World renowned artist Damien Hirst has unveiled the most expensive hotel suite in the world - a snip at $200,000 for a two night stay.

And the opulent room at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas is enough to take even the wealthiest high roller's breath away.

The Empathy Suite is a Sky Villa designed by and features the weird and wonderful works of English artist Hirst.

The 9,000 square-foot, two-story hotel suite features many original pieces from some of Hirst's most notable series.

These photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show how guests will feel like a celebrity during their stay in Sin City.

So ugly I’d never be able to sleep....although I suspect sleep is not on anyone’s mind in this suite.

$100K per night?

I must be a real skinflint, because I cannot imagine any way to justify spending that much money for a place to relax and sleep.

I guess I’ll never know the pleasures of having more money than brains.

For 200,000 you can buy a house and stay there permanently.

Hideous is more like it.

Tacky would be a vast improvement.

Dead fish in formaldehyde.

Noise echoing off every stone surface.

A bathroom that will bash your head open if you slip.

Giant Band-aids on the windows.

Class envy is killing me now.

No hotel room on earth is worth that much.

My late Wife’s Uncle was moderately wealthy. I would guess in the 100 million neighborhood but definitely not in the billions.

He used to get free trips to Vegas with a lot of comps. He would take advantage of them but not do any gambling. After a few years they left him off the list.

If I read it correctly, the bar is filled with medical waste products.

Sounds like a great time. NOT

It is ugly. The throw pillows are all very ORDINARY. The butterflies everywhere look like something picked by a six-year old on a whim. Someone has confused “art” with attractiveness, IMHO.

You may recoil from his “Art”, but Damien Hirst is a first class marketing genius. Check out his net worth, how he manipulates the auctions to see how he’s shafted the art establishment massively in his favor. Never thought I’d say it, but “Respect!”

In the last week or so I’ve had to start disabling my ad blocker to view DM, which is a colossal pain. Their ads are overwhelming. Anyone else noticed the same thing, or is it me? I’m running safari.

The comments at the link are not kind.

I could not get past what looks like the giant spiders in the bedroom rug.

And the butterflies everywhere, and the dead sharks?

The place is cold and sterile and very unwelcoming.

“The Empathy Suite is a Sky Villa is 9,000 square-feet and two stories and the expansive layout of the villa, with soaring ceiling heights, features a 13-seat curved bar created by the artist and filled with medical waste”

Tacky scale needs updating
