Roger Federer has monogrammed pillowcases! Observe:

They keep a special set for him at the Carlyle hotel in New York, where he stays in the 'Roger Federer Suite' when he plays the US Open. For extra opulence, everything in the suite is covered in marble, gold, leopardskin or mirrors.
"Mr. Federer apparently prefers the suite’s second bedroom, which comes with bottles of water and a plate of chocolates." The one below is the master bedroom, apparently.


To be honest I'd be worried about slipping on the marble floor and braining myself on the marble vanity unit or gold plated towel rack.

This... is not a relaxing room.

Roger, I love you but your suite is demented.

The New York Observer says:
The living room (with its white orchid, gargantuan quasi-Picasso and giant shiny black vases), was designed by a musical theater actor named J. Cameron Barnett, whose résumé's skills section lists interior decoration only after "hip-hop dance, knowledge of German, cheerleading jumps, drag.

Oh, Roger. I do enjoy the pillowcase (the other side of the bed seems plain?).
