The best of needful things is the least the government should have, and intend for all citizens. Aesthetics should always be deemphasized in government.
Anything extravagant should be made available to everyone more or less equally. I suggest a lottery system where every citizen gets 100 tickets, non-transferable. You might spend 50 for a night at the Taj Mahal, 20 to keep a faberge egg for a week, 1 for a meal at a 5-star restaurant (transportation included)...
