I'll never understand the allure of these "high end" hotels. What do you guys do in your hotels that makes the value of these places so high? I can understand it in a resort with a great pool and maybe beach access but a city hotel?
A comment above mentioned something along the lines of "if you only want a roof over your head" well I ask what else do you want? What do you get from these 5 star hotels?
I read VFTW report for the much loved park vendome and he mentioned it was the greatest hotel he had stayed at but the pictures and description was just one of a basic hotel room.
If you are going to say service please be more specific. What is this service that is worth many hundreds of dollars more?
