The 5 favorite hotels of wealthy people around the world

Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc

Wealthy people from around the world apparently love staying at the swanky Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. At least, that's the case according to a new report from New World Weath, a ratings, surveys, and statistics provider that specializes in the global wealth sector. 

The report is based on interviews with 800 high-net-worth individuals. New World Wealth made use of its proprietary database of over 150,000 high-net-worth individuals from around the world to conduct the survey.

"The Bellagio is not really a name we expected, but a lot of the wealthy like going there," Andrew Amoils, head of research at New World Wealth, told CNBC News. In fact, of the top five hotels, it is the only one where an average double room can be procured for under $500 a night.

Amoils added that the survey was completely objective — although certain factors, like number of rooms and years of operation, give larger and more established hotels an advantage.
