Sweet suite! I actually know a couple that stayed there years ago right after it opened. They said the constant butler service was quite annoying, like they literally grabbed the purse out of a female guest's hand insisting she couldn't carry it upstairs herself. They did enjoy the underwater restaurant though.
kosher?

I'm actually quite disappointed... 7 star? come on I've seen much nicer/more luxury than this. not saying that it's a dumpster but definitely not the nicest on earth.

@chapshnell time to learn how to use Flickr  ;D
+10. With so many great TRs you would make it so much easier for us AND for YOUR SELF. Just check out SFs thread and do it the right way.....

You can even use Gyazo to copy the picture and get a link. That may be easier.

Same thought here... I guess in the middle east the ratings are home made :)

St. Regis Florence for starters.. Building isnt as tall or modern, but the luxury is amazing. Nicest hotel ive ever been in. Not saying its nicer but the bathroom, bed & decor is for sure looks nicer.

must be high season now, winter it drops to 30k. Sometimes only a slightly better room is available & its slightly more points.. so you need to call in.
remember the name Suite with a Arno River view..

I really dont want this thread to turn into Florence Master thread but if you read my TR you may find some notes helpful.
