Town House, an Italian luxury hotelier, is planning on opening a seven star hotel tentatively called Town House Galleria in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele (pic above) later this year. Seven stars you ask, does that even exist? The answer is yes, kinda. Reuters has Dubai's Burj Al Arab, a hulking luxury sail-shaped tower rising from the Arab Gulf, billed as the only other 7 star hotel in the world. But, according to the hotel's own website it is technically only a "5 star deluxe." In comparison to Dubai's Burj Al Arab which has 202 duplex suites, Milan's 7 star is tiny. Though it has only 30 suites, it will boast it's own private "army of butlers, drivers and nannies." Perhaps maintained to wage battle with Dubai's special-ops "brigade of highly trained butlers." Though the company is keeping mum about the deets and digits, they've confirmed that many-a luxury brand is involved in the hotel (it does, after all, sit atop a Prada store). In terms of cost, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it, and they're not saying anyhow. But a room in Dubai costs US$1,059 so I'd expect something comparable.
