The most important element of a vacation, aside from the destination, is the
hotel where you spend your downtime. If you’re going to take a true luxury
vacation, of course, it won’t do to have anything less than one of the most
expensive hotel suites in the world.
Hotel Cala di Volpe in Costa Smeralda, Italy - Presidential Suite
$27,277/night
Costa Smeralda—the “Emerald Coast”—in northern Sardinia, is home to many draws
for the obscenely wealthy, not the least of which is this fabulous suite. The
duplex suite has three bedrooms and as many bathrooms, an outdoor saltwater pool
and a private gazebo and solarium.
Grand Resort Lagonissi in Athens, Greece - The Royal Villa
$34,088/night
Another three-bedroom suite, the Royal Villa has two pools—an indoor pool and a
heated outdoor pool. The nearby marina and beach cement the fact that this suite
is a swimmer’s paradise. Visitors will also have access to a private chef to
accompany the fully equipped kitchen, a butler and even a pianist.
Hotel President Wilson in Geneva, Switzerland - Royal Penthouse suite
$35,000/night
If you’d prefer a secure suite to an extravagant one, look no further than
Switzerland. The Royal Penthouse suite boasts a private elevator, bulletproof
windows, armored doors, surveillance cameras and even bedside panic buttons. Of
course, it’s not all about security; the suite also features a number of period
pieces and stunning views of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
Four Seasons Hotel in New York, USA - Ty Warner Penthouse suite
$35,350/night
Most expensive hotel suite
With a carpet that’s so expensive that anyone who walks across it must wear
special booties provided by the hotel, ample views of the nation’s largest city,
a 700 square foot library and even a waterfall in its Zen room, this suite—which
covers the hotel’s entire 52nd floor—is truly a luxury location. It’s named
after the founder of Ty Inc., manufacturer of the popular Beanie Babies stuffed
toys.
The Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France - Penthouse Suite
$37,200/night
The world’s most expensive hotel suite is located on the seventh floor of the
Hotel Martinez, already a ritzy location with its Michelin-starred restaurant
and prime location on the Croisette in Cannes. The suite itself consists of four
bedrooms and an impressive terrace—complete with Jacuzzi—which commands an
equally impressive view of the Mediterranean Sea.
