Price of a hotel room is not an issue for the rich and famous. Let’s take a look at where do they usualy spend their nights.

Cannes, France

The finnest, most expensive room is by my surprise in Cannes, France. According to Forbes Penthouse Suite at Hotel Martinez has a nightly rate of $37,200. Price includes four bedrooms, a private terrace with a Jacuzzi and sweeping views of the Mediterranean. Now, that is astonishing. Thought for sometime now that the Burj Al Arab hotely in Dubai was the most expensive hotel eventhough it’s worth mentioning that in this sail-shapped hotel in the United Arab Emirates the cheapest room costs $10,900.

Penthouse-suite ranging to $25,000 per night. Hardly cheap hotel… What does it offer? 

The penthouse takes up the entire 40th floor of the hotel: 6,500 square feet of interior space, plus 3,000 square feet of balconies and a private pool. It has two master bedrooms, each with a private terrace, and floors of polished black granite. It even comes with its own butler, Andrew Marston, formerly of Buckingham Palace. For The Setai’s highest-rolling guests, “it’s worth the money,” says Jennifer Tseng, a reservationist with the hotel.

According to hotel reservations staff, the suite fetches rack rate from December through March, no exceptions–and it’s booked more than once a month. But during the less popular spring and summer months, the price is flexible, dipping as low as $15,000. (source: http://www.forbes.com/2006/04/19/hotel-super-suites_cx_sb_0420feat.html)

Researching the web there’s no indication of the Celebs being interested in places of historical value like Postonjska jama, Slovenia where they can find a unique Proteus (Proteus anguinus) creature found only in Slovenia. It’s found nowhere else in the world. Then you have Bordeaux, France, a truly amazing city classified “City of Art and History”. What about Salzburg, Austria which is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart hometown not to mention a center place of a Sound of music movie. However world turns around money and the Celebs are a big part of it.

Victoria “Posh” Beckham likes to visit Rome. Or better said extravagantly high-end shops according to Travel and Leisure web page.

However some Celebs prefer New Zealand. One of them is Kate Winslet mostly know from a lead role in the Titanic.

Looking into all of these facts there’s only one conclusion. The Celebs like privacy. Usualy in expensive places, remote from the public eye. Good for them they deserve to have a few minutes out of the spotlight.
