Life of the Rich

During difficult economic times, hotels - even five-star hideouts - find it difficult to fill their empty rooms. But things are different at the world's most extravagant hotels. Hotels do not need a season they just manage potential customers all the time who are convinced with the kind of deals, facilities and luxury the hotel has to offer.

Sources reveal that, hoteliers claim - demand for their swankiest rooms never fell not even during the economic crisis - and the rates for these rooms actually rose during the height of the global downturn.

Mentioned below are the few elite hotels that live up to the expectations of the rich:
Royal Penthouse Suite: $65,000 per night
Just a short commute to the UN headquarters in Geneva, the $65,000-per-night Royal Penthouse Suite at President Wilson Hotel promises ultra-tight security for high-profile visitors.

Royal Villa: $50,000 per night
The Royal Villa at Athens' Grand Resort Lagonissi sits on a private beach and includes its own heated pool and steam room.
