Jay Z and Solange Knowles' lift incident isn't the first time celebrities or VIPs have caused havoc in a luxury hotel (nor will it be the last).

From Michael Jackson dangling Blanket from the Adlon in Berlin, to the Chateau Marmont in LA banning Lindsay Lohan after she failed to pay her $46,000 bill, getting into trouble with hotels is par for the course for A-listers .

As Jay Z, Beyonce and Solange kiss and make up, Travelzoo has compiled a list of the top 10 most scandalous hotels in the world.

The aftermath: Jay Z looked shellshocked as the trio left the elevator after the fight at the Standard Hotel in New York, which scoops first place on the Travelzoo list of scandalous hotels, on May 5

Number one: The Standard Hotel in New York City has been ranked the most scandalous hotel in the world

With the Standard hotel in New York City scooping the top slot for the Met Ball elevator 'fight' this month, the travel deals website names Prince Harry's Las Vegas antics in second place. 

The fourth in line to the throne partied at the five-star Wynn in 2012, getting snapped stripping off in a game of 'naked billiards'.

Holiday Inn Flint, in Michigan, is in third place, where Keith Moon, drummer of The Who, managed to blow-up a toilet, reverse a car into the swimming pool and smash his front tooth out whilst slipping in birthday cake on his 21st in 1967.

The event, which coincided with the band's first tour of America, resulted in a lifetime global ban to the country, which was actually lifted in 1999, for The Who.

The Adlon Hotel in Berlin is named in fourth place, thanks to the former King of Pop Michael Jackson dangling baby Blanket out of the window of his fifth-floor room in 2002.

He apologised afterward saying: 'I offer no excuses for what happened, I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children.'

While the Beverly Hilton, in Beverly Hills, makes up the top five. The five-star venue, where the Golden Globes are held annually, is reportedly where US president John F Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe would enjoy romantic liaisons. 

It's also where Angelina Jolie jumped in the pool in her ball gown after promising to do so if she won an award for her performance in GIA.

Angela Dow, chief curator of hotels at Travelzoo, said: 'Following the recent leaked footage from the family argument involving Jay Z and his sister-in-law, Travelzoo has come up with a list of nine more properties where celebrities have behaved in a way perhaps they wish they hadn't.'

In sixth place, Travelzoo ranks Hotel Sofitel Cardales in Buenos Aires, where a half-naked Harry Styles and Niall Horan were filmed on CCTV jumping down a corridor in May.

And the Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in Connecticut, where Britney Spears' children allegedly trashed their room causing $20,000 of damage in 2009, comes seventh.

They reportedly drew on the walls with crayons and even went to the toilet in the hotel pool.

MGM Grand, in Las Vegas is ranked eighth. The luxury hotel is where Tiger Woods first met Jaimee Grubbs - the affair that broke all the other affairs - after partying along the Strip in 2007.

He took her back to his bungalow in in MGM Grand grounds to start the relationship that would be made public in 2010.

Chateau Marmont, in LA, is number nine on the list after Lindsay Lohan was kicked out of suite 33 and banned from the hotel after failing to pay her $46,000 bill in August 2012.

And The Mercer, in New York, features in tenth place, after Russell Crowe threw a telephone at a hotel employee when he wasn't able to get through on the phone to speak to his wife.

He was arrested and charged, being led from the property in handcuffs on 7 June 2005, describing the situation as: 'Possibly the most shameful situation that I've ever gotten myself in... and I've done some pretty dumb things in my life.'
