What a very cool gent. A good concierge who actually takes pride in her or his work is an invaluable asset to a hotel. Sadly, too many simply give out generic advice and sponsored recommendations. Excellent video. 👍
@Tosh T Well put!
The cinematography in this coincidentally (or maybe not) reminds me of that in "The Grand Budapest Hotel"
What a very inspiring Grand Gentleman! He has the zest for life! And he imparted his words of wisdom at the end of this video.
"It's a constant learning experience. And the moment you stop learning, you might as well stop working."
Wonder if he is a member of the society of the crossed keys, with notable members like Gustave at The Grand Budapest Hotel
That Guy he literally is, you can see the badges
If only we could hold such an honourable title
I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE SAME THING AND THE WAY IT WAS FILMED IS SO WES ANDERSON
Yes , he had the pin on his lapel . To see another great concierge , check out the video about the Waldorf Astoria and watch their concierge track down emergency face cream for Nicky Hilton .
This video reminds me of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
i think that was the point? The cinematography looks like it was copying the style of Wes Anderson
@@stigma4122 cool.
Heard about him some years ago. Man always been informative and stylish.
This was like a clip from a movie, music and all, nice work!
I can't tell if this is a Wes Anderson reference or not
He has a dog who wears sweaters and a motocycle. LOVE IT! More importantly, he takes pride in his work.
Reminded me of The Grand Budapest hotel
0:32 I thought he'll say "I'm America's first mann"
Captured like a masterpiece! One of the best of Great Big Stories!!!
Damn. Mr Clean's aged over the years...
This is the job I'm working and studying for. Seeing this video what very heartwarming and motivating, plus I love the Wes Anderson's filming style. Great job and thank you for this good moment !
1:30 Man the yanny court restaurant seem very sophisticated
Suacy B LOL 😂 😂😂
This was so wholesome. Thank you.
I met him while I stayed at The Fairmont Hotel and he’s an icon . True gentleman.
I could watch these videos just for the aesthetics. Love the transitions and the colours, very Wes Anderson. Great work!
the grand budapest hotel anyone?
WOW... What a gentleman. AND he still rides his old BMW motorcycle !!! God Bless You my man...
This video just screams Wes Anderson!
This man's class is immeasurable
you know he’s good because I fell madly in love about a minute in
San Francisco looks like such a beautiful place!
Wow, that's brilliant. I love your bike an R60 I thought. When you walked past the stand of trees you could have been in the state Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, Australia.
Wow, one of the greatest video so far
Love it, Mr. Wolfe!
Miss you dearly, my good friend. You are looking well and healthy as always. I see I've aged and you haven't. It's so good to see your videos, and the old haunts--so to speak. Does "she" still walk the halls on the 7th floor? One of these days, I'll stop by for a big hug and a martini at the Big Four. By the way, I love all the Wes Anderson references. The very first time I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel, I said to myself, "That's Tom Wolfe. Wes Anderson just made a god-damned real movie about Tom Wolfe."
Stay well.
Phil
Has anyone met this guy in San Francisco
That's awesome! Good for him! See, you can get older but you don't have to get old.
I couldn't live in San Francisco though; all I can think about is the smog o_o
Delighted to report that Mr. Wolfe is still at his post, as of Feb 2022.
So good!
I love this anderson vibe in here
what a legend!
I thought VoiceOverPete was on the thumbnail for a second... 😂
What a lovely man
New York had one. And the palace in sf had one too
It is always nice to be the first at doing something.
UNLEASHING POTENTIAL - PSYCHOLOGY VIDEOS yeeeah...
Yes.
Song near the end?
Where can I find more videos
Of this amazing concierge
His outro is... DAMN!
The grand budapest Hotel...?
It has the grand budapest vibe in it...
Anyone know the music at 2:21?
A gentleman for sure
Damn that's a nice hotel.
This Comment Section is getting more memer
Test Troller ummm...
Shutout to the Cinch!
I’ve been there
Hey Tom, listen what was hotel First built firget the job. First built..
Cool
Lol I thought he's that Voice Over Pete
Puppy love.
I thought it was VoiceoverPete from the thumbnail
My governors name is Tom Wolfe and I’d rather have this guy than him he seems so sophisticated and smart
If San Francisco was a person.... this would be him
Dont judge but I thought the guy in the thumbnail is Voice over Pete lmao
OMG I stayed here once at the penthouse and i was just showing everyone in my household the pics of the billiard room, library etc. did you know that when JFK stayed there at the penthouse he used the secret door to get privacy from his bodyguards!
Ya boi saw this on the tv in a Fairmont hotel lol
wildwideweb Same here.
Yeah same
Secret door, secret no more!
How is he the first?
Furiouspete is that you?
My goodness. John McCain is back?
Hi
Luxinare Hi
Mr. Tom wolfe kinda talks like a wes anderson character
That's the house from Venom?
Is this a Wes Anderson movie
Yo this is sick but that is for sure not the best view of the golden gate. Personally I think there really isn’t a best view of the bridge but I prefer the Marin headlands look but even then I can’t choose.
This guy looks like Dwight D. Eisenhower.
They don't make 'em like these any more!
Casey neistat was there!!!!
1:28 yanny court restaurant
He sounds like Jeff goldblum a little bit
First like
Uly Sakr k

Blood Suit ok
How'd I even get 5 likes???
The whole video is a wierd flex but okay
You are So cute
I guess he loves stepping over all the pooh in the streets too 🤣
A 94-year-old Florida woman spent several days in jail for slapping this clown
I dont understand this at all, how is he the first concierge when there is plenty of pictures and evidence of countless hotels even in the 1920's that had such employees?
A concierge is someone who is an expert of the area and arranges local tours/reservations. I did some digging and apparently Europe had such positions before America did. So, front desk person =/= concierge, necessarily.
Understood. As Lemit, apparently there is a distinction. This surprised me, too.

Chief called.....he said this ain't it
Oh shit I didn’t realize it was dead meme day already
You lost me at the gay bar.....
A very cultured man. However, his collar and shirt don't match. This goes back to the time when collars and cuffs were separate from the shirt. It was a mark of poverty if your collar and cuffs did not match the shirt. This is really only of significance to those (very few) who care.
And to think it was made by HRH Prince Charles shirtmaker (check out the shirt he wore on his wedding day) . . .
That hotel looks terribly outdated.
it's historic....
@@kylem1112 Haha, good one.
I pictured such a self-important man to have a better-fitting suit...
Hi
Juan Esquivel Hi
He looks like Micheal Keaton
