Dubai and Macau are currently locked in a war of outrageously opulent hotels, and Macau recently tossed a Fabergé grenade in the form of The 13, a luxury hotel featuring 200 rooms, each of which over million is being spent on.‘Room’ doesn’t really do it justice and ‘suite’ isn’t customary in Macau parlance, each room is a ‘villa’, apparently, and the largest - Villa de Stephen (named after the man behind the hotel, Stephen Hung) - is 30,000 square foot.The hotel’s 177 rooms are decorated with elegant Italian style, all featuring large, comfortable beds.

The hotel is near Roma Termini Station which makes this place completely charming.

To give you a sense of scale in similarly absurd terms, that’s the same size as Mark Wahlberg’s entire Beverly Hills mansion. “The team and I put every ounce of creativity and passion we had into this project to ensure every detail was perfect.

The “entry-level” villa, if you can call it that, will be the Villa du Comte, which comes with the following: - 24-hour butler service - Your own private elevator that opens directly into the suite - A roman bath that fits 6 to 8, situated betwixt neo-classical columns under a vaulted baroque ceiling and crystal chandelier and which can be covered over with a - Rain shower and electric bidet toilet (also situated in the stained-glass bathroom) - King-size, velvet-canopied bed with gilded headboard - ‘Diamond Series Furniture' (I don’t even know what that means) - Arrivals and departures in a bespoke Rolls-Royce Phantom The hotel, described as a 'gateway to the refined and remarkable' is expected to be opening its presumably solid gold doors summer 2017, with room prices yet to be announced. Our guests, I believe, will find the result truly remarkable and beyond anything they have previously experienced.” The 13 Holdings has only issued concept images and videos so far (above), but we’ll be sure to update this when photos emerge.

This elegant city oasis dates back to 1889 and throughout its illustrious history has welcomed royalty, dignitaries and numerous celebrities.

The beautifully redesigned 98 rooms and suites offer a luxurious and classical feel with fine fabrics and elegant artwork, where you can relax in comfort.
