It’s pretty doubtful that many of us will shell out the $200,000 dollars for a two-night stay in The Palm’s new Empathy Suite.

Famed British designer Damien Hirst has touched/designed nearly every aspect of the suite, from the giant tank of formaldehyde suspending two sharks, to the butterfly and pill embroidered motifs throughout.

Butterfly motifs are ever-present throughout the suite.
