It is made of salt, it is like a museum. You can sleep in a bed made of salt bricks, you have the desk made of salt bricks, you have the floor made of salt, everything made of salt! It’s the biggest salt flat in the whole world having a stretch of twelve thousand kilometres. Here’s where everything begins. We select this location in the hill so we have a really nice landscape of the salt flat. Here in the hotel we are in a high altitude. [Dario Lora speaks to the chef in Spanish – At altitude around 18 to 20 minutes and 8 to 10 minutes at sea level.] All the salt that we use in the dishes came from the salt flat. One of the biggest challenges we have is the rainy season is because the weather destroys all the salt bricks. Hotel Booking. In this lesson, students will listen to someone booking a hotel.

When you arrive at a hotel, you must check-in at the reception or front desk.
The check-in process can take awhile since the receptionist has to find your reservation, request payment for the room, and then inform you about the hotel's policies and procedures. You are also given a key to your room at this time. Hotels often distinguish themselves by the services they offer. Fancy hotels often have a concierge or porter to help you with a variety of tasks. They can help you get a taxi, make reservations at restaurants or plays for you, and give you advice about the city. In smaller and cheaper hotels, the job of concierge is done by the receptionist and a doorman, who opens the hotel doors and car doors for you. These are nice services, especially after you've been traveling, but they're not free. In your room, there may be a single or double bed, depending on how many people are staying there. If you're lucky, there may even be a mini-bar in your room.
