5 Most Ourageously Expensive Hotels

All of you probably dreamed of spending the night in an obscenely expensive hotel room, filled with tasteful decorations, amazing room service and a superb view.

Besides that, you get everything you would expect in a high end hotel and more: a grand piano and dining area, a library, an office room and a boardroom. The bathrooms come with opulent marble baths with separate rain showers and a private sauna. The room is definitely designed to accommodate even the pickiest customers with its non-allergenic foam pillows and access to the Club Lounge with five daily food and beverage presentations.
If you don’t want a suite, you can definitely go for the most luxurious room, the 680 square feet executive room with a really calming Japanese garden atrium view.
