From our article you will learn about seven-star hotels. Officially, the hotel rating system ends with five stars. But in the world there are several hotels that are usually called seven-star. Why is that? Often this is either a beautiful description made by journalists or the marketing move of the hotel itself. Although when looking at the rooms it is sometimes very difficult to disagree with the title “seven-star hotel”, as the level of luxury in them is just off scale. So, let's figure out where such hotels are located, why they are good, why they are so valued. In addition, we will consider the cost of accommodation for the night.

For accommodation per day you need to pay from 42 thousand rubles per person. The building of a seven-star hotel in 1884 was built. Previously, it belonged to the ruler of the Principality of Hyderabad, who was the richest man in the world at that time. That is, the word “palace” in the title can be considered justified.
In the fifties of the last century, this building was abandoned, and it has already been bought back in the two thousandth. Restoration work began in 2010 under the leadership of Princess Ezra, the first wife of VIII Nizam Hyderabad. It was thanks to her that the palace was recreated in all its splendor.
