I've actually gone the opposite. I use to travel cheap, but now, if I can afford it, I go as ritzy as possible.
That being said, I'm still pretty cheap. I've stayed at nice places but nothing I would nominate as grand or grandest. I'm firmly planted in denial |

I've only stayed at the Parasite Resort on Gold Coast, but I don't think that really counts as luxury or anything  | |

Can't think of a grand hotel I've ever stayed in on my own dime.
Best place I've ever paid for staying at was probably a $50 a night beach-side place on Koh Samui, in Thailand, that had 2 floors. It was Mon's birthday so I pushed the boat out. | |

Lanka Oberoi Hotel in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Royal Lancaster in London, UK Hotel La Mandarine in Saint Tropez, France Residence Riviera Hotel at Le Lavandou, France My ideas of traveling is closer to genuine discovery by sharing the native's life as much as I can. Most of the time I've been a guest: in Asmterdam for example (org invasion 2005... what a wonderful adventure!) Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity | |
