World’s first self-proclaimed gold-plated hotel, called Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake Hotel is reportedly open for business in Vietnam.
Despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, the hotel is plated in 24-carat gold in its lobbies. It also features an infinity pool and rooms with all cutleries, toilet seats, showerheads in gold.
It has 400 rooms and will be operated under the American Wyndham Hotels brand. A room at the room goes $250 (N96,875.00) per night and apartments are available for rent there. Gold for the hotel was locally sourced to reduce building costs.
“We want the ordinary people to the super rich… to check-in. Our group has a factory that can do gold-plated stuff, so the cost for our equipment and furniture here is quite cheap,” Nguyen Huu Duong, the owner of the hotel, said.
