HOTEL
ITEMS
WORTH STEALING
Back in the day when things were a lot less sophisticated, and thieves settled for less, hotels lost a lot of towels. These days
there’s so much more to want from a hotel as they spend lavishly on art, decor and wine. While no one in their right mind
would think about lifting any of these objects, there’s no prohibition against coveting. Here’s what you may want to pay closer
attention to next time you pass through Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Saigon and Taipei.
The staff may look twice if you were to try
pass off the ‘Isidoro’ vintage-travel-trunk-
style minibar as your own luggage when you
leave this plush Vietnam hotel. A prominent
feature in the Saigon Suite, the hotel’s top
abode, the Pelle Frau® saddle leather Isidoro
is a vintage luggage-inspired bar designed
by Jean-Marie Massaud for Poltrona Frau
(entrusted by prestigious car manufacturers
such as Ferrari with the upholstering of their
interiors). The stylish item has transformed
the guestroom minibar into a chic
conversation piece.
