The World's Most Expensive Hotel Rooms

Claridge's
The Brook Penthouse/The Davies Penthouse
$5,482 per night

The honor, or should we say honour, of the most expensive hotel room in London technically belongs to the three-bedroom Royal Suite of the Lanesborough Hotel, which is 4,500 pounds, or $6,407, a night. However, the suite is being renovated and will not be open until April 2002. So the winner by default is the penthouse suite of Claridge's (there are actually two), and both come with a personal butler.

The Davies Penthouse is a two-bedroom suite decorated in a traditional style, complete with fireplaces, marble fixtures and hardwood floors. The sitting room has a barrel-vaulted ceiling and is decorated in shades of yellow. The Davies Penthouse also has a terrace, and both bedrooms feature four-poster beds and separate dressing rooms.


The Brook Penthouse: Come out here and do your own version of the royal wave.

The Brook Penthouse is designed in an Art Deco style, with shades of mauve, pale oak floors and original 1930s fixtures. The sitting room has floor-to-ceiling French doors that open to a roof terrace, and the suite also has a dining room with its own cocktail bar and cloakroom. Both penthouses are £3,850 (approximately $5,482).

Expensive Luxury Hotel ( Maison Souvannaphoum Hotel — Luang Prabang, Laos )

The small hotel is a boutique French-colonial inspired property that is the perfect place to immerse oneself in the local Laotian culture. A friendly, intimate service offers guests a chance to rest their bones with the knowledge they are being taken care off just like with close relatives. Visitors might be delighted to be located on the street for the daily early morning Buddhist monks’ rice offerings

London West Hollywood

While the official grand opening blowout isn't scheduled to go down until later this month, the NYT had a chance to pop into the London West Hollywood and, surprisingly, christened the hotel with a sparkling review -- a good bit of positive press after the "meh" reviews its much-hyped Gordon Ramsay restaurant has been receiving.
Though the hotel is still partially under construction (the reviewer mentioned the rooftop pool was a no-go zone), yesterday's Times "Check In, Check Out" feature gave props to the hotel's location, acknowledged the "disarmingly helpful" staff and gushed over the rooms:
All rooms have a balcony or terrace, and I woke up to a sweeping view over Beverly Hills. The décor by David Collins Studio is both flamboyant and muted. A wall was covered with parquet veneer and chairs had faux-alligator upholstering, but the colors were washed out, and the open-plan suite felt serene.
Sounds like a pretty sweet night to us, especially since the reviewer got to pass out after delivery from Chin Chin. Yum.
We're sure the night would have been topped off perfectly with a drink in the lobby bar -- but it's not open yet. But the Times promises us that "by fall, when the lobby bar opens, it'll be a scene." We'll wait.
The only guest experience problems mentioned in the piece were noise-related, as the hotel faces Sunset Boulevard (where the loud drunks are stumbling in and out of Whisky a Go Go). Get a room facing South.
We've gotta acknowledge what a great feat it is for a hotel to score a great review in the early stages of its existence (especially during that yucky working-out-the-kinks period after a soft opening). We remember when Thompson Beverly Hills opened and it still had some, uh, issues.
Right now, rooms at the London West Hollywood are starting at $299.

Death Star Hotel Being Built, World Is Doomed

This structure is being built in Baku, Azerbaijan (an ex-Soviet country between Russian and Iran). Now I'm a firm believer in honesty being the best policy, so why they're trying to construct this under the guise that it's to be the "Full Moon" Hotel is a mystery to me. Just come out and say it already, Azerbaijan. This is not a 521-foot-tall hotel with 382 rooms on over 35 floors. This is the end of life on earth as we know it. That thing is going to blow up the damn planet. I, for one, am scared.
UPDATE: False alarm -- just saw the rest of the pictures. Nothing to worry about. Turns out the damn thing is flat. No way is it large enough to house a superlaser that could destroy the planet. However it is large enough to expect a reasonably sized mini-bar in each room.

Most Expensive Hotel The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Peninsula Hong KongPeninsula Suite$5,000 per night

The 26th-floor Peninsula Suite at the Hong Kong Peninsula was built with spooks in mind. Since many of the visitors to the suite are diplomats and heads of state, both the CIA and M15 were consulted on the design to ensure maximum security. While we can't confirm whether or not the room is bugged, the room has direct access to the hotel's helipad for quick getaways, and there is also a security guard's room down the hallway. (The hotel can't reveal what else the CIA and M15 suggested, due to security reasons.) Rent the suite and one of these babies can be yours. Guests of the suite also have access to a 24-hour butler and a Rolls-Royce on standby. The suite has one master bedroom but can be converted to a seven-bedroom spread with adjoining rooms. The rooms are sleek and modern, with double-height ceilings and liberal use of pale, natural materials such as marble and limestone. The windows in the sitting area are floor-to-ceiling and offer views of the city, and the suite also has a fitness room, private study, dining room and kitchen as well as a terrace.

Most Expensive Hotel in Los Angeles

Regent Beverly WilshirePenthouse Suite$7,500 per night

Make a grand entrance here.The Regent Beverly Wilshire is the grande dame of L.A. hotels and happens to be the same age as the Academy Awards--72 years old. Like all things L.A., the Wilshire has recently undergone an extensive face-lift and just last year added the Penthouse Suite. Located on the 14th floor of the Beverly Wing, the 5,000-square-foot Penthouse Suite features three bedrooms, a wraparound balcony, a formal dining room, living room, kitchen and den, and is decorated with contemporary furniture. The master bathroom has floor-to-ceiling windows and two glass-enclosed showers. And, luckily for those times when you decide to use the remote control combination toilet/bidet with a heated seat, there are also remote control operated blinds. One of the perks that come with this $7,500-a-night suite is that it is stocked with your favorite things before you get there, thanks to a pre-stay "interview." "If a guest likes lilies, we will fill the room beforehand," says public relations director Deborah Damask. "And if the King of Swaziland is coming to stay, we will have a direct satellite TV with all of his favorite channels from Swaziland."
