The La Pavillon Hotel in New Orleans has a suite that includes a marble bathtub that once belonged to French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte. According to legend, Napoleon was taking a bath in 1803 and thinking about selling the French land in North America to the United States. When his brothers tried to persuade him not to, he splashed them. Some people believe Napoleon also signed the Louisiana Purchase in his bathtub. The La Pavillon claims to have this bathtub. The tub, valued at $350,000, is part of the hotel’s $2.5 million collection of antiques and artifacts. To stay in the suite and use the tub, you would have to pay $1,000.
