Versace Plans Stylish Dubai Hotel

27/04/08

"Would you want to live in a home entirely designed and branded by Versace?" asks the Times correspondent. If it is in Dubai then you can expect a resounding yes. For if any city in the world where opulence and extravagance has become the norm, then that city is Dubai.

The fashion house will open a hotel in Dubai in June next year, with 169 private flats attached – every inch of which will be designed and furnished by Versace! Palazzo Versace Dubai will be style in the grandest manner possible.

"Hand-cut mosaics will line the floors of each individually designed flat. The communal spaces will have giant aquariums full of fish imported from the Red Sea, temperature-controlled flooring that stays at a constant 20C ... and an underground car park with spaces large enough for your Roller or Bentley. There is also an ingenious underbeach cooling system to ensure you don’t burn your perfectly pedicured feet on your way down to the sea. "

And it gets better.

"Each residence comes equipped with everything from cushions and cutlery to water glasses and bed linen. The larger ones have a private cinema, a library and a sauna – and, in the case of the most expensive, their own mosaic-lined 26ft x 13ft pool, spa bath and outdoor terrace. About 90% of them have views of the creek that runs through the heart of Dubai; the remainder look out onto the manicured water gardens. "

Soheil Abedian, president of the Sunland Group, the Australian company developing the resort, even has the audacity to arrogantly show-off: "This is where you can eat from a plate that costs $350, then have a bath and emerge into a bathrobe that costs $3,500. Living in a Versace condo is an experience only a privileged few will have.” The actress Kate Hudson will be one of them, having apparently bought a 2,210 sq ft flat for £2.23m."
