Kim Kardashian announced a few days ago that the bathrobes at Atlantis, The Palm in Dubai are so luxurious, that she actually kept hers when she stayed with them! Erm… we don’t quite know how to react to this unabashed filching of hotel property. But in case you’re eager to find out what exactly makes these robes so special, then here’s the inside info: especially made for Atlantis by luxury French linen brand D. Porthault, these robes were processed over 10 months and their Aqua colour, exclusive to the resort, makes them a helluva lot more tempting. With two style to choose from (Kimono is Kim’s favourite) the robes cost an impressive USD 306 and feature cote de cheval weaving with green piping on the chest. The list of loyal clients in love with these robes reads like an entire Hall of Fame: Charles de Gaulle, Sir Winston Churchill, Jacqueline and John F. Kennedy, Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, the Duchess of Windsor, among a host of others. Whew! The hotel is now offering its guests a stay in Kardashian’s favourite signature suites from 2572 USD per night (Staying dates: Until 21 December 2016). Each guest will receive 680 USD to spend around the resort—but if you’re thinking of pulling a Kardashian and keeping the robe, well, the Atlantis IT and security team have held urgent meetings to plan the development of the latest Atlantis app ‘Find My Bathrobe’, anticipating a rush of robe collectors descending onto the signature suites! Now this ought to be interesting!
