The bed is surprisingly comfortable and the linen is five-star hotel quality.
The most expensive as well as the plushest of the restaurants in this lineup, La Braisière looks like a solid, ambitious restaurant in the French provinces: nicely spaced tables, crisp white linen, comfortable furnishings.
Fresh breakfasts are delivered to guests' doors each morning, and rooms are airy and comfortable, with soft linens and cozy comforters (no cramped cruise-ship quarters here).
Ties come in a wide range of fabrics and finishes from sleek silks to comfortable cottons and linens, typically done up in "plain," "twill" or "satin" weaves, as well as more complex "jacquard" and closely spaced "repp" weaves.

That Mr. Schnattl is monomaniacal when it comes to food is evident from the decor, which is clearly an afterthought: his small restaurant in a residential neighborhood is a no-frills affair -- albeit a comfortable one, with crisp linen, good wine glasses and classic Viennese wainscoting painted an unconventional pea green.
All have quality linen and extremely comfortable beds, plus plasma TVs with DVD players.
The comfortable tables are covered with linen tablecloths, but place mats are squares of paper toweling.
The downstairs library, where Saint Laurent and his entourage gathered and regathered during the 70's and 80's, contains comfortable chairs covered in white linen, more paintings -- Mondrian, Warhol -- and big vases of Casablanca lilies.
The lodge is rustic with unpainted walls and stone floors, but small luxuries such as a copper bath and white linen make it comfortable and the views are mesmerising.
