One night in some of these suites costs more than a new car. This documentary counts down the ten most expensive hotel suites on Earth, ranked by their best-supported current nightly rate, from a rooftop penthouse beside Tower Bridge to a two-floor Houston penthouse with its own basketball court. Along the way: Damien Hirst's shark suite in Las Vegas, a bulletproof floor in Geneva, the Royal Mansion in Dubai and a whole floor above Victoria Harbour.
