I read the call to boycott hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei

These include:

The Bel Air in LA
The Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills
The Dorchester in London
45 Park Lane in London
Le Meurice in Paris
Principi di Savoia in Milan
The Taj in Dubai

The cheapest rack rate for any of these is $1200.

I feel confident saying I will be boycotting all of these hotels for the foreseeable future.

Ditto what I would pay for a week is what one rich person pays for a night. kimbutgar Apr 2019 #2
$1200 a night is for the poor rich. The rich rich pay a lot more. defacto7 Apr 2019 #3

I had the went Oahu not long after and for what I paid for a week was what it cost him for one night at the four seasons . He died peniless in debt. I still manage to keep my head above water. The times i’ve been fortunate to stay at a four star hotel on an expense account, I found the mid budgetary hotel was just as good. Four seasons is so over rated!
