Word of the Day: Sumptuous

I am in the middle of another great W.E.B Griffen novel called The Hostage. I was telling Dad about it too. Anyway, came across the word: sumptuous. It means of a size or splendor suggesting great expense; lavish. Here is the quote from the book:
-------
"See you a little after nine," he said, and walked from the balcony, through the room, and out the door. Charley took a shower. The only word to describe the bathroom was sumptuous. Except for the ceiling, everything was marble. There was both a Jacuzzi and a large shower stall, and a heated chrome rack on one wall held enough thick towels to dry an elephant.

I ate a sumptuous meal last night with my boss before we went out to see his band play.
