Majorca House of Glamour and Glitter for Sale on eBay


For those of you who are easily impressed by gold, glamor, glitter and gadgets, here is a home that has all this and more. Located in Majorca, Spain and belonging to prince and talk show host Karl-Heinz Richard Furst von Sayn-Wittgenstein, the 10,700-square-feet living space is available for sale on eBay ( later edit : it seems that the auction was deleted or closed ), for the sum of $28,000,000. The golden residence was inspired by the creations of Lugi Colani, a renowned German industrial designer whose works have a rounded, organic form. More than 1,230 square feet of 24-carat gold are said to be a part of this opulent residence whose appearance definitely has a strong effect. Moreover, you are looking at a home that is overrun by technology, as all the appliances are remote controlled. The six entrance doors featuring Swarovski crystals, the generous outdoor pool and statues complete this home’s image of a luxurious and flashy crib. So…love it or hate it?

An Icon of Avant-garde Architecture: The New W Barcelona Hotel



An icon of avant-garde architecture, the new W Barcelona Hotel rises high above the Mediterranean, in one of Spain’s most appealing cities. The massive building was envisioned by modern architect Ricardo Bofill and decorated by Charles Farruggio. A unique display of color and comfort, the 473 guest rooms invite tourists worldwide to have a taste of opulent contemporary Spanish living. Here is a welcoming description provided by the hotel staff: “Located along the famed boardwalk La Barceloneta, the launch of W Barcelona brings an unprecedented sensory multiplex of entertainment, recreation, culinary delights, nightlife, and hospitality to one of the most exciting European destinations. Enjoy unparalleled views over the Mediterranean and Barcelona shoreline, while our Whatever/Whenever service makes your dreams come true. Unwind at Spain’s first Bliss Spa, indulge in our signature restaurant BRAVO by Carles Abellan or cool off at WET. Energize at SWEAT®before ascending into Ignite Group’s Eclipse rooftop bar and get caught up in the DJ’s beats that pulse into the blue horizon”. We casually invite you to a virtual photography tour and are looking forward to your thoughts on this new shoreline Barcelona hotel.
