Luxury is no longer only embodied by important possessions like cars and houses, it is now found in the small details of everyday life. A few months ago, the deluxe version pizza served in a New York restaurant left people perplexed:its price of 2,000 dollars was certainly justified by the noble ingredients it contained – caviar and gold leaf, among others – but hard to imagine spending such a sum for a few minutes of gustatory pleasure. A comparable eccentricity is now offered by a Townhouse Galleria hotel located in the Italian city of Milan:the luxury establishment indeed offers its customers to spend the night... in sheets of gold! No, it's not an image:the bed of the 7-star Ottagono Presidential Suite is indeed covered with sheets woven with 24-carat gold threads (40%, the rest is made of silk) ! Located on the 3rd floor, the suite offers "a breathtaking panoramic view" of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, one of the oldest shopping malls in the world.
A little extra:a permanent guard stands in front of the door to ensure the safety of the resident (or that of the sheets?), as indicated by the site Metro . The linen, with natural golden reflections, was designed by the jeweler Federico Buccellati and was designed by the company Piana Clerico 1582, a company specializing in the wool industry since the 16th century, as its name suggests. What prestige! To stay one night in the 7-star Ottagono and have the “chance” of rolling around in these sheets worthy of the Tales of One Thousand and One Nights, you will have to pay €5,492.70. But for those who don't have time to waste, it is possible to directly acquire the gold bedding set – 4 pillowcases, a sheet and a duvet cover – for the modest sum of… €200,000 ! We hope that at this price, baby nights await us until the end of our lives!
Finally, we like our pretty floral cover from Ikea...
