The Hotel also had ways to accommodate guests from very different environments. Gravity in the common areas was relative, each individual perceiving the optimal gravity for their own physiology; the rooms, meanwhile, actually transformed to suit the needs, and even the aesthetic preferences, of their incumbent occupants. Like the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] and [[Interdimensional Casino]], the Hotel recruited most of its staff from “exiles and refugees” who had ended up adrift in the Void. Hence, they were often resentful and unenthusiastic about their job; the service was consequently slow. [[Wendy VII]] theorised that the Hotel's managers must like it that way, as slow service was a mark of class, by opposition to “fast food”.

Hilbert's catered to a high-class, wealthy clientèle. Many came to the Hotel to talk business over dinner, staying the night for pleasure. The [[Queen of the Black Market]], for example, once rented a room at the Hotel nominally to discuss a business matter with small-time crook [[Sylvester Shoebill]], but in actuality because she wanted a holiday.

Hilbert's was inspired by, and named after, [[wikipedia:Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel|Hilbert's Paradox of the Grand Hotel]], a mathematical thought experiment about the nature of infinity. In the name of the paradox, “Hilbert's” is not the name of the hotel but instead references [[wikipedia:David Hilbert|David Hilbert]], the mathematician who came up the paradox itself. The alternative moniker of “the Grand Multiverse Hotel” alludes to the film [[wikipedia:The Grand Budapest Hotel|''The Grand Budapest Hotel'']]. | |||
