...furnishings and a butler to draw your bath. Or consider the Enclave at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, with 30 loftlike rooms that start at $375. It's connected to the main building by a 10,000-sq.-ft. outdoor garden and can be reached from an underground valet garage by private elevator. "There's very little signage," says Renier Milan, the hotel's general manager. "Unless you're part of the In crowd, you won't know it's there." The just-opened Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, also caters to customers who demand...
...underway to Wisconsin to become someone new, along with a little help from Soren, the butler assigned by Her Majesty to help out Eddie, as he now insists on being called. Soren, played by British comedian Ben Miller steals every scene he’s in, as the valet learning to adjust to college life.

Sinatra's affair with then underage Natalie Wood; third wife Mia Farrow's annoying him by talking to her deaf cat Malcolm in sign language; J.F.K.'s snorting coke with Peter Lawford; and the Chairman's donning special underwear--"a cross between a panty girdle and a jock strap"--to restrain his massive, uh, endowment. Guess there's such a thing as being too Frank...
Some merchants take it still further. Whirlpool is so enthusiastic about the market that it unveiled a high-concept model laundry room in January called the Family Studio, packed with a whole line of fancy accessories like the Personal Valet, an appliance that simulates dry cleaning by misting a water-based solution on clothes to remove odors and wrinkles; a cabinet that circulates warm air to dry delicates; and a sink with three microjets that mimic a hand-washing motion. The Family Studio can cost $5,000, or more than five times as much as a plain-vanilla washer-dryer...
