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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, if you have the money. . . . . . . . .not on gov salary though. . . .

Lord have mercy.

It would be great to try out one of these. Of course, every of these hotels has got its own history and it is amazing when almost every appartment has a list of famous people who stayed there and even maybe created something. I bet staying in one of these would make every person happy and willing to share their experience. Curious, do they also have just five-star rating or something different, when it comes to these hotels..?
