Let E be a Hausdorff topological vector space. A subset A of E is a polytope iff A is the convex hull of a finite number of points. In this note a necessary condition for every maximal convex subset of a subset B of E to be a polytope is given. This is related to a problem first posed by Klee [1] for compact three-cells in Euclidean 3 space.
