For many, the opportunity to stay in a five-star hotel is a lifelong ambition.<\/p>\n

But it turns out the pinnacle of holiday accommodation isn’t even the best out there anymore.<\/p>\n

The Burj\u00a0Al Arab hotel, a luxurious complex\u00a0in Dubai, claims to be the world’s only ‘seven-star hotel’, setting customers back an eye-watering \u00a317,000 per night.<\/p>\n

YouTuber Drew Binsky, who boasts a whopping 5.75million subscribers on the platform, took on the unenviable task of trying out the unique accommodation.<\/p>\n

The hotel, thought to be the world’s third highest, is the most famous in this playground for the super rich.<\/p>\n

Although official star ratings only go up to five, the Burj hands itself two more to show how much better it is than the rest.<\/p>\n

Mr Binsky and his partner explored the huge hotel, which features 199 exclusive suites,\u00a0six restaurants and a 24-hour butler service.<\/p>\n

He made the most of some of the Burj’s most lavish draws, saying: ‘Check this out. This is the bathroom, and the shower is literally golden.’<\/p>\n

YouTuber Drew Binsky, who boasts a whopping 5.75million subscribers on the platform, took on the unenviable task of trying out the unique accommodation<\/p>\n

The suite, perched many stories above the ground, included sweeping views of Dubai’s sprawling metropolis.<\/p>\n

The influencer then headed down into the lobby which he said reminds him of Austin Powers, boasting\u00a0blue and white patterned walls and grandly decorated carpets.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, gold was the overwhelming theme of the hotel and Mr Binsky sampled some of the Burj’s most glittering food and drink items during his stay.<\/p>\n

He sipped on a ’24 karat’ cappuccino, costing $40 (\u00a330) a cup, which boasted real gold placed on top of the foam, before chomping on a meal which appeared to have dry ice rising from the plate.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber finished off the video by posing a question to his wife: ‘So babe would $160,000 a night to stay here?’<\/p>\n

‘I can’t,’ she replied regretfully.<\/p>\n

Mr Binsky’s stated price for the suite was perhaps slightly exaggerative, given reports suggest rooms are available for the relative bargain of $24,000 (\u00a317,000) per night.<\/p>\n

Viewers soon took to the comments to weigh in on the debate as to whether or not the lavish hotel was worth it.<\/p>\n

One said: ‘Rather spend that amount of money travelling parts of the world, where there are beautiful sceneries.’<\/p>\n

Another added, ‘It’s a rip off,’ before suggesting: ‘Also you can invest this kind of money. You can start a business with $160k. Buy a house for $100k and remodel it for 60k. Resell it for $300k and make $140k profit.’<\/p>\n

A third posted: ‘Wouldn\u2019t pay that. Rather just get an rolls royce and sleep in it.’<\/p>\n

And another said: ‘Looking straight out of the 90’s in the worst way. They need to renovate this hotel ASAP.’<\/p>\n

The hotel tends to host the world’s wealthiestbusinessmen and celebrities, rather than your typical tourists so it’s not a decision many of us are likely to be confronted with any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For many, the opportunity to stay in a five-star hotel is a lifelong ambition.
