We like luxury hotels but if we are paying $400 for rooms shouldn't they have enough money to update the pictures on their website? Nevertheless, luxury hotels always have woefully bad room pictures on their websites.

Tipster E.T. points to a particularly bad instance of this on the Four Seasons Jakarta website:

Talking about outdated room pics: this really made me laugh - check out the room pictures (superior & deluxe (are the same) and premier) for the Four Seasons Jakarta. Does that scream 1985 or what? LOOK at those bedspreads, yikes!

The superior & deluxe pics win for shadyness (seriously, could it be any darker?) but the guy casually standing in the middle of the premier room is just hilarious. Deluxe FS Exec suites look all of a sudden a little more agreeable.

A-ha! Maybe that's the point. They want you to see the crappy room with 1980s decor and strange men, so that you will pay more to stay in a more modern suite without any strangers.
