That’s one way to avoid inn-beciles.
Everyone’s fantasized about having a whole hotel to themselves, but this Florida businesswoman made the dream a reality, renting out every room at a plush resort so she could be rid of “riffraff” and boisterous children.
“It was very peaceful because there was no one around,” Victoria Unikel told Kennedy News of the stay, which occurred at an unidentified resort in the Florida Keys and cost a cool $20,000 for a single night.
“There were lots of birds there and we could hear them and enjoy them,” said Unikel. Kennedy News & Media

The ex-model and actress, who co-founded the VUGA Media Group with her husband Gene Avakyan, said she and her beau had wanted somewhere to celebrate her 47th birthday without distraction.
“[By booking out the whole hotel], it got rid of the general riff raff that is normally in hotels which I don’t like,” the Miami resident declared. “It allowed me to avoid noisy kids and people and the hustle and bustle.”

The hotel Unikel rented out for her birthday. Kennedy News & MediaThe hotel essentially became the couple’s playground, much like the movie “The Shining” — but without the bloodshed.
“At the hotel, I relaxed at the beach and pool and went to the restaurant. We walked around,” said Unikel, whose favorite thing to do was meditate.
“I was doing this (meditation) on the deckchair at the beach,” the bombshell added. “My meditation is not just to help me calm down, it also allows me to manifest future events and it works.”
Naturally, dropping five figures on a one-night hotel stay — even if it’s for the entire property — might seem ludicrous, but “it was discounted as it was mid-week and it is winter in Florida,” according to Unikel.
The solo stay offered a nice respite for the busy media mogul, who, along with founding VUGA, is also a children’s author. She published her flagship book, “Emma + Luke = Disappear To Nowhere” last November.
Unikel, whose companies are reportedly worth a cool $17 million, also plans to release a luxury travel couture collection named “RCH BTCH” later this year through her fashion line Unikel Couture.
As for how the polyglot remains busy, she describes: “I am not 100 percent satisfied. I want more. I don’t understand the concept of retirement and don’t want to retire.”
