Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan take newborn baby Palma to another luxury hotel as they stay in £21k a night suite
NEW parents Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are treating their tot to the good life from a very young age after checking into a plush £21K a night London hotel suite.
The couple, who welcomed little Palma to the world in March, recently went on their first staycation with their bundle of joy.
Yet now clearly eager for further special time together, they checked into London‘s swanky Corinthia Hotel, also loved by the likes of Molly-Mae Hague, 25.
Mark, 38, documented their trip on his Instagram page – and showed how the venue had pulled out all the stops to welcome the family.
Staff had printed off pictures of their pregnancy announcement and first images with little Palma, positioned alongside a fluffy Easter bunny toy with a bow bearing the little girl’s name.
Later on, he shared how the venue had adorned a tiny towelling robe with Palma’s moniker in pink stitch detail.
In the clip, Michelle, 37, carried their firstborn into the room while Mark filmed the video and pushed the pram.
In his caption he gushed: “It’s the little touches … special.”
He then captured the pair’s lavish steak and fish dinner before gushing how the venue’s rooftop had the “best views in London.”
NAME GAME
Since Palma’s arrival in March, Michelle and Mark have kept their little one largely out of the spotlight.
Yet former TOWIE star Mark recently told how the couple decided on their baby name – and it had nothing to do with the Mallorca holiday destination.
He discussed Palma’s name as he appeared on This Morning alongside singer Olly Murs, 40.
While fans may have thought the name Palma was inspired by the Mallorcan capital, Mark clarified that wasn’t the case at all.
During the interview, Mark said he and Michelle simply loved the name Palmer, but with a twist.
He told hosts Dermot O’Leary and Sian Welby: “We just love the name, Palmer, with an E-R.
“And then we just liked putting an A on it, which is like the way it read. So yeah, we just love the name, really.”
