A recent scandal in Israel reveals some smart hotel tactics.
At any case, this was presumably a qualifying rate...;)
The State Comptroller Office’s report, one of the most important in its history, was off when it determined that Barak slept in a bed that cost €2,500 per night. The truth is that the price was much higher. Members of the defense minister’s delegation to Paris wanted a suite that costs €1,800 per night.
Hotel officials, who sensed they are negotiating with an especially generous and anxious client, bumped the price up to €2,500 per night. However, they had another demand – obligation to a six-night stay.
And so what if Barak only needed four nights? In practice, the State of Israel paid a total of €15,000 for Barak’s room, that is, €3,750 per night.
The highest I could find online was around €1000 per night.
