Take a look inside the most expensive hotel rooms in the world
When it comes to booking vacation plans, the hotel that you select can make or break the trip. So often having a good day of travel requires having spent the previous night relaxed and comfortable.
While for most of us it’s enough to simply have fluffy pillows and continental breakfast croissants that aren’t already stale, the most wealthy and powerful people in the world have higher demands for their hotel experiences.
Spending a night at one of the world’s most expensive hotels can cost as much or even more than the average American makes in a year. Those eye-popping price tags come with remarkable amenities, including private butler services, space for hosting parties, designer goods in the bathrooms, and silk sheets on every bed.
