The city's most expensive hotel room got the kind of publicity money can't buy today thanks to the Times, which has paired the voyeuristic article with an addictive, 360-degree photo panorama of the bathroom. We've been virtually spinning around in it for the last ten minutes like Julie Andrews on a Bavarian mountaintop in The Sound of Music. The immaculate bathroom in the 52nd story "Ty Warner Penthouse" has a laser in the bathtub to turn the water different colors, a “steam rain” shower with aromatherapy, a crystal sink lighted from within, and a computerized Toto Washlet “smart toilet" that "does everything on your behalf except wipe"—including warm the seat. The butler on hand confirms that the typical guests in the $30,000 a night room are "the anonymous rich who run the world." It's going to be so depressing taking a shower tonight.

For a couple G's you can buy the same toilet for your own home, or get a discount and buy it in Japan.
30k? What a waste.
There are things that are priced well above their intrinsic value all over new york. Gold shavings on a cupcake is one example, this is another.
Anyone who pays $30K for a hotel room has lost touch with reality. I don't care how much money you have.
I have one of these toilets and the ass warmer is sweet......
I am now accepting offers for anyone who is interested in using our exclusive bathroom in the East Village.
For just $12,000, you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sit on my toilet for up to 12 hours, gazing at my incredible shower curtain with a map of the world on it.
You may go #1, #2, or just sit there and think about how privileged you are to be sitting on this incredible toilet made of 100% exotic porcelain.
We just went grocery shopping, so the 7.5 rolls of finely quilted toilet paper sitting directly to your left will virtually guarantee that you do not have to bang on the door and ask for the roll of paper towels in the kitchen.
We are taking reservations on a first come, first serve basis. No couples, please.

For $30k a night that fucking bathroom better give me the best sex I ever will have in a lifetime.
To the rich people money has no value to them.
wow so for 30k the thing has a pretty shitty design. The tub is placed so akwardly I don't think i'd enjoy sitting in there – your back would be either facing the door or facing the window, very odd. Also, who wants to have their soap/lotions sitting in an oddly placed alcove in the middle of the wall, NOT near the sink OR the tub. See this just goes to show – just cus you have money or something costs a lot does not mean you know what the hell to do with it. THUS, give it to the rest of us, we'll fix the economy by spending it, not by lining the pockets of the rich who are just going to put it away or buy another island somewhere in the south pacific.
It looks like a tomb and I just got dizzy and sick looking out at the view from that window...
if i had $30,000 to spend right now i would be a very happy beezbo... sigh
back to the drab walls of my cubicle
That bathroom looks small. It doesn't tempt me.

This is a sure tip-off that the Times is still as left-wing as ever: they're actively sowing the seeds of revolution against the plutocracy. Who can look at that and not want to crack the skull of a CEO?
This is sad considering you can get better views of Hong Kong with FAR better service at the Peninsula for only half the price.
Hong Kong has a better skyline. Sorry, I love NY, but this is true.
You could hire Ashley Dupre to be your toilet and get a room at the Sheraton for well under $30K a night.
wow, second ashley dupre joke i've seen in the past day
this is fairly interesting. the issue about rich people has always been do they hire a servant to wipe their ass for them. apparently now an automatic toilet does it. progress marches toward the future!
The toilets actually cost in the $700's. So you can add that to your holiday wish list. If he truly loves you.
Why don't they just price this suite at 300 barrels of oil per night and be done with it.
