncinci be-150 okanye sele benayo, ngokwamaphepha enkundla-ukanti abaninzi bakhetha ukuhlala, bebambelele kwirente yaseBreslin enexabiso eliphantsi kunye nendawo eseManhattan.
Omnye umhlali ozinze nkqi ukwala ukufuduselwa kwesinye isakhiwo esomeleleyo, wakhetha ukuhlala kufutshane nomsebenzi kwindawo yohlaziyo ye-Broadway kunokuba abe kwindawo enomthunzi eBrooklyn, ngokobungqina bakhe.
Umnumzana Calderwood uthe akakhathazeki malunga nokulibaziseka okunokubangelwa lityala. Sisebenze kakhulu, ngokusondeleyo kakhulu nabaqeshi, utshilo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba yonke into izakulungela wonke umntu.
Mhlawumbi loo ntembeko ivela kwinto yokuba enye ijaji sele izichithile izikhalazo zabahlali, iqaphela ukuba bekukho amaxwebhu alinganiselweyo axhasa ubungqina babaqeshi, njengoko iirekhodi zedolophu zibonise ukwaphula okumbalwa ngokwakha eBreslin kule minyaka mithathu idlulileyo.
Ubungqina ngokubhekisele kwezi ntlanganiso bubonisa ukuba ulawulo lweBreslin lwenza iinzame eziqhubekekayo zokufikelela kwizivumelwano zokuthenga kunye nabaqeshi abaninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka, kubandakanya ukuhlawulwa kwemali kunye nokufuduselwa kwiindawo zokuhlala ezilawulwa yirenti. Oku kusilela kakhulu ekuhlukumezeni, kugwebe uFaye Lewis, ijaji yomthetho wezolawulo, kwisigqibo sika-Agasti 2007.
