The world’s most expensive suites

The Lanesborough, London: £31,200

Throw in chandeliers, handmade furnishings and 18th-century oil paintings, "and the effect is palatial".

A brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom picks you up on arrival in London, and a butler will attend to your every whim. But living the high-life doesn't come cheap.

A night in the Royal Suite will set you back £31,200 not including breakfast. Visit Lanesborough.com.
