The "Bridge Suite" ranks third in terms of most expensive hotel rooms in the world, at $25,000. Even with its large price tag, the suite currently has a five-year waiting list, and requires guests to stay at least four nights in the suite. It is located in the span that connects the two Royal Towers.
This is the hotel's presidential suite, which has ten rooms with more than 5,000 square feet (460 m²) of living space. The Bridge Suite comes with its own butler and cook, and the kitchen has its own entrance so that the staff never bothers the guest. The suite include gold chandeliers, a baby grand piano, and balconies on both sides.
The architecture and décor feature murals, sculptures, and fountains. The Great Hall of Waters lobby has a 70-foot (21 m)-high domed ceiling covered in golden shells, and opens on one side to the Marina. The other side leads to underwater streets filled with fish and Atlantean artifacts. The top four floors of the Royal Towers are known as the Imperial Club.

Most Expensive Louis Vuitton Handbag
In early 2007, Louis Vuitton released their most expensive handbag, the Louis Vuitton Tribute Patchwork Bag. The bags, as the title suggests, were made of samples of different Louis Vuitton bags. The fifteen bags used come from the LV spring/summer and cruise lines.
The gold chain shoulder strap makes this the perfect handbag for the discerning 90s rapper while the patchwork nature of the purse itself suggests that the person owning it may have a rusted truck propped up on cinder blocks in their front yard. Louis Vuitton made twenty-four numbered copies of their most expensive handbags, priced at $45,000 and thhis limited edition purse sold out almost immediately.
