I've had exactly the opposite experience working for pharma companies, I've never once been able to book my own hotel. The idea of even asking just doesn't exist.

And my point isn't that all companies have this policy (most small companies don't, as we'll get to later in a fascinating aside) but simply that big chain hotels like Crowne Plaza try to attract giant corporations that DO, with huge volumes of daily coast-to-coast room bookings; eg. companies that have offices in many cities and are constantly on the go-go-go.
