After a long flight, there's nothing like stepping into a hot shower. After a long anything, in fact, there's nothing like stepping into a hot shower. At the Coeur d'Alene Resort in northern Idaho, I step inside the ultimate hot shower. It has 18 shower heads that spray my body from head to toe in a synchronized dance of hot and cold, hard and soft. Each head, wrapped in a blue, handblown glass escutcheon, has been custom-made by a glass artist. A silver spout above my head pours a firm stream of mountain water over my shoulders.

After five minutes inside, 250 gallons of this mountain water have enveloped and massaged me into what I can only compare to a post-coital stupor. And it has all happened at the touch of a button, choreographed by a computer programmed to relieve my stress.
I am left with the question: Would I pay $100,000 to have this experience every day? And, more to the point: Would you?
