Update: We had a picture of the wrong Crown Prince in our original story. We think this is the right one. Let us know if it isn't.

One of our spies recently stayed at the Four Seasons Hong Kong at the same time the Crown Prince Sultan of Saudi Arabia was staying there.

While chatting up the hotel staffers, our spy learned that the Crown Prince, his entourage and security detail:

· Rented out 179 rooms (out of about 400) at $400 a pop
· Had 100 Mercedes-Benzes waiting out front at all times that shut down the road to the hotel
· Traveled with 1,000 pieces of luggage which the hotel had to start loading into cars at 8pm the night before the prince and et. al departed Hong Kong on two private 747s.

Wow. This guy is quite the diva. We are guessing he has a "no brown M&Ms" clause in his rider.

    Where would you stay?

    FYI: "Saudi Arabia's Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, ranked by Fobres as the world's 5th richest man, holds a 22% stake in the Four Seasons Hotels chain..."
