Radiant rest
The TownHouse Galleria — nestled on the top floors of Milan’s ornate interior mall, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — has announced a new way to sleep in the lap of luxury. The 46-room residential-style hotel has unveiled new 24k gold bedsheets, exclusive to guests staying in its Seven Stars Ottagono Presidential Suite.
Woven from 40 per cent 24k gold and delicate silk- and cashmere-based yarns, the precious bedding was conceived by TownHouse founder Alessandro Rosso Dubai, designed by Federico Buccellati of the eponymous jewellery house and fabricated by Piana Clerico 1582. The sheets are deliciously soft and, according to the hotel, are meant to restore vitality, courage and willpower, and most of all, amplify positive feelings. For guests who wish to take some of that positivity home, the TownHouse is also offering the limited-edition sheets — of which only 100 sets were made for €200,000 (S$320,000). A small price to pay for courage and vitality, and a good night’s sleep if you ask us.
