The three most expensive hotel rooms in the world

It took humanity a few thousand years to evolve from cavemen and hunter-gatherers to settled farmers and city dwellers. Caves and mud huts gave way to houses, temples and palaces. But it was not until the industrial revolution in the second half of the 18th century that buildings really shot up, cities of millions and skyscrapers came into being. Although people have become more settled, they still like to travel – especially during the holiday season. Then the search for a holiday home begins, a luxury hotel or – if you can afford it – the most expensive hotel rooms in the world. To be on holiday like Madonna, Jeff Bezos and the Rolling Stones.
