豪华的住宅
Example from 现代汉语规范词典
-------------------------------------------------

Editor: I reckon "luxurious" is a pretty good definition. Like 豪華, it applies in a wide range of contexts, describing furniture, cars, buildings, decorations etc. See examples below.

In contrast, words like "majestic" and "extravagant" are only suitable in a limited range of contexts ("extravagant couch"? "majestic car"?)

Why write a none-word definition if one word does the job well?

Ex.
在豪華真皮座椅環繞
surrounded by luxurious leather couches

開豪華轎車
drive a a luxury car

豪華裝潢
luxurious interiors

位於市政府附近的豪華劇場裡,
In a large, luxurious theater not far from city hall,

小時候,金門駐軍超過十萬,沒有電視,全島人最豪華的娛樂就是野台電影。
When Dong was a boy there were over 100,000 troops stationed on Kinmen. There was no such thing as television, and the most luxurious entertainment for most people was outdoor movies.
Diff:
# - 豪華 豪华 [hao2 hua2] /luxurious/
# + 豪華 豪华 [hao2 hua2] /luxurious/extravagant/(of buildings, equipment, etc) grand/majestic/splendid/
