...with her signature, handbags from Versace and Chanel and Prada, her monogrammed pajamas (these were in Burrell's bedroom), crockery bearing Charles' crest, more than 3,000 photo negatives stored in a carrier bag, including some of the young princes William and Harry in the bath, a letter Charles sent Diana on their 13th wedding anniversary "with lots of love," a computer disc detailing her personal accounts, a ceremonial sword, "One Lilac Dress with Beige Hanger and Cellophane Dust Cover," 13 cards and letters that "Mummy" wrote William, including one that begins "My darling Wombat." The bric-a-brac...
...bathroom really isn't just one room anymore. The walk-in steam shower with water-gulping multiple showerheads--"a human car wash," one builder calls it--has supplanted whirlpool baths for hydro hedonism, although oversize tubs are still part of the picture. The toilet is also in separate quarters, as are the dual sinks and vanities, which can lead into the closets, which can have separate exits to the hallway so early risers can avoid disturbing a sleeping spouse. Now add chandeliers, imported European fixtures and enough Italian marble to make a bishop covetous, and you've got an idea...
...BEST BATH For the full body experience of the hammam, or Turkish bath, head for the 300-year-old Cagaloglu Hammam, whose roster of famous guests ranges from Florence Nightingale to Tony Curtis. Segregated baths for men and women. Kazim Ismail Gurkan Caddesi, 34, tel. +212 522 24 24 BEST KEBAB Meat-lovers can rejoice at Kosebasi Levent (pronounced Koshebashi), where Bill Clinton took his daughter Chelsea on a recent visit. Don't bother with a menu, sit back and let your waiter make the choices. Camlik Sokak, No. 15/3, tel. +212 270 24 33 BEST MUSIC Toward the Galata...
...weirdest public bath I've found in Tokyo is located hard by the railroad in Kabuki-cho, the famous red-light district. I was intrigued by its position when I stumbled upon a mention of the Green Plaza Shinjuku in a magazine, but grew alarmed at the cheesy, basement entrance. I ascended to the 10th floor, and was relieved to find the 24-hr. spa clean and respectable. Moreover, it features a real gem on its roof: the rotenburo, or outdoor bath. There's something gleefully luxurious about floating in a steaming hot bath the size of a small swimming...
...beer chaser after your bath, there's the Hanezawa Beer Garden in Hiroo. Built on an old estate, the torch-lit outdoor bar is the ideal place to sit and sip an ice-cold brew under the stars. From there it's a quick cab ride to the sleek new Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, one of the city's shopping and restaurant hubs. The hotel features 21st century touches (web-enabled flat-screen TVs) and stunning views as far as Mount Fuji. Did I mention the marble baths...
