Very posh hotels

Like watching these as never going to be a guest.

Anyone stayed in a swanky hotel.

Not stayed at the Ritz but had 'Tea at the Ritz' a couple of times.

I like a good hotel but I do think some of those shown are a bit too over the top sometimes. One thing I would hate is to have my own personal butler.

Re: Very posh hotels

Whilst we could afford to do so, I think paying the sort of prices they charge is a waste of money, which could be put to much better use.

Yes, several times when on business trips. Not worth the money in the main I reckon. Give me a good quality 3 or 4* hotel any day of the week because I almost always find the staff are much much more friendly towards you.

No, I've never stayed in a posh hotel.

Some really posh. But, by contrast, were dives. Just where many of our projects landed.

Could be the jungle in Malaysia or Abu Dhabi.
Taipei wasn't bad..........
