I went passed the Dorchester hotel yesterday in a Taxi. The taxi driver said to me that every time he went passed this hotel before he looked at it in envy. Now he looks at it with pride in the knowledge that Pakistani President had stayed at this fine establishment, and where APDM held its conference last year. :)
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
Everytime I go past Dorchester I feel ashamed at the thought that while people back home were struggling to get basic things like atta, rice and electricity the incompetent and illegal president was busy spending the nations money here. Shame on him. Oops sorry he has no shame.

Pakistan is a poor country and we cant waste Tax Payer Money on such wasteful spending
Musharraf should have stayed in more modest accomodations

Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
Musharraf should have stayed with my phoppa in Camden. It'd cost him nothing but a debate. Would have saved all you poverty stricken web surfers from having a hissy fit.
As for him being a President...says who? Last time I checked Mush was never elected into power.

Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
Senate told yesterday that per night room charges for HRH Musharraf were GBP 17000 per night…I think this will satisfy the people who had questioned the earlier report…

Musharraf stayed in Rs 2m per night
London hotel room, Senate told
Friday, February 29, 2008
By Rauf Klasra
ISLAMABAD:** The Senate was stunned, the treasury benches speechless, when it was disclosed on Thursday that President Pervez Musharraf, during his recent four-day visit to London, stayed in the royal suite of a hotel where one night’s rent was 17,000 UK pounds or Rs 2 million.
A total of about 68,000 pounds (Rs 8 million) were paid only on account of room rent for four nights of the hotel facing the Hyde Park, London. **
The impact of this disclosure was so severe that even caretaker ministers like Nisar Memon, Nisar Ghumman and others became speechless, not standing up on the floor of the House to say anything in Musharraf’s defence.
Even the caretaker Minister for Petroleum Ehsanullah Khan, who toured the European countries with President Musharraf and stayed at the expensive hotel in London, could not gain the moral courage to stand up and say a few words.
Besides the Rs 8 million paid for four nights, the rest of the expenditures in these four days of stay were not disclosed. The official entourage of the president, including ministers and advisers, also stayed in the most- expensive hotel of London, where usually international celebrities, Hollywood actors and actresses pass their time.
The total bill of Musharraf’s eight-day-long trip to four European nations was also not given in the House.
When contacted by The News, president’s spokesman Maj Gen (retd) Rashid Qureshi said he had no idea how much rent was paid for one night’s stay of Musharraf.
He said he would check with the Pakistani high commissioner to the UK to get the details as he did not know at all about the total expenditures or other such details.
Earlier, the Upper House was taken by surprise when Senator Azam Swati stood up on a point of order to drop the bombshell that President Musharraf had stayed in a hotel where the rent per night was 17,000 pounds and he lived in this royal family suite for four nights.
“Look how our president has lavishly spent the taxpayers’ money in London,” Swati said, waving a report in his hands which clearly mentioned that the hotel was paid Rs 2 million rent per night.
**Swati said the same royal suite was used by the president to distribute official photocopies of letters and documents among British journalists to show
how the deposed chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had been receiving bogus petrol and medical bills of a few thousand rupees, which ultimately became one of the reasons for his ouster.**
Swati, who was fully backed by the opposition benches, wondered how the president of a poor country like Pakistan could stay in a room whose rent was Rs 2 million per night.
During his four-day stay, President Musharraf had only one big official engagement – one-hour meeting with PM Gordon Brown. **The British Foreign Office had also made it clear that Musharraf was not invited by the UK but he himself had requested to visit London. **
During the rest of the three days there, Musharraf spent time with his old buddy Brig Niaz with whom he played bridge. Then, former prime minister Shaukat Aziz took him out for a lavish dinner at a Japanese restaurant. Musharraf also addressed a think-tank and members of the Pakistani community.
The presidential entourage, which visited London along with him, included PM’s Adviser on Finance Dr Salman Shah, Petroleum Minister Ehsanullah Khan, Governor State Bank of Pakistan Dr Shamshad Akhtar, Commerce Minister Shahzada Manoo Alam, Maj-Gen (retd) Rashid Qureshi, Adviser Dr Ashfaq, Foreign Secretary Riaz Mohammad Khan, Secretary Board of Investment Mushtaq Malik and others.
They all stayed at the same hotel, but it is not known how much was spent on their rents per night.

I think they were speechless, coz their mouths were watering. They must have been thinking that there is lot of money in treasury to grab.

You expect him to be objective?
Only his Mush and Altaf are good leaders for him
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
LOL.
Has anyone bothered to contact the Dorchester Hotel to confirm this story?
If you ring The Dorchester Hotel they will inform you that their best, and most expensive suite of rooms is ‘The Harlequin’ suite. The price of that is £4290 per night.
They will also confirm to you that President Musharraf of Pakistan actually stayed in the less pricy ‘Dorchester suite’, which is made up of three separate bedrooms. It’s price is only £2260 - or 2.3 lakhs per night.
It seems some mischievous Pakistani reporter has multiplied the actual cost by 10, and this is being believed by others as well
Pakistan - where rumours becomes facts so easily. 
If you don’t believe me, call The Dorchester Hotel for yourself. I have called them.
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
Nice try :rolleyes:
The price is for total expenses, including the room.
The figures are confirmed, and weren’t even denied but the dictators govt

Oh c'moooon! Don't be so harsh. Everyone likes to leave with one last paid vacation. :)
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London

This is the quote from the article posted above: Did Senator Azan Swati break down how President Musharaf was alleged to have spent 17,000 pounds per night. 
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
Do you enjoy living in denial??
Re: HRH Musharraf spends 2 million rupees per night on his personal room in London
The figure simply isn’t plausible. The Dorchester Suite runs £2,200/night. Now lets assume that the president and his wife both ate every meal at the hotel (that’s three meals per day at a generous £200/per person…so £1,200/day), enjoyed a vintage £1000 bottle of wine with every meal (£3,000/day), and got spa treatments and massages daily (lets say £300/person or £600/day)…and we’ll throw in an additional £3,000/day for security staff.
Even on that budget, it comes out to £10,000…still a fraction of what he’s being accused of. Its ludicrous.
