Room service may not be economic, but it is Sexy and fabulous. Period.

"Room service is dying, and it's a very good thing," slate tweeted this afternoon, much to my shock and horror. Why the death of completely decadent breakfast, delivered to your door in his bed on the sheets higher than your own, would be something to celebrate? You guys hate fun? And sex of the hotel?

"Room service order when you have another option available for food seems to be such an obviously bad idea I thought it was kind of a business ridiculously high-margin for hotels," writes Matt Yglesias. Instead, room service is not always economical, and for this reason midtown New York Hilton is scrapping it altogether.

A spokesman for Hilton said traditional room service requests are low and, according to Crain, see all hotels, such as the Hudson in New York and the Public in Chicago, "are already munching the concept, providing meals delivered in brown paper bags" instead of China at home.

Room service may not be economic, but that does not mean that it is not sexy. Or fabulous. See: Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, recall of strawberries and champagne at the Regent Beverly Wilshire in Pretty Woman. Couples newly engaged with wine and cheese ready in their hotel room for a bed picnic. Groups of friends ridiculous ordering room service pizza at 02 post-bachelorette. Myself, the hangover, the morning after a wedding outdoors, past breaks with eggs Benedict and a mimosa which was somehow cost $85 total. On a sexy weekend, or even a business trip depressing, ordering of fat pad thai on Seamless aren't.

I know that mine is an emotional argument about an economic problem. It is logical that the Sheraton Manhattan, a tourist factory with its 2,000 rooms would axe room service. But are we really rooting for entire industry his disappearance? Many things that are not exactly economic still flourish in this world - airline tickets, for one. And dinners and drinks consume anywhere outside our own homes. I agree that complaining about the slow agony of room service is #firstworldproblems, but sometimes it's just a wonderful for a special occasion treat, to escape the stress of everyday life. In the case of chilled champagne, room service could even equate with foreplay. Don't tell me not only slate thinks that the death of foreplay is a 'good thing', too.
