Stefan Selig liked to travel in style.
As he jetted around the world promoting American industry as one of the Obama administration’s top trade officials, he told his staff to book him rooms at luxury hotels from South America to the Middle East — with hot tubs, rooftop decks and gourmet dining.
He rode with luxury-car services, spending $1,800 during a two-day trip to Boston last year. And when he stayed at hotels that were beneath his standards, Selig admonished his staff, complaining about “lousy” accommodations. In a sign of the style he was accustomed to as a wealthy investment banker, he deemed it “unacceptable” that a bartender at a Middle East hotel refilled his assistant’s cocktails with a shot of bourbon and left the “old orange peel and old ice” instead of supplying a fresh glass.
