The city of Sydney will be home to an intriguing landmark, as the city will be home to the largest brothel in Australia. The building is really an existing brothel undergoing a remodel. However, the finished product is going to be a three story, 40 room resorts that will be the largest of its sort in the land of Oz. This brothel is located in a residential district, and the neighbors aren’t terribly happy about its presence.
Suites accessible in renovation
The number of suites available at the resort in Sydney, Australia will double with the $12.7 million renovation. An extra floor of very luxurious suites will be added as well. The main difference between this building and other hotel renovations is that this building will likely become, according to MSNBC, the largest brothel in all of Australia. There will be two bedrooms with king beds, a spa and pool tables in the brothel, called Stilleto, on the third floor. There will be seven of these suites. Overall the renovations will increase Stilleto’s 20 room capacity to 40.
How the neighbors feel
MSNBC reports that Stilleto is there for “lawyers, movie stars, accountants and professional athletes.” A three story brothel in the neighborhood makes some neighbors mad. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, there are residences next door to the Stilleto who oppose the prospect of people arriving and leaving at all hours of the night. The neighborhood security will be tightened though with security guards on the building grounds, which does help ease this anger.
Prostitution in the world
Prostitution is only legal in eight counties in Nevada in the United States. Wikipedia reports that other parts of the world look at it differently. In most countries that allow it, the trade is not regulated and brothels are illegal. Every person involved must be 18 or older in Italy where brothels are not allowed although the trade is. Whether or not Ruby the Heartstealer got paid before she was eighteen by Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi has not yet been decided. The Christian Science Monitor reports he is in legal battle with it right now. There are few nations where prostitution is legal and regulated, since it is illegal in most of the world.
