There's an existing thread for that question:

Forget it. I stayed in that suite once and there were all sorts of translucent, bright-white animals flying around the room all night. Not only did they spend their time trying to deliver messages but they also drove off the room service guy and housekeepers.

RATE PLAN PRICE PER NIGHT (EUR)
Best Available Rate
Rate Details
7,440 € (x ~1.3 $ to €) = $9672 + the expensive champagne = +$10K
If I book this room, do I really need status?

Imagine what the nor1 options for this room would be?

Some people will make DM without paying a dime... For 2013 I'm going to start staying in Hiltons and Hyatts as well as SPG and IC's.
