See that briefcase full of Rolls-Royce Phantom keys? That's a gift the British luxury carmaker gave to luxury entrepreneur Stephen Hung for ordering the largest Phantom fleet ever. If that wasn't opulent enough for you, all the vehicles come in posh extended wheelbase guise for added lux·u·ry.
The Rolls-Royce Bespoke design department will make the previously mentioned Rollers according to Hung's preferences. Specifically, the guy needs the best there is for his new hotel, the Louis XIII in Macau. Scheduled for completion in 2016, Louis XIII will cover 945,00 square feet of floor area on a 65k square feet land parcel on Macau's Cotai Strip.

Stephen positioned his new project as "the world's most luxurious and extravagant casino," and from the looks of it, the Louis XIII will put Las Vegas to shame in terms of sheer lavishness. When it will be completed, the luxurious hotel will offer 230 fancy duplex suites, 16 villas and 66 gaming tables. What about the name, though? As it happens, the project's designer, Princess Tania de Bourbon Parme, is a direct descendant of Louis XIII, a jolly lad with a moustache that was King of France in the 1600s.

Now back to the most expensive Rolls-Royce fleet commissioned. Each and every of the 30 Rolls-Royces is slightly different from the other to create truly distinctive vehicles. Some bespoke elements include special analog clocks designed and created by Graff Luxury Watches. The two most expensive Phantoms will additionally feature 24k gold-plated external and internal accents. Furthermore, Rolls has helped with designing the driveways and the parking of the Louis XIII hotel. The British marque will train Louis XIII chauffeurs in the appropriate driving and handling techniques of these vehicles as well.

“Macau is rapidly evolving into the luxury capital of the world and we are honoured to have the opportunity to add to Macau’s many distinctions, the world’s largest fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms, including the two most luxurious vehicles Rolls-Royce has ever built. Louis XIII and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars share the same philosophy: to deliver the perfect experience to the world’s most discerning customers,” said Louis XIII Chairman, Stephen Hung. Well, Mr. Hung, prepare to update your hotel's Rolls-Royce fleet in 2017, when the all-new Phantom is expected to make its debut.
