Arabian Luxury at the Qasr al Sharq

If you're becoming a fan of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection of hotels--think back to our hype on the La Quinta Resort last week, also a part of this group--then we've got another deal for you that's just a touch more exotic.

Over in Saudi Arabia, the Qasr Al Sharq or Palace of the Orient hotel in Jeddah is also a member of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection. It's an exclusive place of just 46 suites and they're offering a four-night package at the moment which pretty much fits the idea of staying in a palace.

For just over US$5000, you'll get four nights in a junior suite and on your way into Saudi, VIP arrival at the airport--that means you get to skip the main customs queue and then get whisked away by limousine to the hotel. On arrival you'll get Arabic coffee, juices and dates (we presume they mean the edible kind and not a selection of men or women to choose from); a butler-served breakfast is included each day and you'll also get a personalized guided tour of old Jeddah.

There are a bunch of other cool packages being offered by the Waldorf-Astoria Collection right now and we were pleased to see that these even include a deal at the original Waldorf Astoria in New York, if heading to Saudi Arabia is too far for your long weekend.
