World's Sexiest Penthouses From Hospitalitynet.org

This article taken from CondeNast Traveler on the concierge.com website is presenting the top 11 Penthouses around the world.
I found this article pretty funny but still it is showing that luxury can be and have no limits! Rates are down as 648$ per night in Milan up to 11,215$ in Hong Kong.

From 2,000-square-foot terrace in Miami at the Raleigh Hotel to a tub with champagne bubbles in Vegas(of course...) to the presidential suite at the Intercontinental in Hong Kong with its five bedroom duplex, even the toilet room has a view!

I believe that people who have that kind of money to spend on one night are expecting more and more luxurious things and always new, original concepts to tell and compare with their friends!
I was surprised not to see Paris coming up in that list...

The Financial Impact of Hotel Spas



The article is demonstrating the popularity of spas in hotels and resorts.
To have a spa in a hotel is like a requirement now, like having a restaurant or a fitness area.
I think that having a spa is a great financial asset for the hotel revenue as well as a marketing asset. As said in the article, an effective planned spa can improve a property's RevPAR.
I believe if the spas area is well planned and if you know there's a need for that service, it will definetly add to the hotel value.
It's also a trend, people are now a lot more concerned about their well-being (physical-mental) so, for example a massage is something that people are looking to do on a trip (business as well as leisure).
Adding a facility in a hotel like a spa can have a positive impact on the overall performance, like higher room rates, occupancy.
