The Cheapest Rooms at the World's Most Expensive Hotels

by Kristine Hansen

What does "affordable" mean when you're Richard Branson? We sifted through some of the world’s priciest properties and looked at a resort’s or hotel’s lowest rates (not necessarily the penthouse or presidential suite, of course, which are always more expensive than standard rooms) to see what the most "basic" overnight stay in one of these not-at-all basic properties would be like. From Sir Richard Branson’s private-island resort in the British Virgin Islands to a posh safari camp in Botswana, here’s the cost of entry at some very elite hotels.
