Ariana Grande has reportedly hired six London hotel suites at a whopping £5,000 a night amid the UK press tour for her new film Wicked: For Good.
The premiere for the second film starring Ariana and Cynthia Erivo will take place in Leicester Square on Sunday night – and it will be nothing but luxury for her during her stay in the capital while she attends various events to promote the film.
She reportedly arrived by private jet to the UK on Saturday after flying into Farnborough airport in Hampshire from Paris.
The singer, 32, was then whisked to the five-star Raffles London at the OWO hotel for her stay.
The Sun reports that she has hired six suites at £5,000 each a night for her trip for her and her large entourage.
A source told the publication ‘Ariana’s team and the production crew from Wicked put their heads together to ensure Ariana is in luxury and comfort and has plenty of privacy.

‘She will need plenty of time and space to prepare for her big red-carpet moment with her glamour squad.’
Production company Universal has also splashed out £100,000 on hiring swanky French restaurant Brasserie Zedel near Piccadilly for the after-party following the premiere.
A representative for Ariana has been contacted by The Daily Mail for comment.
It comes after the star showed off her 40 hand ‘prison’ tattoos as she stepped out for the premiere of Wicked: For Good in Paris on Friday night.
She was snapped in the French capital with her extremely thin physique ahead of the movie’s release on November 21.
Ariana, who plays Glinda The Good in the fantasy films, looked sensational in a chic black gown with pink floral embellishments.
In one snap, Ariana’s 40 hand ‘prison’ tattoos were on full display as she blew kisses to the gathered crowd.
There are markings all over her fingers and the back of her hand that go down to her wrists.
Some markings are to do with Wicked and co-star Cynthia Erivo. One is a large illustration of Glinda from the original Wicked.

Other marks are for the men she has romanced: Mac Miller, Pete Davidson and Dalton Gomez.
The hand tattoos received the ‘prison’ name as they are numerous, small, uneven and appear homemade like what prisoners can create with limited tools.
Sweeping her hair into a bun, Ariana accented her beauty with glam makeup and added extra height to her frame with pointed heels.
Her co-star and Elphaba actress Cynthia Erivo was not in attendance.
Just days ago Ariana was forced to miss the Wicked premiere in Brazil over flight issues.
She was due to walk the red carpet at the Sao Paulo event on Tuesday evening but was forced to deplane over safety issues.
Taking to Instagram to share her disappointment, Grande said that her team failed to find an alternative arrangement to get her to Sao Paolo in time.
She wrote: ‘Brazil, I can’t believe this is happening and I am beyond devastated to be sending this message.
‘A few hours ago, my team and I had to deplane our flight, as they had to do maintenance on the plane due to a safety issue and it will not be taking off until 1 a.m. tomorrow.
‘My team and Universal have tried every single thing possible to fix this.
‘We’ve searched every other flight, overnight, early morning, connecting flights, commercial and also private options and absolutely nothing was available or possible that would get us there in time.
‘Even in attempting a private option, there is a permit necessary in order to fly from here that takes time to attain.’
