If this sounds right up your street then you won't even have to worry about whether there will be enough room for your whole family because the building has 1,100 rooms and the capacity to sleep 99 people!

There are some limitations though including a strict dress code.

The the listing states: "Men must wear a shirt and tie at all times. Women must dress in business-like clothing. The wearing of t-shirts with slogans is strictly forbidden. Hats must not be worn. Guests are also not allowed to have their hands in their pockets at any time."
