This is where the rich and famous stay when they go on holiday.

 

When some of us travel, we’d rather spend our hard-earned cash on things like experiences, or shopping or even a glass of wine (or two) at dinner.

And others?

Well, some others have millions of followers on Instagram and Twitter and need to stay in ABSOLUTE LUXURY because their #travelpics need to be up to standard to get those likes.

If you’re headed out into the big wide world and fancy yourself as somewhat of a superstar (and you are, because we can see you and you’re looking FAB right now), maybe you’re tempted to splurge on a night in a hotel where you may just be able to do a bit of celebrity spotting.

We are here to help: enjoy your list of the fancy-schmancy places that the rich and famous frequent when they head on a holiday.

L’Ermitage Beverly Hills

Yes, most of the biggest names in Hollywood live and work in, well…Hollywood. But that doesn’t mean they don’t need a break from their own 20 bedroom mansions.

Enter L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, located just minutes from Rodeo Drive and has names like Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes on their guestbook.

Rumour has it the staff will even have a bath ready and waiting for when stars fly in to the city at all hours — complete with hand-crushed lilac bath salts from Japan.

The Mark Hotel, New York

When they're not busy attending the Oscars in LA, celebs are flocking to New York for a bit of East Coast snow.

Chances are they were taken at the Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico. Big names like Jennifer Aniston and Eva Longoria are known to stay in the resort's four bedroom villa, and the hotel even arranges special after-hours arrivals so no-one knows they are there.

Qualia Resort, Hamilton Island

Remember that time Taylor Swift booked out an entire hotel on Hamilton Island to celebrate her 26th birthday?

It was THIS place:

Qualia.

Qualia is one of Australia's best hotels - and is ranked in the top 20 luxury hotels worldwide - with stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Miranda Kerr all having booked a stay.

Airbnb

Before you get excited, no, celebs do not stay in your average run-of-the-mill Airbnb.

They stay in places like this New York City penthouse apartment, which will set you back a cheeky $10,000 a night. Ouch.

A girl can dream, right?
