The 10 most expensive hotel suites in the world

Ever wonder how the other half lives? Word is, they live quite nicely — and travel even better, plopping down bundles of cash a night at some of the world’s top hotels. “When it comes to luxury,” says Jack Bloch, president and CEO of JB’s World Travel Consultants in New York, “it’s only getting more luxurious.”

Take the Peninsula Paris, which is upping the ante with three “themed” suites this fall as part of a $576 million renovation. The largest of them, the Peninsula Suite, is primed to deliver the royal treatment — 24-hour butler service, on-hand massage, access to an underground spa, a 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom — for $33,500 per night.

“It’s not so much about the suite — it’s about the lifestyle it offers,” says Jack Ezon, president of Ovation Vacations in New York. He’s talking full-on champagne wishes and caviar dreams. “It’s about the service and staff and what they can get you at a moment’s notice. You want to go to the Chanel show in Paris? It’s that kind of access you get.”

Here’s what a billionaire’s bank account can get you in 10 of the world’s most expensive hotel suites.

Presidential Suite at the St. Regis, New York City

Price per night: $35,000

Once the home of Salvador Dali during the ’60s and ’70s, this iconic hotel features a five-star suite that’s unrivaled among most other luxury accommodations.

This 3,430-square-foot space includes two bedrooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a classic wood-paneled library, jaw-dropping views of Central Park, 24-hour English butler service, and use of the hotel’s Bentley Mulsanne.

Hilltop Estate at Laucala Island Resort, Fiji

Price per night: $40,000

Red Bull billionaire Dietrick Mateschitz purchased this private residence from media mogul Malcolm Forbes and turned it into a resort with 25 superluxe villas with every A-list essential one can imagine: a horse-riding school, a 72-hole golf course, a Pilates studio, and a spa that makes its own skin-care products using pressed coconuts from the island.

Mateschitz maintains a private pagoda-style villa, nestled on top of the island, that can be rented when vacant — via application and referral only. It comes with a private chef, a nanny, a housekeeper, cleaning services, and panoramic views of Fiji.

Royal Suite at Hôtel Plaza Athénée, Paris

Price per night: $40,000

Marie-José Pommereau, the famed interior designer and co-founder of the French edition of Architectural Digest, completely renovated the Royal Suite two years ago. Now, the largest hotel room in Paris features décor from the 18th-century Régence period paired with modern amenities.

The three-bedroom suite features mirrors that conceal TVs, a steam room with a Jacuzzi, and three luxurious living rooms.

The Apartment at the Connaught, London

Price per night: $23,500

Designed by famed interior decorator David Collins, The Apartment is London’s most prestigious hotel suite. The bone-and-blue-hued space is basically a private penthouse for those with discerning style.

In addition to round-the-clock butler service, a barman who keeps Krug champagne on ice, and a personal chauffeur, the concierge takes hospitality to the next level. For instance, one guest wanted to cook his wife her favorite meal, so a Michelin-starred chef was brought in — via a secret door — to assist.

Penthouse Suite at Cannes Hôtel Martinez, France

Price per night: $37,000

A Saudi sheikh loved this suite so much that he wanted to rent it for five years. The reason? Luxury has no limits here.

The only hotel room to have a terraced penthouse on the Côte d’Azur, it offers views of the Lérins Islands and Cannes Bay that not many get to see. But the view is only made better with the private butler, the on-call car, the Art Deco-inspired silk furniture, and the five-star food.

Royal Penthouse Suite at Hotel President Wilson, Geneva

Price per night: $67,000

Bill Gates, Rihanna, and Bill Clinton are just three of the guests who stay here — the most expensive hotel room in the world.

The 19,376-square-foot suite features four bedrooms, 12 marble bathrooms, a billiard room, a “royal boardroom,” and an outdoor patio that offers panoramic views of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps. A private security team, private elevators, bulletproof windows, and waiting limos are just some of the “extras” that provide protection and privacy for A-list guests.

Villa Rockstar at Eden Rock, St. Barths

Price per night: $34,000

Billionaires who want to channel their inner Beyoncé will find this suite music to their ears. The sprawling five-bedroom space comes with a fully equipped recording studio, a screening room, a theater area, and a staff of four, and it’s located right on the beach — although there are two personal Jeeps to take you anywhere else you may wish to go.

In the words of Jack Ezon, president of Ovation Vacations in New York, “It’s spectacular.”

Ty Warner Penthouse Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, New York City

Price per night: $45,000

With sprawling views of Manhattan, this 4,300-square-foot suite is bigger — and, yes, better and much more stylish — than most people’s homes in New York. But at $45,000 per night, it isn’t so much about the space (though we are partial to the mod wood-paneled library) as it is about the experience.

The suite comes with a private butler who is on call 24/7, a chauffeur who will whisk you away in a Rolls-Royce, and a personal trainer who will whip you into shape.

The Royal Villa at Grand Resort Lagonissi, Athens

Price per night: $35,000

A-listers in need of a little R&R, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Mel Gibson, stay at the Royal Villa for its homey feel and vacation vibe. Every whim is taking care of by a personal butler, a private chef, and even an on-call pianist.

For those who want to relax, there are panoramic terraces overlooking sprawling gardens and the water. For those who want a sporty time, the suite comes with a full-size private gym, indoor and outdoor heated pools, and a steam bath.

Maharajah’s Pavillion at the Raj Palace Hotel, Jaipur, India

Price per night: $45,000

Once the residence of the maharajah, this is the largest “suite” in all of Asia — an opulent four-floor, 16,000-square-foot apartment. The second floor overlooks the inner courts of the palace and the Charbagh gardens.

Bling is the thing here — bedrooms are adorned in gold leaf and mirrored walls, furniture is gold and silver — as well as culture. The pavilion has a library and a private museum displaying the Old Throne and Bolsters of the Thakur Sahib. Butler service, a Jacuzzi, and a swimming pool feel like a mere bonus.
