However, a tiny portion of the people in the world have so much money that they deliberately seek out the most expensive, opulent hotel suites available.
Although most of us will never be able to stay the night in one of these luxury suites, seeing what they're all about can be a lot of fun.
Below, we take a look at the five most expensive hotel suites in the world today.
- The Imperial Suite - Park Hyatt Vendome, Paris - At nearly £13,000, a one night stay in the Park Hyatt Vendome's Imperial Suite will cost you dearly.
With its luxurious spa bathroom, high ceilings and unbeatable views, though, some would argue that the expense is more than worth it.
Pampering in the City of Light doesn't get a whole lot better than this. - The Villa La Cupola Suite - Westin Excelsior, Rome - The Eternal City offers up its own fair share of opulence and extravagance for those who want to pursue it, and few places do so more elegantly than the Villa La Cupola Suite at the Westin Excelsior.
At approximately £20,000 per night, the largest suite in Italy - along with its 12-metre-high domed living room ceiling - is out of this world. - The Presidential Suite - Hotel Cala di Volpe, Costa Smerelda, Sardinia - If you'd like to spend a night in the split-level, three bedroom Presidential Suite at Sardinia's Hotel Cala di Volpe, you'd better have £22,000 handy.
Its best feature? A private, outdoor saltwater pool where you can soak away all of your worries. - The Ty Warner Penthouse - Four Seasons, New York City - A one night stay in the extravagant Ty Warner Penthouse suite in New York's Four Seasons Hotel will run you nearly £23,000.
With floor-to-ceiling glass windows, eight-metre-high cathedral ceilings and glass balconies, this I.
M.
Pei-designed suite is unforgettable. - The Royal Penthouse Suite - President Wilson Hotel, Geneva - With a price tag of over £42,000 per night, the Royal Penthouse Suite at the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva won't be a top pick among last minute rooms.
The suite, which occupies the entire top floor of the hotel and boasts bulletproof glass, is a favourite of diplomats.
If you're looking for the grandest last minute hotels, this one should do nicely.
