The best luxury I can think of on a trip is space so I guess I'd have to fork over the £25,000/night for the suite. I'm reminded of an article I read 20 or so years ago about the world's most expensive hotels. There was one in New York that was in a similar price range, but wifi was extra.

The Chancery Rosewood...Designed by the Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen, ...

He designed IAD airport as well

Interesting read. My immediate reaction is good for them, they are clearly meeting a specific market demand, and if people have the budget for that level of luxury, why not?

In the article -

I am not really a luxury hotel person. My attitude: I’m not traveling to spend time in the room, so why pay the money? Give me clean, nicely designed and throw in free breakfast, and I’m happy.

Yeah me too. Personally, I'm more of a local café and diner sort of traveler. I definitely have my own level of comfort that I'm willing to pay for - I have also become very fond of aparthotels. But this tier of luxury well above me.
