In the glamorous world of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, luxury isn't just a lifestyle—it's a way of life. From opulent mansions to world class hotels, these ladies spare no expense when it comes to lavish cast trips. Of all the franchises the Beverly Hills ladies are blessed with the most diverse destinations and lavish stays. Let's dive into the top five most expensive hotels that the RHOBH have graced with their presence, along with some memorable moments and unique features of each property.
#5 Chateau Ventoux in Provence, France
As the Housewives pull into Chateau Ventoux Lisa Rinna remarks, “It’s like Downton Abbey but in France!” Erika Jayne said “I have never felt so rich.” And that’s a big statement coming from the wife of disgraced lawyer Tom Girardi who stole over $50M from his orphaned and injured clients.
This 9 bedroom, 9 bathroom mansion, built in 1612, sits on 17 acres between vineyards and orchards. This Hosted Villa comes fully staffed to satisfy your every need. The house includes a media room, formal dining room, breakfast room, billiard room, and many other spaces to explore. The Chateau grounds are even more impressive with an olympic sized swimming pool, pool house, badminton court, great lawn, and beautiful statues dotting the landscape. With its historic architecture, lush gardens, and sweeping views of the French countryside, it's the epitome of luxury living. The chateau rents around $6,000 per night and requires a three-night minimum stay.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 showcased the “Lucy Lucy Apple Juice” drama which caused Lisa Vanderpump to leave the franchise and Ken Todd to shout “Goodbye, Kyle!” Camille Grammer and Denise Richards were planning to come but wildfires in Malibu destroyed their homes causing them to miss the trip. This unfortunately left us watching “Hi, I’m Teddi” Melloncamp for the whole trip.
During their stay at Chateau Ventoux, the other Housewives indulged in a private wine tasting experience, sampling some of the region's finest vintages amidst the breathtaking beauty of the estate. Chateau Ventoux hosts exclusive vineyard tours, where guests can explore the estate's sprawling vineyards and learn about the winemaking process from expert vintners. Here, the Housewives took advantage of the wine, having 6 or 7 different types and getting rather intoxicated.
#4 Hotel De L’Europe in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Welcome to Yolanda Foster’s home country! The girls visit Amsterdam for the season five cast trip. Amsterdam is one of the most talked about cast trips of any franchise. Between the Kim Richards and Lisa Rinna fight and Brandi Granville slapping Lisa Vanderpump, this is the most drama filled cast trip.
While in Amsterdam the ladies stay at the Hotel De L’Europe. The hotel has been operating since 1896. In the 1950s the hotel was frequented by Alfred Heineken who fell in love with its grandeur and eventually purchased the hotel. It is still owned and operated by the Heineken family.
Since RHOBH stayed at the hotel it had undergone a full renovation. Yolanda stayed in the Royal Penthouse suite, which was a full blue motif during filming and has been redesigned with calming earth tones. The suite goes for $9800 a night and can be expanded from one bedroom up to five.
The restaurant, Werck, where Lisa Rinna infamously smashes a glass on the table, unfortunately closed. There’s a good chance it closed because too many people visited trying to recreate the scene!
#3 Waldorf Astoria Berlin, Germany
Situated in the heart of Berlin's historic city center, the Waldorf Astoria Berlin sets the scene of the luxurious season eight cast trip. With its sleek design, world-class amenities, and unparalleled service, it's a favorite among discerning travelers seeking the ultimate in sophistication.
As the ladies check in they are greeted by the general manager and staff with drinks. They usher Erika up to the Presidential Suite on the 31st floor, the highest suite in the city. The suite has views of the entire city, including the Berlin Zoo. You can watch the elephants and giraffes from the soaking tub. The suite takes up the entire floor totaling 3,000 sq ft. The Presidential suite rents for $13,000, but you can enjoy the Waldorf Astoria deluxe king room for $300.
Erika hosts a private dinner for the group in the Presidential Suite. The executive chef prepares a special menu for the ladies. Unfortunately the women of Beverly Hills are known for being picky and all but Erika refuse to eat veal that is served to them. If you stay here, take advantage of the private dining in the clouds above the city, just make sure you tell the chef your dietary preferences.
#2 Atlantis, the Palm Hotel in Dubai, UAE
Towering over the iconic Palm Jumeirah island, Atlantis, the Palm Hotel is the epitome of luxury. With its stunning architecture, world-class amenities, and breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf, it's no wonder the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills chose this Dubai gem for their season 6 cast trip.
The Atlantis is known for its awe-inspiring underwater suites, offering unparalleled views of the resort's vibrant marine life (or in Eileen’s case a diver). With floor-to-ceiling windows looking directly into the Ambassador Lagoon, guests can experience the magic of the ocean from the comfort of their own luxurious accommodations.
The hotel has everything you could want to do. LVP and Kyle went to Dolphin Bay for swimming with sea lions which is a great activity if you love animals and are adventurous. My choice would definitely be going to the Awaken Spa and relaxing in a warm bath with rose petals. If you have kids along check out the aquarium if you can’t get enough of the underwater views.
You can book a night in a typical room at Atlantis for $800. The Underwater Suite that Eileen and Lisa Rinna shared goes for $10,000 a night. The Grand Atlantis suite, that Lisa Vanderpump and Kyle stayed in, is larger than most people’s homes. This luxury suites boasts 4,600 sq ft of living space and comes with a private butler. This amazing vacation will cost you $14,500 a night.
#1 Casa Alar at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa
For season three’s first trip the Beverly Hills housewives traveled 90 minutes north of Los Angeles to the coastal mountain town of Ojai. The Chumash Indians who settled this area believed it was a “vortex” that concentrates energy. Today this thriving town has many art galleries, restaurants, shops filled with local artisans, and honey and olive oil tasting rooms. It’s the perfect weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles.
The Ojai Valley Inn is a historic hotel built in 1923. This famous hotel is focused on wellness and enjoying nature. The resort offers guided bike tours, horseback riding, golf, a spa, and aerial yoga. Relax outisde out at the various pools and take advantage of the spa treatments.
If you like privacy on your vacation then stay at the resort’s private villa. As you pull into the gated driveway of Casa Alar, the cypress trees lining the tan stucco facade make you feel like you are in Tuscany. The sound of the fountain sets the tone of the relaxing atmosphere. This is the largest accommodation on this list at 10,000 square feet. The villa has 5 bedrooms which leads to the classic housewives bedroom fight about who has to share a room. This villa is all about privacy. The house is fully staffed and has its own private spa with a pool and jacuzzi. You never have to step foot on the rest of the resort if you don’t want to.
A night at the Ojai Valley Inn runs around $800 during the summer months. Casa Alar is $15,000 a night and would be a great group accommodation for a special event or wedding.
If you are going to travel like a housewife, the Beverly Hill Real Housewives are the best to emulate. A night at any one of these hotels, whether you take the deluxe queen room or an entire mansion, is sure to be a night to remember.
