The holidays may have come and gone, but you're in dire need of a vacation. You just booked one? But wait! Have you checked to see if the hotels you're staying at offer these perks? The only requirement for these services is that you are a rich, possibly lazy, priss.

Here are some of the ridiculous perks at hotels that Business Insider rounded up.

This weekend I traveled to the dream land of polo shirts, boat shoes, white people and entitlement called the Hamptons. I checked out Super Saturday, Cyril's Fish House, Ruschmeyer's, and Surf Lodge, drank what could be deemed "too much," relaxed by the pool, and tried to contain my judgment. I failed. More»

As you start to forget the summer that comes to an official close next week, it's worth remembering the once-grand Catskills resorts that were history years ago. Jonathan Haeber's gorgeous, sad shots of the region's faded glory are a good place to start. More»

According to a Zagat survey, New Yorkers are broke homebodies. Let's face it, the Hamptons on the cheap just ain't worth it. A lackluster alternative is staying at home, watching endless reruns of The Real Housewives and perfecting your 'Twilight' pallor. More»

Just as everyone wants to escape the city heat, it's getting harder to do so. No one has the cash to pay for the LIRR to Southampton. The MTA is eliminating Metrocard options as it hikes prices for surviving ones. And whether or not you can afford a ticket, trains will muck up your schedule. More»

As if the opening of a Soho House in central Berlin weren't a sure enough sign of impending gentrified doom, a gleaming new airport opening next year hopes to bring respectable professionals and professions to the creative mecca and "financial and geographic backwater." More»

On the cusp of its bacchanalian Carnival, Rio's mayor is cracking down on all the fun that made the city's beaches an international destination. A coastline devoid of food vendors and volleyball (and with new port-a-potties!) seems incomplete. But, no, I'll still say it beats blizzardy New York right now. More»

Ah Berlin, home of the libertine club kid, roving humanoid bratwurst cart and, now, the naked airport security protest! See the kinder smuggle some exposed sausage through Tegel aiport below (SFW, kinda)... More»

As Rio de Janeiro scrambles to rehabilitate the seedier aspects of its image (see: City of God) in preparation for the 2016 Olympics, the rewards of one government-sponsored program were unveiled last Friday with a fashion show featuring clothes designed by the city's prostitutes. More»

It's all about purple, the Purple Magazine party that is. Lindsay Lohan, Margerita Missoni, Eugenie Niarchos and Leigh Lezark were seen chit chatting over drinks and cigarettes while taking a break from the huge crowd at the party in Paris on Friday night. More»

[Cult figure signs autographs]. Quentin Tarantino and the cast of the purposefully mispelled Inglourious Basterds took a hop across the pond to attend last night's premiere in Berlin. Set in WWII-era Vichy France, the film features Jewish characters exacting vengeance upon their Nazi oppressors. Brad Pitt plays a soldier from Tennessee who organizes a ragtag group of Jewish-American fighters to stick it to the Germans, while Diane Kruger plays a popular German film star who is secretly a spy for the Allies. Inglourious Basterds first showed at Cannes in May, and will premiere in the U.S. on August 21. More»
