6 or 7- star hotel?

Until very recently, we thought a 5-star hotel was the highest classification in the hotel range but in the last couple of years some 6 and 7-star hotels have appeared in the tourism sector. Here you can find a list of this sort of hotels. Obvioulsy these hotels offer luxurious accommodation only within the reach of a few as most people can´t afford to stay in them. But what do you think a 6 or 7-star hotel is? What can it offer that other hotels don´t? Please leave your comments. Below I have included a video of one of those 7-star hotels built in Dubai:
