Unbelievable!!!! that’s all I have to say
One year’s salary for one night? I bet they still charge extra if you drink the bottled water in the room.
I like staying in expensive hotel rooms, but my idea of an expensive hotel room is $300-400. This just seems silly.
Why are all the ratings so low?
That’s so expensive. How about the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai? Oh. same here. I’ have not yet stayed in any of those hotels, and even if the list goes to top 20.
