Presidential Suite

$15,000 per night

Twenty years ago, the Presidential Suite at the Plaza was often used as Gourmet magazine's test kitchen.

The 7,802-square-foot suite covers nearly the entire 18th floor of the Plaza, with views overlooking Central Park. The walls are covered in silk, the reception area has a 10-foot-wide stained glass window and the hand-painted piano depicts scenes from the French countryside.

Most expensive hotels

2009-03-26T00:59:00.001+05:00

The other two rivals to Seychelles in the hotel and resort arena are the United States and Fiji. The data is from the magazine's survey of the World's Most Expensive Hotels.The most expensive hotel to stay in the world is MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where a one-night accommodation costs $15000. A Seychelles hotel stay may not be that costly, but accommodation at the Seychelles' North Island and Fregate Island Private resorts are cklose behind.North Island hotel in Seychelles which costs $3217 per night is ranked second by Forbes in its hotel sweepstakes. A secluded resort, North Island has 11 deluxe two-bedroom villas. The hotel's rate includes all meals, which the staff prepares with heavy reliance on the island's vegetable and herb gardens, and drinks excepting premium champagne, although presumably, one paying so much for such a hotel stay after travel to Seychelles can afford to spend some more for some Dom Perignon.

Forward Outrights

2009-03-24T13:20:00.002+05:00

For forward outrights, settlement on the value date selected in the trade means that even though the trade itself is carried out immediately, there is a small interest rate calculation left. The interest rate differential doesn't usually affect trade considerations unless you plan on holding a position with a large differential for a long period of time. The interest rate differential varies according to the cross you are trading. On the USDCHF, for example, the interest rate differential is quite small, whereas the differential on NOKJPY is large. This is because if you trade e.g. NOKJPY, you get almost 7% (annual) interest in Norway and close to 0% in Japan. So, if you borrow money in Japan, to finance the trade and buying NOK, you have a positive interest rate differential. This differential has to be calculated and added to your account. You can have both a positive and a negative interest rate differential, so it may work for or against you when you make a trade.

For those seeking an unparalleled way to experience the idyllic, undeveloped serenity of the island, the resort's self-contained luxury villas are unmatched. For today's traveling elite, it has always been the impossible dream - to have the privacy, intimacy and comfort of a villa (preferably on a private island) and, at the same time, all the facilities of a leading resort.

Classic yet contemporary dishes- fused with Asian and Italian culinary influences- are served with graceful warmth by the personable Caribbean staff. Rediscover nature during one of the horticulture tours or on a self-guided hiking expedition. If you venture near White Bay, you may spy sea turtles feeding near the coral reefs. Spend an afternoon snorkeling or scuba diving (with top instructors based right at the resort) and explore the crystalline waters where life flows suspended in aqueous silence. The 10,000 square foot spa is built on its own secluded beach of flour white sand, 150 feet from the water, close enough to hear the waves and high enough to enjoy the astonishing view, bordered by coconut palms and filled with the ever-changing blues of Caribbean Sea and sky.
