I would expect the price to climb further in the near future. The other aspect of high prices is that it serves as a filter for a certain type of clientele. In that regard the target audience actually appreciates the fact that hotel is doing this in order to keep the place higher class. Americans and Europeans are also driving the prices up globally though in this property they aren’t the majority.
