The World’s 8 Most Extravagant Hotel Rooms

A list of the planet’s flashiest accommodations.

Private staff, grand pianos, stunning views, remote-controlled toilets, and other luxurious amenities fill some of the world’s most ostentatious hotel rooms. Most are suites big enough for extended families, along with their extended families, with price tags to match. Here’s a look at some of the most opulent accommodations.

Royal Penthouse Suite, Hotel President Wilson, Geneva

The world’s most expensive hotel room, starting at more than $65,000 a night, includes 12 bedrooms and 12 marble bathrooms, a wraparound terrace with views of the Alps, and a private staff consisting of a butler, chef and personal assistant. There’s also a Steinway grand piano, a 103-in. Bang & Olufsen flat-screen TV, and a private gym. The hotel keeps all the amenities, as well as guests, safe behind bulletproof glass windows

Shahi Mahal Suite, The Raj Palace, Jaipur, India

Currently under renovation, the accommodation should be ready by October, when it will feature a 24,000 square foot landscaped terrace, a three-sided infinity pool, an astrology room, a library, and a private theater. All for about $60,000 a night.

Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons, New York

At $40,000 a night, this 4,300 square foot penthouse is practically a steal compared to the previous ones. Created by architects I. M. Pei and Peter Marino, this 52^nd-floor suite took seven years and $50 million to construct. It features expansive windows and four glass balconies offering a panoramic view of Manhattan’s skyline. Meanwhile, calfskin leather lines the walls in the dressing room, while some floors are made of semi-precious stones and imported wood. The master bathroom even features a toilet with a wireless remote, sensors and heated seat. In addition to all that luxury, the hotel can provide a rollaway bed for a third adult or child.

The Tata Suite, The Pierre, New York

At less than half the size of the Four Seasons penthouse, the Tata offers amazing views of Central Park. Also, guests can combine the suite with neighboring rooms to create a massive six-bedroom accommodation gobbling up the entire 39^th floor. Perhaps the room’s most lavish perk is a “hand-selected Taj Royal Attache, blossomed from a long lineage of butlers who have been creating magic in India’s imperial residences for centuries, coordinating the smallest details to the grandest of whims with impeccable discretion and dignified hospitality.”

The Last Czar Suite, Hotel ZaZa, Dallas

Imperial rule of Russia may have ended early last century, but guests can still feel like kings and queens at this 2,125 square foot room packed with hand-carved mahogany furnishings, brocade fabrics and paintings of Russian royalty.

Sky Villas, Aria Sky Suites, Las Vegas

 These 2,000 to 7,000 square foot accommodations “exist for the most discerning of guests who demand a unique, exclusive and unprecedented experience,” boasts the hotel’s website. Rooms feature panoramic views of Las Vegas’ neon lights so that guests can “absorb the energy that pulses from the streets to your soul.” They also include private elevators and 24-hour butler service.

The Hardwood Suite, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas

This 10,000 square foot behemoth sleeps up to 10 people, not that guests are likely to book the room for its bedrooms. At $25,000 per night, the suite features an indoor hardwood basketball court, a professional locker room, a lounge with a dance floor, 11 televisions, an 8-person Jacuzzi tub, and round-the-clock butler service. And for guests not interested in basketball, the room also includes a Sony Playstation.

Jewel Suite, The New York Palace, New York

At 5,000 square feet, the room, created by jewelry designer Martin Katz, radiates Art-Deco opulence. The entry to this $25,000-a-night ode to luxury features a grand staircase, a two-story crystal chandelier, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand piano, and mirrored walls in the dining room. In addition, over $1.5 million worth of Katz’s jewelry creations fill the suite. And that’s just on the first floor of this triplex. Higher up, the suite includes a fireplace, a stone spa, and an outdoor terrace.
