CHICAGO: The time a Saudi Arabian guest wanted a 1995 dark blue Chevy and got it shipped home. The time a guest wanted to drop from a helicopter onto the LondonHouse's roof to propose. The time Cleveland symphony members needed to find their way through protest-clogged streets before performing at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. 

All were situations handled by concierges in Chicago. All showed the value of a human touch.
