The
two-story, 8,400-square- foot suite features views over the Arabian
sea, marble flooring, a rotating four-poster bed in the master bedroom,
dining area, and a private cinema and elevator between the
split-level rooms.
The marble bath comes fully stocked with
full-sized products from Hermes. Guests are met by a chauffeur driven
Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph (or, for a bit extra, by a helicopter). A
personal butler stands 24/7 at the ready to fulfill every wish. The
Royal Suite is the last word in luxury with a marble and gold
staircase, leopard print tufted carpets and Versace linens.
What you can also enjoy is a submarine ride to an underwater restaurant complete with shark-infested aquarium.
This
pricey suite is located on the 5th floor and takes 200-sq.-meters. A
60-sq.-meter balcony is overlooking the Rue de la Paix, with an
outstanding view of the Vendôme column. The Imperial Suite has high
ceilings, a dining room, kitchenette, bar, and a mansard roof. It also
includes in-suite spa with whirlpool bath, steam room shower and a
built-in massage table. Also included are high-speed Internet access
and a computer with flat screen monitor, multi-line telephones, and a
separate work area to help you enjoy the work process.
The
Bridge Suite is located on top of a bridge that connects the two Royal
Towers buildings, so it overlooks the entire resort and marina. An
800 square foot balcony and 12-foot high ceilings throughout with full
length windows allow you to enjoy a 360 view of the water, lagoons
and pools in Paradise Island. We can make a guess that most of the
price is paid for the location of the suite. Forbes reports the suite
has hosted guests including Oprah, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and
Bill Gates.
The suite has 10 rooms that are decorated in black,
red and gold (including a 22-karat gold chandelier in the dining
room). The living room is a 1,250-square- foot room with grand piano
and twin entertainment centers. The master bedroom has a sitting area,
his-and-hers closets so large that you can park your car there, and
hand-painted linens. The kitchen also has its own entrance, so a
permanent staff of seven, including a butler and a cook can access the
rooms without bothering you.

room/dining room, an oversized

4. Villa La Capula Suite, Westin Excelsior, Rome
Nightly Rate: $29.000
The suite is located on the fifth and sixth floor underneath the
cupola of the hotel which was made famous by Fellini’s movies. It
covers 6,099 square feet and has an additional 1,808 square feet of
balconies and terraces. While it only has
two bedrooms,
five more can be joined to it. The entire suite was just remodeled in
1998 for a cost of around $7 million. So now you will have all things
Roman and excessive – a cupola, a Pompeii-style
Jacuzzi
pool, frescoes (the painted horizons on the frescoes were designed to
match perfectly with the real Roman one), stained glass windows, and
almost 2,000 feet of balcony space including a sun deck overlooking the
Via Veneto district.
The downstairs also has a private kitchen,
and the dining room features an antique Murano glass chandelier, a
private wine cabinet with over 150 wines to choose from and a
study/library covered in hand-carved wood. And what really makes this
suite over the top is a private cinema with Dolby surround sound.
Now that’s living la dolce vita.
3. Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons Hotel, New York
Nightly Rate: $34.000
The $50 million Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons in NY was designed by legendary architect I.M. Pei, Peter Marino and
hotel owner Ty Warner.
The nine-room suite has walls inlaid with mother of pearl, gold and
platinum-woven fabrics. The suite is located on the 52nd floor of New
York’s tallest hotel with floor-to-ceiling bay windows offering a
breathtaking 360 degree view of the City. If that is not relaxing enough
you can enjoy a waterfall in the Zen Room, play the grand piano in
the library or soak in a tub overlooking Central Park. Full spa
treatments, a personal trainer and a 24/7 butler are all included, and
if you still find a will to leave, you can choose to be chauffeured in
a Rolls Royce or Maybach, and you’re always guaranteed a table at the
hotel’s renowned L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon restaurant.
2. Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas
Nightly Rate: $40.000
If anyone knows how to vacation in Las Vegas, that will be Hugh
Hefner. Even though he is known as a homebody he has spent a few nights
away from the mansion at the Sky Villa. The suite itself was built to
model the original playboy mansion; it also incorporates elements
derived from a vintage Playboy magazine article about the ultimate
bachelor pad. The suite cost roughly $10 million to build but the
high-rollers can rent it for a small $40,000 a night. Everything
screams S-E-X-Y at the Sky Villa. The two-story 9,000 square foot
Villa includes a glass elevator, a rotating bed set beneath a mirrored
ceiling, and a glass wall Jacuzzi that extends out over the hotel and
offers amazing Strip views, around-the-clock butler service, massage
and spa rooms, work-out room and poker table,
fireplace, three bedrooms, and pop-up plasma TVs.
Sorry, Bunnies not included.
