Statuesque: nine companions for rooms with high ceilings

Banking halls and opera houses

Samanta, 174 cm, meets beneath the green columns of The Ned on Poultry and orders with quiet authority; confirm dinner by 3pm. Karolina, also 174 cm, belongs at the Royal Opera House, champagne before and supper after, arranged a few days ahead. Both are natural choices for a dinner or conference evening, where a short note on names and roles is all they need beforehand.

Terminal lobbies

Milena, 175 cm, prefers the Sofitel joined to Terminal 5 and is one of the easiest names to book for an airport overnight. Vanessa, 173 cm, takes the Elizabeth line straight through to the Hilton at Terminal 4, midweek by preference. Michelle, 173 cm, heads south to the Hilton beside Gatwick's South Terminal with a sailing story ready. Airport visits run three hours minimum with travel counted in.

Late rooms in W1

Stacy, 176 cm, takes same night bookings and a seat close to the stage at The Comedy Store. Angelika, 172 cm and toned from tennis, heads for the late set at Ronnie Scott's. Violetta, 178 cm, starts among the shelves at Foyles and finishes with a dry nightcap; her profile shows her next open dates. All three reach West End hotels in roughly 30 to 45 minutes.

A quiet lounge

Patricia, 172 cm with auburn brown hair, is the calm exception. No grand room required: a hotel lounge, tea or red wine, and a bookshop first if there is time. She suits two or three slow hours.

Heels and corridors

Tall women tend to enjoy their height, and most of the nine will happily wear a heel. If you would prefer flats, or the plan includes a long terminal corridor or wet Soho pavements, mention it once and it is handled. None of this touches the fee: one hour is £250 and a four hour dinner date is £900.

Holding a formal evening

Events keep her diary clear for longer, so conference dinners, receptions and anything with a seating plan are secured with half the fee paid early, its travel portion non-refundable. A plain hotel evening with any of the nine is held with 25 percent by bank transfer. Send the venue, the dress code and the time she should be at the door, and the desk confirms the whole plan in one reply.

At a formal venue many guests prefer to arrive separately. Say which you want: she can already be seated at the bar as you arrive, or follow ten minutes behind and find you.

Overlaps

Six of the nine also appear on slim and slender: Violetta, Vanessa, Stacy, Samanta, Patricia and Karolina. Curvaceous claims Michelle and Milena, and Angelika is on toned and athletic. For the other end of the height range, compare petite, then tell the desk your hotel and the hour.
