Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI 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.

(21,163 posts)4. I had this boss who stayed at the four seasons on the big island.
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 ive 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!
