red carpet treatment
Celebrity-level hospitality
Red carpet treatment is special attention or luxurious hospitality given to someone considered important or honored.
The phrase comes from the practice of rolling out a red carpet for dignitaries and celebrities at formal events: The hotel gave us the red carpet treatment.
It can be used sarcastically when someone expects or demands excessive pampering.
