Most expensive hotel room in world at $30,000-a-night
This hotel suite cost $50 million to build. It took six years to complete. It rents for $30,000 a night.
This is the Four Seasons in New York. The suite is on the 52nd floor with views in all directions, reports USATODAY.
“While a few casinos upgrade high rollers to posh suites with official rates about that level, never before has a hotel actually charged customers such a high daily sum — at least not in the US,” the newspaper says.
“The suite is just the latest in an explosion of $15,000-a-night-and-up suites at top city hotels worldwide — an arms race of sorts that just in the past six months has seen the opening of a $22,000 complex in Tokyo and a $19,600 suite in Moscow (both at Ritz-Carltons),” the newspaper adds.
Amenities at the Four Seasons include bay windows with skylights in all four sides, as well as a library and spa. The walls are made of straw, hand-laid by an artist in Paris at a cost of $1 million.
