Here’s how the staff at Britain’s wildest hotel know when a hen party on the top floor went with a bang.
It isn’t just the half-empty bottles of vodka in the toilet, and the broken stiletto shoes over the floor.
It isn’t even a question of whether the bow-tied male stripper, or ‘butler in the buff’, went home with a satisfied smile and a hefty tip.
What the clean-up crew look for, revealed The Grand Party Hotel (BBC1), is a puddle of fake tan in the Jacuzzi. That’s the surest sign of alcohol-fuelled, pre-nuptial excess — a dozen shrieking women guzzling Prosecco in the hot-tub, in a kind of bridesmaid soup.
The Shankly Hotel in Liverpool offers sheer class dipped in glitter with a plastic cherry on top
For revels like these, only the swankiest venue will do, and the Shankly Hotel in Liverpool offers sheer class dipped in glitter with a plastic cherry on top.
Every party suite doubles as a dormitory with six, 12 or even 24 beds. Think of it as a Christmas office do with no escape.
You and all your colleagues could drink yourselves into a stupor, then collapse into bed without ever leaving the room.
And the decor! This is what the Palace of Versailles would have looked like if they’d had leatherette and spray-painted polystyrene in Louis XIV’s day.
