World’s first hotel made of 24k gold opens in Vietnam (Photos/Video)

A five-star hotel in Vietnamese capital Hanoi has opened with a marquee attraction hoping to attract guests.

Onyxnews Nigeria gathered that the marbles are made with expensive gold-plated bath tubs, basins and toilets, to mention a few, all housed behind a massive golden exterior.

The Dolce Hanoi Golden Lake Hotel has made the extra effort to bring visitors back to Vietnam where the tourism sector is gradually reopening after a three-month COVID-19 lockdown.

The hotel, owned by Hoa Binh Group and managed by U.S.-based Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc, stands in stark contrast to its surrounding weather-worn Soviet-era buildings.

“At the moment, there is no other hotel like this in the world,” said Nguyen Huu Duong, majority owner and chairman of Hoa Binh Group.

He added that, if not for the pandemic, the hotel would likely be fully booked with international guests.

The hotel facilities include a 24 karat gold-tiled infinity pool on the rooftop, while inside guest rooms, bathrooms are laced with yellow metal. From $250 (about N94,000) a night, the hotel is in the same price bracket as rival luxury accommodation in the city.

“It has changed my mind about what luxury can be. Other luxury hotels usually use marble as tiles, but here everything is gold-plated down to the washing basin,” said 62-year-old Luong Van Thuan, a guest who is also a hotel owner in the city.

Vietnam has been relatively successful in containing the coronavirus outbreak with only 350 or so cases and no reported deaths cases so far.
