Your protest of one isn't even a blip on the radar screen. The super wealthy individual traveller is few and far between and if they truely are that wealthy they usually pay for the $20 club sandwich if they want one.
In the luxury bracket, I often find a clear distinction between luxury properties (even those in cities) that are recreational properties and those that are business properties - Blakes/Dylan Amsterdam is one example. of a premium luxury hotel that sucks as a business hotel. But even in that type of a luxury hotel on a personal stay, I hate being taken advantage of by astronomical broadband internet prices, etc. BTW, I think you would be surprised at how many people (who are not millionaires) do pay for luxury travel on their own dime.
