Holiday in the House of Sparkle
Booking.com has teamed up with internationally renowned designer and sparkle champion, Christian Cowan, to create the world’s most sparkly, 186-square-metre townhouse called the House of Sparkle located in the fashion hotspot of Soho in central London.
Cowan who has famously dressed the likes of Beyonce, Cardi B and Lady Gaga, is renowned for bringing fun to the fashion world with copious amounts of colour, glitz and glamour.
“My designs typically feature a bit of cheeky humour mixed with a youthful take on how modern day women can dress, transforming them into something truly head-turning. Inspiration for House of Sparkle came from my latest collection featuring shimmer, drama and of course, glamour” says the designer. “I’ve had so much fun collaborating with Booking.com on the townhouse design. This is the first time I’ve channelled my vision into an amazing place to stay.”
Everything from floor to ceiling, including the bedroom, bathroom, closet, dining and lounge area in the four storey, custom-designed townhouse will celebrate all that sparkles. The accommodation embraces ebullience, opulence and shimmer – all said to be emergent fashion trends this season – with a gold glittery frontage, black-and-white checkerboard glitter entrance hall and twisted glittery rainbow stairwell.
The 100-kg of sustainable glitter used in curating the townhouse and 36,000 gold sequins were used to cover the exterior of the property. Approximately two kilometres in length of metallic streamers adorn the interior walls and 52,000 mirror ball facets dazzle in the disco party bedroom.
Available for booking on Booking.com and accommodating up to two guests, those lucky enough to book a stay for the night will be immersed in a sparkle experience. Guests will be able to relax in a lounge dipped in pink glitter or shower in a bathroom amongst blue glittery clouds with giant silver sequin rain installations. A curtain of metallic streamers leads guests into the master bedroom, to a party sparkly world of metallic pinata textures, disco balls and mirror details.
A welcome hamper will be provided full of delicious drinks and snacks plus some sparkly games to get guests in the festive spirit. A selection of Christian Cowan clothes will be available to try on and a makeover station full of the latest shimmery products ensures guests will be given the full glitter experience.
“Who doesn’t want a bit more sparkle in their lives? The House of Sparkle is just one lavish example of the many unforgettable travel experiences customers can enjoy in the more than 5.7 million reported listings in vacation, homes, apartments and other unique places to stay on Booking.com. Surrounded by an extraordinary array of gleam and glimmer, we are excited to offer our customers a stay at the House of Sparkle, which is sure to be an unforgettable experience this holiday season,” adds Pepijn Rijvers, chief marketing officer at Booking.com.
Priced at 99 pounds per night (approximately Bt4,200), this overnight experience is available for just three nights (two people per night) on December 7 to 9.
The House of Sparkle will open bookings for its December 7 stay tomorrow (November 22) at 10am GMT, with the stays for December 8 and 9 availability being released at 10am GMT on November 27 and December 3 respectively.
