What a bottle of water really costs at luxury hotels

436 luxury hotels where guests, the hotel's own site or its menu say water wasn't simply free, in the last 24 months. Prices first, most expensive at the top; then every hotel where guests say they paid or were rationed without giving a price. Each line shows its quote, source and date. A single guest report is labelled as one; a hotel's verdict still needs two independent sources.

Room price band: $ under $250 · $$ $250–499 · $$$ $500–999 · $$$$ $1,000+ a night, from Kayak's 12-month average nightly rate, or estimated from the hotel's "from" rates. How we band prices
