We suggest not leaving for more than fifteen minutes because the room runs you roughly $833 an hour. We were able to tour the Royal Terrace Suite, the largest (2,000 square feet) and priciest of the six glorious Manhattan penthouse suites. Alas, after careful consideration, we have come to the decision that we definitely do want to live in one, and we'll even settle for the $10,000 a night Edwardian Suite. How we'll make that happen? We aren't quite sure yet.

The Setai will probably end up being THE luxury hotel in San Diego and by luxury hotel we don't mean the kind that our parents and grandparents like. No, we mean the kind that we like. The standouts at this hotel seem to be its suite offerings. There are 37 suites--17 of those are one-bedroom suites and 20 are luxe suites which come with full Italian kitchens, Miele and Sub Zero appliances, full living rooms, balconies, private bedrooms and baths.

So was the Irish <a href="http://www.independent.ie/travel/travel-destinations/weekend-away-dukes-hotel-london-1345838.html">Independent</a> who gave it a pretty favorable review over the weekend.They recommend booking the penthouse room if you can. It's 700 square feet of luxury with a 7 foot bed and a view over the park from a private balcony. With a rack rate of £1,100 (it's almost too scary to convert that, but it works out at almost US$2,200), the penthouse isn't for everyone, but it's always nice to dream.Dukes is getting press right
