The World's Most Expensive Hotels
Claridges
London
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 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).
