Ticket to Ride : You have to pony up at least $7,000 for the hotel's suites to have access to this p
These days we've been noticing that hotels are trying to make our stays feel more like home. That's why we rarely see a hotel room without a flat-screen TV, an iPod dock, a stack of pillows on the bed and "home-like" decor. But doesn't that seem kind of crazy? Who wants to pay good money to spend the night at home? Not us.
We want our hotel stay to be a chance at living beyond our means, if only for one night. That's why we're obsessed with hotels with cool technology , death-defying rooftop pools and sexy suites. And now we've got a new lust-- 10 Tricked Out Hotel House Cars .
These hotels ferry their guests around in some of the most expensive cars on the market. Now, we're not gearheads and normally, we'd leave that stuff to Jalopnik but just knowing that we could been see in a Rolls Royce Phantom or a Maybach by spending a night at one of these hotels has us rather...turned on.
Where You Can Ride It: Gansevoort Hotel and Gansevoort Park in New York. Having two sister hotels in the same city means that guests will want to go back and forth from one hotel to the other. Naturally, a Porsche is the car for the job.
Where You Can Ride It: Mondrian South Beach in Miami. Guests at this bayfront hotel can be ferried to the Mondrian's sister hotel, The Delano, on the beach. There's plenty of room for your rollerblades!
Where You Can Ride It: At the Haleuakani in Honolulu which has a exotic automobile amenity program called history of the fairmount hotel in san francisco "Art in Motion." Guests can choose from a Maserati Gran Turismo, a Bentley Continental GTC, a Lotus Elise and a Lotus Exige S to play with during their stay.
Ticket to Ride : You have to pony up at least $7,000 for the hotel's suites to have access to this program. But regular ole' guests can rent the cars for the day starting at $250. (The Bentley is the most expensive car to rent at $995 a day.)
Where You Can Ride It: At the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi where the use of a chauffeur-driven $410,000 Maybach is available with the hotel's most expensive package see below. The hotel also has a Rolls Royce on hand if you so desire.
Ticket to Ride : The car can be yours exclusively for seven days when you book the $1 Million Hotel Package which includes a stay in a three-bedroom suite, private jet excursions, all food and drink and more.
Where You Can Ride It: At the Pretty Woman Hotel aka The Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills. The cars are available on a first come, first serve basis for hotel guests and they can be dropped off (or picked up) from any location within history of the fairmount hotel in san francisco a three mile radius.
Where You Can Ride It: At the Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg which has seven BMW 7 series limousines in their luxury fleet. Looking for something more sporty? The hotel can also chauffeur you around in a BMW X1 or X5 at your wish.

I had the chance to ride in the Porsche Panamera 4S between Gansevoorts recently, and it was pretty damn and smooth. My only lament was the NYC traffic. If we could get one of these babies out on the open road, then we'd be talking...
Like the Rolls Royce Phantom or the Hermes Phantom would be awesome but not if you have to pony up more money for it. Those room rates are already extravagant. Also, a bunch of hotels have SmartCars in their stable. That might be the next list!
