Fully agree. It seems to me that almost by definition immersion is luxury will insulate one from anything inclined to be life changing. After all most people change only when under stress - precisely what we seek to avoid in luxury hotels!
Although I suppose I have had some travel experiences that have been very mildly life changing - in small ways like challenging my values, preconceptions and prejudices or providing moments of sublime beauty, for example - I can't think of one where it was the hotel itself that was the catalyst. And the more luxurious the hotel the less I expect it to be possible.

I guess I can only agree up to this point.
