Sky’s the limit when your pockets are lined with gold. Luxury hotel brand Rosewood knows that, so it’s launching the Rosewood Limited Edition as an alternative to holiday presents for the rich: curated, giftable experiences.
Gifting an experience instead of the usual pair of socks during the holiday season is definitely not a novel idea, but Rosewood takes it and elevates it to the level of art. The full list of curated experiences and the prices will be unveiled on November 20, but we do know this: the highlight seems to be a trip to Paris to customize a classic Jaguar and a deep-water dive that doubles as a treasure hunt for a rare watch.
We told you your pockets must be lined with gold and we didn’t lie. Prices for the experiences will range between $3,000 and $300,000, with these 2 experiences set to sell for $290,000 and $202,000, respectively, according to Departures.com.
For $290,000, courtesy of Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, you will fly to Paris and work on customizing a Jaguar Type E Cabriolet with designer Tristan Auer. Of course, you don’t get to keep the car, but the experience itself will be worth the money, Rosewood promises. It’s obviously not something every Joe can boast of.
The same goes for treasure hunt experience: courtesy of Rosewood Baha Mar, an American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts property, guests will embark on a journey on a mega-yacht and spend an entire day searching for a treasure. That treasure will be a rare Ulysses Nardin Diver 42mm watch buried in the sands on the seafloor.
No word on whether you can keep the treasure if you’re lucky enough to find it but, even if you don’t, you will have plenty of memories to treasure: a photographer and videographer will join you on the dive. This experience also includes a 4-night stay at the hotel’s Penthouse Suite.
“As today's generation of affluent travelers continues to seek the original and extraordinary, we are thrilled to introduce an entirely new collection of bespoke Rosewood Limited Edition experiences to take their adventures to new heights,” Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, says in a statement.
“These curated journeys allow our guests to explore the often unreachable elements of some of our most desirable locations around the world while also providing meaningful opportunities to connect with the destinations and one another,” Arora adds.
Twelve such experiences will be made available on November 20, and you will be able to purchase one or more through to March 2020, exclusively through Rosewood.
UPDATE: Rosewood tells us that the lucky ones to get the giftable experiences mentioned above (the Jag customization and the Ulysses watch treasure hunt) will actually get to keep the respective toys. Also, the offer will be available throughout 2020, so you still have plenty of time to save up and buy one such experience for a special someone in your life. And maybe they'll take you on a ride with the Jag as thanks.
