This Belfast hotel is selling bottles of water for €37
YOU THINK YOU understand luxury? You never understood luxury.
The Merchant Hotel in Belfast – the home of the world’s most expensive cocktail – has just launched Ireland’s first dedicated ‘water menu’.
(Who just whispered “The boom is back”? We heard you.)
The menu features 13 different types of water from countries like Fiji, Finland and Iceland – the cheapest bottles start at £4.95 (€6.99) while the most expensive retails at £26.45 (€37) for 750 mls.
The hotel has also appointed two new ‘water butlers’ who will help guests choose the water that will complement their food and wine.
And what’s so special about this €37 water? Well, it’s iceberg water, from Newfoundland.
It’s said to have a “smooth and neutral” taste, just like water! Imagine.
