Amnassador: Peaches Geldof
The 20-year-old socialite has become an ambassador for the five-star Mayfair Hotel, saving her almost £50,000 in bills over the past 14 weeks.
The hotel allow her to stay at a fraction of the usual price in return for Ms Geldof being photographed outside the building and mentioning it in her magazine columns.
In February Ms Geldof was reportedly thrown out of her father Bob Geldof's house in Battersea after they argued over a series of photographs of her in revealing outfits, as well as an underwear advertising campaign she was to take part in.
After being thrown out of the family home, she soon moved into the £330 a night hotel in central London.
Hotel sources said she often stays for weeks at a time and is occasionally offered one of the 12 suites, which costs up to £1,000-a-night.
She is given free meals in the restaurant, where dinner for two costs more than £100, and has been told she does not have to pay for her drinks in the bar.
Her dinner, drinks and room service bills alone are said to have cost almost £10,000 over the last 14 weeks.
Deals like the one Ms Geldof is taking advantage of are normally reserved for A-list celebrities such as the David and Victoria Beckham, who are also on the Mayfair's books.
Over the last year Peaches has been splitting her time between London and New York.
She had originally been renting a house in Islington, North London, but moved out after marrying U.S. musician Max Drummey last August. The couple have since separated.
A spokesman for Ms Geldof said: "Peaches is on the ambassador scheme at the hotel. "However, she is getting slightly tired of living out of a suitcase. She is house-hunting in London and she is still renting an apartment in New York."
