Affordable Hotels In Carolina Beach

London may be known for its rainy climate but one hotel in the British capital has decided loaning out umbrellas just wasn't cool enough for its elite clientele -- not when you could loan out Burberry trench coats instead. The Maybourne Hotel Group -- which runs a number of high-end hotels in London -- is placing the designer raincoats in suites so that guests can ward off the weather. Visitors can use the Burberry coats for free during their stay, but will have to cough up around $1,500 if they want to take them home. Trench coats are just one of many luxurious perks hotels are offering to woo guests. Over the years, we've seen all sorts of cool and surprising things on loan to travelers. If you're staying at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, there's no need to worry about picking up a cramped rental car. The hotel will set guests up with a nice set of free wheels -- all you have to do is decide if you want to hit the road in a Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Cadillac, Mercedes or Bentley.

Earlier this year, the Burj Al Arab in Dubai announced it was letting guests play with an iPad during their stay. Of course, being Dubai, they're not just handing out any old iPad -- their blinged-out devices are plated in nothing less than 24-carat gold. And finally, if you're tired of everything in your suitcase, you can put together a killer new outfit thanks to the Fred Segal lending library at the Loews Santa Monica Hotel. The program lets hotel guests borrow a range of accessories such as expensive purses, necklaces and sunglasses from the upscale clothing retailer.
