Luxury buildings just don't cut it anymore....
----------------------------------
Super luxury buildings have separate doorman and concierge services. They have white glove uniforms and elevator operators. They deliver mail to the residence’s doorsteps. They have private dining rooms, theater screening rooms and libraries.
“The qualifier for ‘super-luxury’ varies, but many buildings are now providing hotel style service and high-end concierge companies on-site,” says Nick Jabbour, senior vice president of Nest Seekers International. “These services can include shoe-shining, in house valet and cleaning services, assistance with booking trips, restaurants and theater tickets, and handling nearly any request. Buildings are increasingly featuring in-house spas and other pampering services as well.”
For example, 15 Central Park West offers a full restaurant for the residents exclusively, and the Trump International Hotel and Tower at 1 Central Park West allows residents to order from Jean-Georges, situated on the ground level. The ultimate luxury, though, remains a view of Central Park.

Super!
To receive the shoe-shining service do the residents leave their shoes outside their apartment doors?
Are the shoes picked-up by the concierge, valets or the employee delivering the mail to the residents' doorsteps? Are they shined downstairs in a shoe-shining area of the basement?
How long does it take to get the shined shoes returned to the residents' doorsteps?

You get a better shine if you are wearing the shoes.

greensdale: that's now the sub-lux way, although it results in a better shine.

Maybe they have an in-house guywithcat. Sprinkle a few drops of cream on the shoes, leave them outside the apartment door and the cat is brought upstairs to lap-up the shoes to a shiny finish.

A special team of 3 will even wipe your derierre with the softest of chamois, spray it with a fine mist of the gentlest of botanical cleansers & finish up by drying with a 15,000 thread count silk hand fan. No need to call for them; a special sensor in the seat alerts them automatically.

Now what more can one possibly ask for?
