$147,000 per hotel stay for wealthy travellers
“Our readers are spending on average $147,000 this summer on hotels, resorts and spas, and in a typical stay, they take two suites and two regular rooms to accommodate their party,” said Douglas Gollan, president and editor-in-chief of Elite Traveler.
Gollan added, “While $10,000 per night might seem like a lot of money, the fact is flying in private jets runs around $10,000 per hour for long-range private jets. For our readers, spending $10,000 is like buying a Starbucks coffee.” Elite Traveler identified 14 suites in the US and around the world that cost more than $10,000 a night.
The lifestyle magazine called their findings the “101 most decadent suites in the world.” It included in New York City, the Presidential Suites at the Four Seasons ($15,000) and The Mandarin Oriental ($12,595) both qualified.
