Elite Traveler, a worldwide lifestyle magazine aimed at the richest of the rich, has named the Linda Evangelista Suite at the g Hotel one of the 101 Top Hotel/Resort Suites of the Year.
The top suite in one of the city’s most fashionable hotels has now officially become one of the top suites in the world as the Linda Evangelista Suite at the g Hotel is named one of the 101 Top Hotel/Resort Suites of the Year by posh traveler mag Elite Traveler. The 1,292 sqft suite was designed, like the rest of the high-end hotel, by Galway-born hat designer Philip Treacy and was named after his good friend Canadian supermodel Evangelista, who was said to be the inspiration for much of the hotel’s design.
“You’ll adore madcap milliner Philip Treacy’s approach to hotel design,” said the magazine of the suite. “Not limited by convention, his eccentric choices—think graphic zebra rugs and a bathroom in wall-to-wall mirrors—are a glamorous cocktail of high fashion and playful kitsch. The designer’s attention to detail extended right down to engineering the look of the Frette linens.”
The USD$3,863 suite might seem like a pricey endeavour for most but when your list of the best of the best is aimed at the world’s richest money is really no object. The most expensive suite on the list is the USD$52,000/night Royal Penthouse Suite at the Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland. The Royal Villa at the Grand Resort Lagonissi in Attica, Greece follows close behind at USD$50,000/night, as does the Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel New York, the most expensive US entry at USD$30,000/night.
The Presidential Suite at the Ritz-Carlton Powerscourt in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, which goes for USD$7,500/night was the only other Irish contender to be named in the top 101.
Established in 2001, Elite Traveler is an award-winning lifestyle magazine aimed at the extremely wealthy jet-set crowd. It is distributed abroad private jets and mega-yachts in more than 100 countries worldwide to readers whose average household income is more than USD$5 million.
