Milan has a quiet contender: The Town House Galleria. It’s tiny. Only three suites. And one of them costs over $30,000 a night. For that price, you get a butler who is basically a ghost. He’s there, but you never see him. Your shoes get polished while you sleep.
What’s funny? This hotel is inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II—the fancy shopping arcade. So you can wake up, look out your window, and see tourists taking selfies below you. They have no idea you’re up there, eating a $100 croissant. It’s a special kind of power move.
The real treat? The penthouse bathroom has a jacuzzi that overlooks the cathedral. Taking a bubble bath while staring at a 600-year-old church. It’s absurd. And I love it.
