Not unusual for room to be booked and paid at Olympics. A buddy of mine has a great story about Salt Lake/Lanny/ and prepaid rooms.
It is interesting how the number break down for the UK trip:

The cost for Redford and the two ministers who made the trip with staff was $87,135.38. An additional $431,144.57 was spent on four luncheons, a reception, a high commissioner’s dinner and accommodation and travel costs ($171,567.30) for 17 Alberta performers and artists, including Corb Lund and Alyssa Reid.
