Dining facilities comprise 14 restaurants?four are open now, with 10 others due to open in the coming year?and a number of plush bars and lounges. A spa and fitness center will also open by the end of 2005. One question remains: Should you arrive by yacht, helicopter or in one of the hotel's fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantoms...
