There are luxury hotels and then there are luxury hotels. When the phrase “money is no object” becomes reality, the travel experience transcends plush sheets and infinity pools. We’re talking private islands, 24-karat gold-threaded linens, bulletproof windows, personal butlers, and Rolls-Royce fleets waiting at your disposal. These aren’t just hotel suites — they’re multi-million-dollar fantasies curated for billionaires, royals, and those for whom luxury is simply a way of life.
Where are these elite stays and what do they feature? Here is a snapshot of the crème de la crème…
The Mark Penthouse, The Mark Hotel
Location: New York City, USA
Cost per night: $100,000
At over 10,000 square feet, The Mark’s penthouse is the largest hotel suite in the U.S. This five-bedroom palace in the sky features a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace that transforms into a private ballroom, a grand living room (which can be turned into a full-sized stage), library lounge, and dining room which seats 24. This is home away from home for celebs who often stay here during the Met Gala.
The Empathy Suite, Palms Casino Resort
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Cost per night: $100,000 (2-night minimum)
Designed by British provocateur and artist Damien Hirst, the Empathy Suite is less of a hotel room and more of a live-in gallery. Pill motifs, original artwork, and a private salt relaxation room are all included. The 9,000-square-foot space includes a 13-seat bar, private wellness area, and a 24-hour butler. The pièce de résistance? A cantilevered pool overlooking the Strip.
The Royal Penthouse Suite, Hotel President Wilson
Location: Geneva, Switzerland
Cost per night: $80,000
Beloved by diplomats, A-listers, and high-profile figures needing both luxury and security, this suite spans the entire eighth floor of the hotel. Expect 12 bedrooms, 12 marble bathrooms, bulletproof windows, and a Steinway grand piano. There’s even a private fitness center and a panoramic terrace with sweeping views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.
Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons New York
Location: New York City, USA
Cost per night: $60,000
Seven years in the making and costing $50 million to build, this suite occupies the entire top floor of the Four Seasons NYC. With 360-degree views of Manhattan, a private art collection, and a personal butler, the experience is as elevated as the view. The room comes with a chauffeured Rolls-Royce — naturally.
The Hilltop Villa, Laucala Island
Location: Fiji
Cost per night: $55,000
Accessible only by invitation, the Hilltop Estate at Laucala is a secluded paradise perched atop a lush island hill. It includes a main residence and two guest villas, all surrounded by private pools, panoramic decks, and jungle. The estate also comes with a private chef, nanny, chauffeur, with the entire island’s facilities at your disposal — from golf to horseback riding to deep-sea diving.
The Muraka, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island
Location: Maldives
Cost per night: $50,000+
A two-story villa with a master bedroom submerged beneath the Indian Ocean. Floor-to-ceiling acrylic walls give guests an uninterrupted view of marine life while they sleep. The upper floor includes an infinity pool, private jet skis, and a dedicated staff, including a butler and chef. It’s as close to feeling like a Bond villain as you’ll get — but in flip-flops.
Villa La Cupola, Hotel Excelsior
Location: Rome, Italy
Cost per night: $50,000
Inspired by the architecture of ancient Rome, this villa boasts frescoes, marble baths, and a private cinema beneath its jaw-dropping cupola. You can sip champagne on the terrace with a view of the Eternal City, then head downstairs to your private spa with a sauna, steam bath, and a mosaic-lined jacuzzi.
What unites these sky-high suites isn’t just the price tag — it’s the meticulous obsession with privacy, personalization, and opulence. These hotels don’t just offer accommodation; they offer entire worlds, suspended from reality and reserved for the few who can afford the fantasy.
Even if you’re just here to daydream, one thing is certain: luxury, at this level, isn’t just about where you stay — it’s about how you feel while staying there. And for $100,000 a night? You’ll feel like a deity.
