Future WiFi Hell in the World's Next 7-Star Hotel?

Finally stepping up to the plate and competing with the one and only 7-star resort in Dubai, the Italian Stallion Townhouse Hotel Group arrives on the star-studded map. Once a hotel has this high a rating, it's hard to even compare. And how could one find similarities between the space-ship designs of Dubai with the classic look that the newest addition to the mega-luxury hotel world which will be in the ol' Roman city of Milan?

Luxury-Travel blogger explains how the two hotels although both absurdly expensive and luxurious, simply won't compare:

The hotel is on Galleria Vittoria Emanuele, an elegant shopping arcade between La Scala opera house and Milan's cathedral. There is currently only one other 7-star hotel in the world - the huge Burj Al Arab tower in Dubai - but Town House Galleria will be much smaller, with just 30 suites. The hotel is owned by the Italian Town House group that already runs several small hotels in Milan and Turin.

Townhouse Hotel Groups have been around for awhile and already have several hotels in Italy and an Absolut Icebar. But none of these have the deluxe accommodations that the 7-star will have once it opens this December. Yet let us not forget that this 7-star is in effect a sort of made-up ranking. And when this hotel group is bragging about lobby WiFi and rooms having their own bathroom, we're sort of curious as to what these guys have in mind to make this hotel so much better than anything else.
