Visiting billionaires to London have a new address where they can show off their riches with the opening yesterday of the new Shangri-La Suite at the Shangri-la Hotel in London's Shard.
The hotel, which occupies the 34th to 52nd floors of Renzo Piano’s iconic building in London Bridge, last night unveiled the suite, the largest and most luxurious of all its rooms.
For an eye-watering £10,000 per night guests get 2,024ft (188 square metres) of floor space, their own personal lift, 24-hour personal butler service and a private chauffeur on call.
The views, it goes without saying, are priceless.

Designed by Francesca Muzio and Maria Silvia Orlandini the suite also features custom-made furniture and high-grade silk wallpaper. 
On top of that guests get a huge walk-in wardrobe that in many hotels in London would be big enough to serve as a double bedroom. 
A Bose sound system plays music throughout.
A grand marble-clad bathroom with a steam shower and Jacuzzi bath is the perfect place for guests to pamper themselves. 
Specially imported Washlet toilets feature a heated toilet seat and built-in bidet and dryer.

And if you just don't want to leave all this luxury to go to and eat, never fear, you  don't have to. Tailor-made meals are freshly made in the suite’s well equipped pantry by your own personal chef. 
If you can't stump up the cash for a suite at the hotel, rooms at the Shangri-la start at a more modest £450, excluding breakfast.
