Princess Maha al-Sudairi, the wife of Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister, charged nearly $24 million dollars at Paris' luxury fashion houses over a year-long period but decided not to pay up and then claimed diplomatic immunity from inside her suite at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+George+V/local/704">Four Seasons George V</a> hotel. Why the Four Seasons? Well, it's partly owned by her nephew, Prince Al Waleed bin Talal, so she's sure to get a good Friends and Family discount on that $4,000 a night rate.But seeking refuge in a family-owned hotel still could not prevent a court bailiff from showing up and threatening to seize her things.

But do not let this carpeting deter you from the rest of the hotel, which is gorgeous.The hotel spends about a million dollars a year on floral displays and they are worth a peek, especially if you can't afford the $1,000 room rate. You will also see the poshest of the posh clientele in this hotel, whether they be flitting through the lobby or taking tea in La Galerie, home to the fugly carpeting.

We do a good job of covering which hotels have what restaurants but sometimes when we actually stay at a hotel, we are just too darn tired to schlep it down to the restaurant. Not to mention that we don't always have a travel buddy with us or a friend in town that we can meet up with.Sometimes, we just like to eat in bed.
