Bridge Suite at Atlantis Hotel, $25k per night?

[albiats]

This was reported in a Compuserve article as the most expensive hotel room in the world. It's the Bridge Suite at the Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas and it costs $25,000 per night. Checkin time is 2pm and checkout time is 11am.

This is a copy and paste from the article that lists some of the more important amenities that come along with it:

$25,000/night: Atlantis Bridge Suite in The Atlantis, Paradise Island in the Bahamas
This 10-room suite that is decorated in red, black, and lots of gold is actually located on top of a bridge, overlooking the entire resort and marina. Amenities: Butler, bar lounge, entertainment center, 12-foot ceilings, hand-painted linens, marble baths, and dolphin bathroom fixtures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The article didn't specificly mention that you would get pool and beach privileges, but I would imagine that the Butler would know how to get you some of the wrist bands.

I'm just astounded by this room rate. If you break the cost down to the hourly rate for the 21 hours in the first day (2pm to 11am) it would be $25,000 / 21 = $1190 per hour. Not sure if they have a resort tax on top of that or not. Also not sure if I could sleep for 8 hours knowing that it was costing me $9520 to do that. No idea who stays there at this price, but on a Historical Harbor Tour shore excursion, we were told that it's a favorite of Michael Jackson.

Our family vacationed at Atlantis a few years back and none other than his "Airness" Mr Michael Jordan was occupying that suite-he didn't even invite us in to take a peek around,can you believe that I have heard he is or was a part owner at Atlantis,but don't know if that is accurate info.

I saw the suite on a story on The Travel Channel. I think it said they comp it for high rollers from the casino. It looked like a neat place. Don't think I'll ever be in it....free or paid. I'll stick with my secret portholes.

There recently was a one hour special on the discovery channel called Atlantis: the Lost Empire. It did say that was the going price for that suite, and that M Jordan has stayed there.

This one hour show was really neat. It gave an overview of the building and design, and also showed the water slide that goes through the shark tank.

If i see that it is going to be on again in the near future, i will try to get a post out here so that anyone interested in watching it can be aware that it is on TV.

Maybe if you get everyone on the ship to throw some money in a hat, you could all share the room...that would be one way to get in to see it...What a trip that would be for the Atlantis!

Anybody know if they accept AAA discounts for that suite?

GoofyDisney:

I don't know if they take AAA, but I think that very room went for $17 with Priceline last week.
