This is a question Expensive Weekends

Chthonic says he's still reeling from a trip to a wedding that cost him nearly £600; while a friend of ours hazily presented his credit card to the bar staff in a shady club in the Baltic states. You know how that one ended.

That would be Hotel Grand Marina
I've stayed there. Me and the wife went for our anniversary and we spunked up loads for the privilidge. It was so posh that the bar staff would not allow my pissed up wife to carry her own (last) bottle of wine to our room. We had to be accompanied by a bottle carrying waiter.

I beleive it's a 5 Star Plus, and we had a suite. The bathroom was something else. So huge in fact that I could have quite happliy sat there all weekend just in the bathroom admiring the mirrors, chrome and dark wood surroundings.

We did eat in the restaurant, it was very good. We agreed though not to care about the bill and just stick it on the Diner's Card and let the direct debit take care of it a month later.

We had our share of cocktails and shit. Not that impressed with Barcelona as a whole, but I still remember my time in that hotel as I sit in my stolen hotel robe, with my stolen towel, flicking ash into my stolen ash tray.

Yep, that's the one.
I must say the marble floors in the rooms are simply divine for sprawling on whilst recovering from a monumental piss-up, they are wonderfully cool. Unfortunately, housekeeping don't see it that way and will persist in opening your door when they see you lying there, buck naked, surrounded by pools of barf. After the 3rd time, I actually had to lift my head up and tell them to fuck off, which in actual fact reassured them that I wasn't dead. Boy, did I feel dead though.....

Oh, and the breakfast buffet in that hotel was the best I have ever seen, kinda knocks the £6.99 Travel-lodge into touch.

I've stayed there too
However, the company paid for everything, which made it even better :-)
