[quote=Anonymous]Just to put in all in disturbing perspective, the Duke Ellington renovation (approximately $200 with the project still far from completion) costs almost as much as the cost of the four-year total renovation of the storied, luxury Hotel Ritz in Paris (rumored cost of EUR 200 million). According to the New York Times, the Ritz project, a complete historic restoration and facilities expansion in one of the world’s most expensive cities, includes total renovation of all of the rooms and décor, restoration of antique furniture and fabricating of reproductions, a new underground ballroom, two retractable roof restaurants, a Versailles-style courtyard garden and a tunnel under the Place Vendome. It seems that the Duke Ellington board took the tune “Puttin’ on the Ritz” a little too much to heart! :oops: [/quote]
