Crazy: It Costs HOW MUCH to Book This Suite Tonight?!
Living Room in the Le Royal Monceau's Suite Lifestyle
So we were thinking…maybe we should just jet off to Paris tonight! Like, why not, right?! Well, there are several reasons why that could be tricky. Flights are expensive, hotel rooms are booked -- but we did find availability at Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris, a seriously luxe hotel a stone's throw from the Arc de Troimphe. We knew it'd be pricey; after all, since its opening, it has been hosting celebrities such as Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway, Josephine Baker, and -- more recently -- Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Plus, a Philippe Starck renovation -- finished in 2010 -- brought a heady mix of art and design, which extends to every corner of each of the 149 rooms, and facilities also go above and beyond most five-star standards, from Michelin-star dining to a guitar in every room, to bespoke art collections and a digital 3D theater on-site. But we were SHOCKED to see just how sky-high the prices really were. Tonight, if you want to stay in the Suite Lifestyle, that'll set you back a whopping $2,500. Which seems like a steal when compared to the $29,000/night rate of the Presidential Suite.
Take a tour of the Suite Lifestyle below and then tell us in the comments section if you think it's worth the hefty price tag >>
The bedroom is in a loft-like space separate from the remainder of the suite.
The grand piano is fitting, since Ray Charles lived in this suite for some time.
The bathroom is seriously luxe, with a claw-foot bathtub, walk-in shower, and Japanese "toto" toilet.
Gourmet minibar snacks are quite tasty, and quite expensive.
At least Wi-Fi and airport transfers come free.
