Yes, these people will happily pocket your cash

Are you part of the mega-rich? Do you lie awake at night, worrying about what to do with all those $100 bills which are currently acting as stuffing for your mattress? Yes? Then fret no more, because we have found the package for you.

The understated-but-seriously-swish 51 Buckingham Gate, neighbour to the queen, Taj property and purveyor of pawsh BBQs, has teamed up with Harrods for their imaginatively named Harrods at 51 package.

As you might surmise, it’s pretty bling. The package consists of three nights B&B accommodation, a chauffeured Jaguar to Harrods, £100 gift card, 10% off stuff from the Food Hall, membership to the “Harrods Rewards” loyalty program and an invite to their personal shopping service. Oh, and they’ll throw in a cocktail-n-canapés reception in the evening for when you come back exhausted from flexing your little manicured fingers all day long.

The price of all this? From £550 ($915). A night. Ie, £1650 for the package, which will certainly make your mattress a little lighter. But nice as the hotel is - and the reviews on TripAdvisor, though there aren't many of them, are pretty superlative - this seems a bit excessive. You can get a room for £228 as it is, so you’d have to put in a lot of effort at Harrods to make it worth it.

And if you’ve got that sort of money, you’d probably be at Harvey Nicks anyway. Word on the gold-paved street is that Harrods is a bit nouveau, dahlings.
