Very wealthy hotel guests hate rip-off prices and having to wait for anything. Not unexpectedly, they also want their food and drink needs anticipated. Those were among conclusions from a Small Luxury Hotels of the World survey. The survey revealed that the very wealthy do not like being disturbed or ever hearing the word “no” in response to their special requests. They also want inconspicuous service. The survey found that at least a quarter of the guests of Small Luxury Hotels are multi-millionaires. The average expenditure per couple during a three-day stay was likely to exceed $2500, but that could easily rise to $7500 for suites. Report by David Wilkening
