C'mon, it's vacation time - why not splurge a little?. As in the Ty Warner Penthouse at NY's Four Seasons Hotel. From the WSJ:
The suite has sweeping views of Manhattan in every direction, bathroom sinks made of solid blocks of rock crystal and a personal butler on-call 24 hours a day. Guests have the use of a Maybach or Rolls-Royce--with driver, of course. Room service from the hotel's restaurants, including one run by celebrity chef Joël Robuchon, is included in the price and nearly unlimited (though one guest was charged for a $1,000 order of caviar).
Oh, and did I mention the waterfall? It flows over semi-precious granite from South Africa, and employees scrub down the stone to make sure the water falls evenly over the rock. Ty Warner, by the way, is the hotel's owner (made his big money from Beanie Babies). The suite is only occupied about 25 percent of the year - and no discounts.
