They really splurged. I agree with liola that this holiday seems to be at least a little bit more special than others. I don't think that's the kind of money you'd spend on a normal holiday, not even when you have Deppy money. They're celebrating... something.

Possibly I don’t remember. Either way. I think they should go on more expensive vacations and, you know, make that travel series.

They definitely stay in nice hotels when they travel, but the Aman is another step up. Just compare the room prices for the Aman to the Imperial Hotel, which is where they stayed in 2015. Both are 5 star luxury hotels, but the Aman is much more expensive. Or compare it to the Bellagio where they stayed thus year during their Las Vegas trip. Those hotels are in their usual price range, but the Aman Hotel is like double that.

And while I can't quite think about how much money it costs without making myself queasy I am at least happy for their blissful enjoyment of the trip.

The post also says it’s been called the best city hotel in the world.

Nah, but good for them honestly; it looks incredible, they deserve it, and I’d *absolutely* stay there if I could afford it. (when I went to Japan I stayed in an Airbnb that was £33 a night lol) Those windows! That’s their dream.

I can't see anything about their individual shops on danandphilshop.com ?
