“Everything points back to the uniformed girl at the podium in the lobby of the Rittenhouse.”
TRUE HOSPITALITY
At twenty-two Jamie Cooperstein dreamed of becoming a successful sports journalist. She never expected that putting on a concierge uniform and stepping into the lobby of the Five-Diamond-rated Rittenhouse Hotel would lead to anything more than a paycheck.
Written with wit and humor, True Hospitality is a story of finding an unexpected calling behind the concierge desk. Through personal anecdotes of outlandish guest requests, lavish weddings and parties, celebrity stays, and smoke-filled lobbies, Cooperstein takes an honest look at the true meaning of hospitality and how it came to define her.
True Hospitality is a fascinating memoir of one woman’s journey to find her way in the world of luxury hospitality.

“True Hospitality is an absolute delight. With humor, heart, and plenty of jaw-dropping stories from behind the concierge desk, this book is a must-read for anyone who’s ever wondered what it takes to make magic happen for others. Jamie’s insights will stay with you long after the final page.”
– Brittany Hodak, author of Creating Superfans
