[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As with EVERYTHING - there's those that are worth it and those that aren't.  Some luxury hotels are in fact luxurious.  I stay there.  I have also stayed in your normal boutique hotel before too and loved the experience.

Typically speaking, staying at Rosewood and Amara hotels are indeed luxurious because not only is the room just beautiful, it is also clean.  The hotel itself will be a sight to behold.

If you are truly not impressed with Viceroy's Sugar Beach St. Lucia or Rosewoord Little Dix Bay, I am not sure what to tell you.  I've stayed in both and OMG - it's awesome.  My definition of luxurious is typically boutique places where you can't get x amount of points for staying cause they don't need to give you them!  T

here's also something called value.  I don't think people really understand value - for a price difference of $300, you get the same value but for $500-600/difference you may not get the same value.  So, while I wouldn't shell out for a $700/night place, I would shell out for $1000/night place.  But in general, you are correct - there's not a whole lot of difference between places that are $200 rooms at the same level of hotel brand.  Unless you are staying in Motel 8 which may have bedbugs, your typical room is going to be fine.  I've stayed in places that are considered "luxury" but really aren't so again, note my first sentence.  Not every $1000/night place will be luxury so your blanket sentence is wrong.

Personally, I don't stay at hotels when I can choose Airbnb/VRBO because I have a family.

But you know, these luxurious places are going to be $1300-1600/night and at these prices, there is a difference baby!

I mean, it’s not hard to grasp what luxury resort hotels have to offer. But DC, NYC and Boston all have 4 Seasons that will run you $1300/night. What’s the point of that?[/quote]

First -- many of the guests there are not paying.  Company or client is.  Second -- for them it may not be 1300.  My company had a deal at a fancy Ritz for half the cost people normally paid.  Third, there are a lot of rich people around -- a lot more than you think.  1300 a night is a rounding error.  Fourth, it gets you away from normal people which is something that rich people like.
