The hotels 202 rooms and suites already
feature luxury amenities such as Acqua Di Parma bathroom products,
Chinese Tea Sets and a pillow menu, and now the exclusive range of
slippers will be available as a complimentary amenity
within the hotels three Signature Suites: The Shangri-La Suite,
The London Suite, and The Westminster Suite.
For guests
in any of the other rooms and suites, the slippers can be purchased
for 88 per pair.
The slippers are made with
luxurious silk velvet and non-slip suede soles, and are available in two sizes.
The backs can be folded down transforming them into a slip on
