Big B’s magnificent king size suite at Macao during IIFA 2009

Amitabh Bachchan is the brand ambassador of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards and therefore well deservedly he is always allotted the best suite in the hotel that hosts the celebrity guests of the event. It is now learnt that this year it is to be no exception either.



The IIFA Awards this year are being hosted by The Venetian, Macao and just like its sister property The Venetian in Las Vegas, The Venetian Macao is also a Renaissance Venice-themed property featuring famous landmarks from Venice with over 3000 suites. The best of them all has been specially kept reserved for Mr. and Mrs. Amitabh Bachchan. It is on the seventh floor having its own private swimming pool, patio and lawn. Reportedly the suite contains three master bedrooms with each bedroom having its own steam, sauna, exercise and massage room. Interestingly, the bathroom is entirely operated by gadgets. There is a switch that ensures that the collapsible pot is opened. Then the second switch washes you after your use while the third one dries you up. And funnily, the last switch powders your backside.

When Big B made his visit to Macao earlier this month for a promotional activity, he stayed at that very same suite. He was mightily impressed by the luxurious facilities it offer him but at the same time he was overheard saying that, “It needs a golf buggy to take me from the bedroom to the bathroom. It is really far.”
