England Enjoy Luxury At World Cup
Hideaway
If
the England players are not yet convinced that a World Cup
triumph awaits, they need only take in the scene from their
mountaintop hotel in the Black Forest this summer to feel
like lords of all creation. There are majestic vistas of the
landscape near Germany's border with France. Such a panorama
does not come cheap and this must be the grandest base the
national team has ever occupied for a tournament.
England check in to the
Schlosshotel Bühlerhöhe on June 5, 2006 and hope
to be resident there until they leave for the World Cup
final in Berlin on July 9, 2006.
The only occupants will be
the Football
Association party
of about 55 people and staff from BBC and ITV, who hold the
British television rights.
When the status of an
institution has to be measured, cost is a crass and
convenient index. The presidential suite comes in at some
£1,500 a night. It has been occupied by statesmen such
as Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton, which testifies to the
prestige of the Schlosshotel. One frivolously imagines David
Beckham taking up residence in the suite, but the FA says it
may be used only for group meetings. Perhaps, though,
Sven-Goran Eriksson was staking a claim when he mentioned
that he personally needed a room big enough for chats with
his coaching staff.
