If you have about $40,000 lying around and no place to spend it, the Mandarin Oriental in London has a singular package for only 10 guests: a private photo shoot with Mary McCartney, fashion and portrait photographer and daughter of Paul and Linda McCartney.

The package includes a two-night stay in a suite (with butler), dinner for two at the hotel's Foliage, spa treatments before the photo session and a Mercedes with a chauffeur for six hours. The price, which is for two, does not include value-added tax and a 5% service charge. Info: 011-44-20-7235-2000, www.mandarinoriental.com.
