With the summer approaching it is time to think at parties and what more fun and exclusive choice but to a pool party? But if you want something to amaze your guests can opt for a pool with a whirlpool for two plans. It’s called Luxema 8000 and is a creation designed by SPAmbient, Slovenian company specialized in luxury baths. The idea is to combine the pleasure of a swimming pool with a Jacuzzi for two external layers, the upper one, where you will find the pool, and the lower to relax amidst the bubbles of the Jacuzzi. Not only that: there is also space for TV and a bar area where you can sip a refreshing cocktail. The pool is a dream for many and is both a symbol: the best villas can not be defined as such if they have a nice outdoor pool. Then there are the internal ones, the design, those from the most extravagant: many models to choose one that best suits your needs. Same goes for the hot tub: in this case the best brands in the world, primarily Jacuzzi, offering ultra-luxury models alongside more traditional ones, including those suitable for outdoor use. Luxema 8000 combines both. It is certainly not the only outdoor hot tub, since there are other models including those equipped with TV and stereo, but its characteristic is to be on two levels. The property is huge with a total weight of 1500 pounds and a capacity of 10 thousand liters of water. In particular make sure the pool is split on two levels. In the upper one is a small pool, not the size of a traditional but just enough to get two strokes and that, thanks to a series of water jets, can swim upstream. At the lower level there is the hot tub instead of six of nine seats operated water pumps, and with 130 separate jets. On the wall that divides the two levels there is also a television screen with audio system and DVD player, while on the opposite side to the outside entered a bar where guests can place to enjoy a drink and chat dry. The manufacturer ensures that every Luxema can be customized by adding items as needed. Even the price is on request (and measure): the basic models of smaller outdoor pools start at 26 thousand dollars and will include a swimming pool. The only care is to have space for holding the tank.

Time is pressing for the closure of the Hotel Ritz in Paris. In a few months because the symbol of luxury hotels in the French capital, located in the historic Place Vendôme, will close its doors for a long restoration of 140 million euros. For 27 months approximately 600 employees including carpenters, stonecutters, plasterers and upholsterers will put his hand to the historical areas of the hotel to give him a “refreshed” for excellence. The details have been confirmed dala Bouygues Construction has won the contract for the redesign and will have to renew an address known to the world of luxury. When he got the news of the closure of the Ritz in Paris many were surprised, mostly for the decision to close an address among the most sought for those who want to spend a holiday (and not only) in Paris. In reality the choice, even drastic, comes at a decisive moment, that the hotel’s relaunch. Owned since 1979 by billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed, the hotel has always retained its magical allure of state rooms and refined, and local level altissmo restaurants, spa and beauty where you unwind from the stresses of everyday life. Here have myths and legends of the fashion world and beyond, but the hotel was also known for a tragic event that has marked the history of the last year. The night between 30 and 31 August 1997 from there embarked on their last trip to Dodi al-Fayed and Princess Diana. Since then the hotel has lost its charm gradually, until it reached the lowest point last May when he denied the category “Palace”, the highest award instituted by the Ministry of Tourism for the French luxury hotel. Only four were awarded the title: the Bristol, the Meurice, the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome Plaza-Athénée et a. Nothing for the Ritz in 1998 was elected “the best hotels in the world”, but that was excluded last year for “state neglect of the hotel over the last ten years.” Now you must give a new life at the Ritz: like other large luxury hotels including the Hotel at 15, place Vendôme will renew itself and try to return to its former glory. Bouygues Construction, which will handle the work, has its good cards such as work at the Paris du Four Seasons George V, the Grand Hotel Intercontinental and the Hôtel de l’Hermitage in Monaco. Under the direction of the architect and the decorator Didier Beautemps Thierry W. Despont will create a new summer restaurant, the suites will be increased and will enlarge the ballroom. At stake also about 450 employees who will stay home for 27 months but, according to the French press, should be summarized at the end of the work.

A new seven-star hotel but as you’ve never imagined. China is ready to impress with the construction of the Intercontinental Shanghai Shimao Wonderland, a huge structure of ultra-luxury that will open by the end of 2014 or early 2015 and boasts a unique feature: that of being below sea level. The project was presented some years ago and was born the idea of ??enhancing Tianmashan an old quarry, about 30 km from Shanghai: thus, the hotels, designed by London-based Atkins, will have the first three floors above sea level, the remaining hand will be under the sea level, created inside the cave. The project is not only ambitious, but spectacular: a 60-meter glass structure will recreate the effect of a natural waterfall. The InterContinental Shimao Wonderland is a more than ambitious, designed to reshuffle the cards in the field of tourism and luxury reception. It is well known for the passion of Asian skyscrapers silhouetted against the sky: the best or most exclusive hotels extravagant quasti come to touch the sky, stretching more and more. The idea of ??Shimao Shanghai, the company that is building the Wonderland, is more or less the same but the opposite: instead of climbing up the resort will fall down. This is not the first example of a hotel under the earth, but is the most ambitious so far we had seen the old mines turned into hotel rooms for a particular stay, but not a whole structure down to earth. It is the same shape of the site that gave the idea to the designers who have studied how to best enhance the surrounding environment. So next to the hotel from 380 rooms on 19 floors, of which only three including the spa above the sea level, there will be a huge theme park from 428mila sqm. The hotel will grow to 100 feet deep down: the two lower levels there will be a restaurant, a sports complex where water sports and a tank about 10 meters deep. Perhaps most impressive feature is the huge glass structure created from 60 meters to recreate the effect of a waterfall, while the cliffs on either side will be designed for bungee jumping and rock climbing. The project is truly colossal, as the cost: at the moment stands at 555 million dollars, but given the ambition, and will rise by much. At the moment we know that the opening is planned between 2014 and 2015 at a cost of about $ 320 per night: for how will we still have a little ‘patience.

We are accustomed to speak of luxury homes by soaring prices and a list of “infinity” of rooms, but when it comes to luxury anything is possible, how to spend $ 21.8 million for a one bedroom apartment. What’s happening in Tokyo, in the exclusive district of Minami-Azabu: Here is “The House”, the apartment record as the most expensive in the world for the type of a bedroom. This is not strictly a classic studio: the house has more rooms, but only one bedroom which is the yardstick of the houses used overseas. In any case it is a dream apartment with one bedroom but that is as good as a palace. When we speak of prestigious properties we usually think of stately villas with five, six seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. As a rule, these are houses with huge gardens, swimming pools, tennis courts and libraries are often, but even the most “classic” apartments have a long list of rooms including bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms. There are those who have a swimming pool at home, the apartments of celebrities with works of art hidden, with game rooms, libraries and private cinema and then there’s “The House”. The difference lies in the type: there’s only one bedroom, a lounge, a kitchen, a bathroom and two small bathrooms, a dressing room, lounge and seating areas all for $ 21.8 million. The price is primarily due to location, in an exclusive district of the capital nipponica, but also the size: it will be a one-bedroom apartment, but occupies about 412 square meters. In addition to the bedroom So here are also a Habachi style kitchen and lounge, plus a lounge where you welcome guests for a dinner or a small sitting room for tea, a master bathroom and two smaller baths. There is a huge bedroom which leads to the dressing room, even if it is reductive to call it that since there is space to store 200 pairs of shoes. Along the flat has a large balcony that opens in the garden terraces for relaxing outdoors. To make it so “precious” the apartment, the interior and furnishings, and custom-designed Cecotti Collections. Italian design style and also in the walls, doors and floors all imported from Italy. In addition it is home to the works of the famous Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju painted directly on the site: it will also be a bedroom, but it is a dream home.

To celebrate this historic milestone, the chef, along with Franck Cerutti and Dominique Lory, has designed a menu to which you add the celebratory dish riverasca inspiration, the result of the chefs from around the world born of Ducasse at the school, and a special dessert, the baba rum as a Monte-Carlo.

The secret is the exaltation of truth in all products without compromising them, seeking primary source inuna constant search for high quality products, sublimated in their essence.
