The whole point of the article is that this man doesn't stay in one place for long, indeed he is only in one place for a "short period of time." Would I enjoy that life? Not at all.
there has been discussion of lifestyle as well as hotel offerings.

It was basically just a very nice NYC apartment with room service and housekeeping. I don't think the rent was appreciably more than what such a place would cost in a non-hotel property.
we could also take the discussion beyond hotels into other accommodations.
