Crazy money, crazy rooms: Presidential suites in Hong Kong and Macau

Presidential suites in Hong Kong and Macau are every bit as tricked out as you would expect from Asia’s financial center and the home of the world’s largest casino.

Red and Blue Rock Star Suites, The Hard Rock Hotel, Macau

Bold scarlet or electric-blue color schemes with rocker-chic touches deck out The Hard Rock Hotel’s 2,210-square-feet Red and Blue Rock Star Suites.

The blue suite has two race car simulators with racetracks from around the world displayed on a 65” flat-screen HDTV. The red suite has a mechanical bull in the middle of a fully padded room. A trained operator is on hand to manipulate the bull. Riders are outfitted in padded suits. Both suites have king-size round beds for players and their posses to pass out on when they are exhausted from all that hard riding.

Peninsula Suite, The Peninsula, Hong Kong

Probably the most secure presidential suite in Hong Kong, the Peninsula Suite was designed according to CIA and MI5 specifications for presidential security. There is direct access to the suite from the hotel’s helipad. A guardroom in the hallway ensures covering fire in the event a quick getaway is needed.

Security aside, the 4,111-square-feet suite has a master bedroom connected to a fully equipped fitness room, study, full kitchen, and formal dining area with a baby grand piano and meeting room. For large entourages, the Peninsula Suite can be extended into a seven-bedroom suite by connecting the remaining rooms on the floor.
