A list of the 10 most scandalous celebrity hotel hangouts in the world has been compiled by travel deals site Travelzoo, with Australia earning its own debauched place on the list.

The salacious list includes hotels where shocking celebrity moments took place, such as Micheal Jackson dangling his infant out of the window, and the more recent argument between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles.

QT Gold Coast took second place in the round-up after Justin Bieber tagged the hotel walls with graffiti last year.

“Following the recently leaked footage of the argument between Jay-Z and his sister-in-law Solange, Travelzoo Australia had no trouble at all coming up with nine other hotels where celebrities have behaved in a way perhaps they wish they hadn’t,” Travelzoo managing director Brad Gurrie said. 

“The great thing is some of these celebrity haunts can be well within the reach of mere mortals, too, if you keep your eyes open for those money-off deals – and don’t misbehave."

The top 10 list:

1. The Standard Hotel, New York: Solange Knowles appears to attack Jay Z in a lift whilst Beyonce looks on.
