The rich pay most of the taxes and use the least services.

It's been almost 9 years to the day since this thread was started. I am not too worried about luxurious play places for the uber-wealthy popping up here anytime soon.

At this point I think my preferred option would be a relatively short (~9 stories max.) modern wing of the Empress Hotel. Totally different architectural style, no connecting wing at ground level. Methinks a hotel would likely be the only option that could possibly sustain a small cafe/pub/something-or-other at ground level. Also, I like this idea because of the potential to have a killer event space on the top floor/roof level.
