Ten of the world’s most expensive hotel suites

With private butlers, exquisite views and massive expanses, it’s no wonder these extravagant suites are some of the world’s most expensive.

By Sandra Ramani 02/09/2017

Tens of thousands of dollars may seem like a hefty rate for a single night’s stay. But when it comes to some suites, the price may be right. Take the $US50,000-per-night ($A62,750) Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel New York, for instance. The sprawling suite is a veritable palace in the sky, wrapping 360 degrees around the top floor of the I.M. Pei–designed hotel. It features such jaw-dropping amenities as a private spa with an onyx-clad chromotherapy tub, a personal fitness centre, and a Bösendorfer baby grand piano — all for just two lucky (and very wealthy) guests.

And believe it or not, the Ty Warner Penthouse isn’t the world’s most expensive suite — it’s shy of that distinction by about $US25,000 ($A31,300).

Here, we take a look at 11 penthouses, signature suites, and hotel apartments around the globe — including the world’s most expensive, located in Geneva. Featuring plush perks like chauffeured Rolls-Royces, dedicated butlers, private movie theaters, and in-room spas, these over-the-top accommodations might just be worth every penny.

The Private Apartment, Courchevel, France

Behind the fairy-tale façade of the French Alps’ Hôtel Les Airelles lie dazzling interiors inspired by Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who epitomised 19th-century Austro-Hungarian glitz and glam. Spend the night at the height of it all in the 550-square-metre penthouse Private Apartment, located on the hotel’s top floor and boasting panoramic views over the snowy peaks of the Trois Vallées.

The penthouse comes with four bedrooms — each with its own dressing room, tub, and steam shower — plus a fireplace-equipped living room, a private screening room, and a personal spa outfitted with sensory showers, an ice fountain, and a glass-walled sauna. A dedicated butler mixes cocktails at the private bar and serves guests while they soak up the stunning views on the expansive terrace or in the outdoor hot tub. One caveat: Les Airelles opens for the season on December 17, so you’ll have to wait until winter to fulfill this winter wonderland fantasy.

Chairman’s Villa Penthouse, Melbourne, Australia

It might be hard to resist the urge to run (or even bike) around the massive 38th-floor Chairman’s Villa Penthouse, spread over nearly 1020-square-metre in Melbourne’s crown jewel of a hotel, the Crown Tower. “Oversized” is the operative word here, from the armchairs and extra-large custom mattresses to the dining room with seating for 14 and the massive flat-screen television tucked behind works of art from the high-valued collection. Impeccable furnishings and a geometric, retro-inspired design help set the elegant tone, while a study, massage room, and gym ensure you’ll never want to leave. But it’s worth taking a break from all that over-the-top luxury to take advantage of the hotel’s many amenities, which include a spa, a casino, and gourmet dining from world-class names like Nobu, Heston Blumenthal, and Neil Perry.

Ty Warner Penthouse, New York City

In 1993, when renowned architect I.M. Pei built his gleaming 52-story tower on 57th Street, budgetary restrictions prevented him from creating the penthouse he had envisioned for the top floor. But when Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner purchased the Four Seasons Hotel New York in 1999, the sky suddenly became the limit (literally). Pei came out of retirement, along with interior designer Peter Marino and Warner himself, and spent 7 years — and about $US50 million ($A63.75 million) — crafting the award-winning, 400-square-metre space that today claims to be the most expensive one-bedroom suite in North America.

Four cantilevered glass balconies and walls of floor-to-ceiling windows put the 360-degree views front and center, while the interiors more than hold their own with details like hand-lacquered walls, a 1.2-metre-tall chandelier, bespoke fabrics, and decorative pieces picked up by Warner on his world travels. Along with the master bedroom — featuring a Thai silk canopy bed and Central Park views — there’s the master bath with an onyx-clad chromotherapy tub and steam-jet shower; a Zen Room, with indoor waterfall and South African green-granite walls; a private spa, outfitted with fitness equipment and serene lounging spaces; and an amazing library with cathedral ceilings, a skylight, a gilded bronze Lalanne chandelier, and a Bösendorfer baby grand piano.

In addition to living amid such luxury, guests enjoy such services as exclusive access to a chauffeured Rolls-Royce, a personal trainer, spa therapists, and a dedicated Guest Relations manager.

The Katara Suite, Milan, Italy

First opened in 1932, the Excelsior Hotel Gallia, a Luxury Collection Hotel has been recently reimagined by noted designer Marco Piva, who injected some contemporary elegance into the belle-époque interiors. That signature style is evident in the sumptuous Katara Royal Suite, which, at nearly 1020 square metre, is the largest in Italy. Guests arrive at the four-bedroom suite via private elevator and enjoy a spacious meeting room, private spa, and hot tub equipped with a chromotherapy shower. Of the two terraces, one offers seating for up to 12 (meals can be prepared by personal chefs in the kitchenette outfitted with French crystal and Limoges porcelain), while the other boasts a solarium. Enjoy 24-hour butler service and airport transfers and shopping trips in your own chauffered Maserati Quattroporte.

The Boulevard Penthouses, Las Vegas

Leave it to Sin City to top even the most expensive suite with a collection of mysterious penthouses that aren’t just unlisted — they’re by invitation only. Of course, that secret price tag only makes these accommodations even more alluring, as does their location on the top four floors of the Boulevard Tower. Created by a trio of fabulous designers including New York’s acclaimed guru of hospitality Adam D. Tihany, each suite comes with skyline views, soaring ceilings, notable artwork, and unique design touches like a life-size Pegasus statue, a hand-carved marble bathtub, or a human-size birdcage (complete with swing, of course). Guests of these accommodations enjoy a host of extra perks, the most exclusive of which is access to the hotel’s new Reserve, a private gaming salon with a $US1 million ($A1.25) minimum buy-in.

While we don’t know for sure how much these spectacular suites cost per night, it’s safe to assume they trump the Cosmopolitan’s other collection of extravagant rooms, the $US25,000-per-night ($A31,300) Penthouse Suites. Located on the hotel’s 70th floor, these accommodations are pretty spectacular on their own, with private chef’s kitchens, hot tubs, and sleek Palm Springs–inspired, mid-century modern design.

Royal Penthouse Suite, Geneva, Switzerland

Gather 23 of your nearest and dearest for a stay in this 12-bedroom, 12-bathroom Swiss penthouse, one of the largest in the world and — at $US75,000 ($A94,100) per night — surely the most expensive. Take a private elevator up to the Hotel President Wilson’s top level to access the full-floor suite, whose overnight guests have included a long list of celebrities and heads of state. Along with those bedrooms and marble bathrooms (the latter outfitted with Hermès bath products), facilities include a private fitness center, a salon, a boardroom, and a security room. Providing ample entertainment throughout are a Brunswick billiards table, a Steinway grand piano, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, a rare-book library, and a 103-inch television — one of only three in the world to be available in a hotel room. You’ll also enjoy access to a helipad; the services of a private butler, chef, and assistant; and an 1,672-square-metre terrace overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps.

The Apartment, London

There are plenty of reasons to visit London’s discreet Connaught hotel, from the new Jean-Georges at the Connaught restaurant to the city’s only Aman Spa. Our favourite reason, however, is the swanky Apartment, the property’s stunning, light-filled penthouse designed by late interior designer David Collins in a palette of bright blues and whites. Past the elegant living rooms — equipped with double-height ceilings, a wood-burning marble fireplace, and a well-stocked library — lie two bedrooms (the master with a four-poster bed), a dining room with seating for eight, and a pantry attended by your 24-hour butler. Take in views of Mayfair from the wraparound balcony, and express your inner artist by making use of the in-suite easel and art supplies. Guests in need of more space can add on a third bedroom or take the entire sixth floor to create a nine-bedroom suite.

Royal Suite, Paris

French Regency–style furnishings, beautiful antiques, and silks and damasks in rich tones of purple and red give this top City of Light suite its gilded name. Located on the fifth floor of Paris’s eight-story Hotel Plaza Athénée, the suite boasts panoramic views that stretch along Avenue Montaigne to the Eiffel Tower, plus private balconies from which to enjoy them. Inside, there are two master bedrooms (each with a sitting area) plus two additional bedrooms, four bathrooms stocked with bespoke amenities, two lavish living rooms, a separate dining room, and a kitchen. Take it all in while sipping a welcome bottle of Krug and watching one of the nine TVs (including two 85-inch Bang & Olufsen flat-screens in the master bedrooms) or relaxing in the hot tub and steam room. Suite guests also enjoy complimentary airport transfers and — particularly priceless for high-profile celebrities and heads of state — dedicated CCTV security monitoring of all entrances.

Royal Suite, Central Park

While all guests of the Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park enjoy prime views of Manhattan’s iconic green space just across the street, those who check in to the 184-square-metre Royal Suite get vistas on a whole other level — the 22nd level, to be exact. Take in panoramas all across Central Park from the living room (equipped with a telescope for a closer look), two bedrooms, and dining room, which can seat eight for a private meal. Other perks include Apery bath amenities, marble bathrooms with separate tubs and showers, soundproof windows, and Bang & Olufsen sound systems. Royal Suite guests also enjoy complimentary access to the Club Lounge, where all-day snacks and drinks and a dedicated concierge add to the leafy views.

Penthouse Suite, Sardinia, Italy

Located in Sardinia’s scenic Porto Cervo, the 100-room Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel is a favourite with celebrities, the international jet set, and guests looking to be part of a lively scene. When you’re done socialising, retreat to the butler-attended Penthouse Suite, where just over $US40,000 ($A50,200) per night will get you a host of cushy perks. Decorated in a colourful and whimsical fashion with nods to Sardinian artisan craft traditions, the 250-square-metre haven features three bedrooms and bathrooms (each with a hot tub), two living rooms, and a private gym, steam room, and solarium. With views of the glittering Costa Smerelda, the suite’s terraces, totaling nearly 250 square metre, include a large private swimming pool, multiple balconies, and an alfresco dining area with seating for eight — the perfect place to enjoy local dishes paired with a rare label from the suite’s dedicated wine cellar.

Forget a Bow Tie. Here Are 3 Black-Tie Accessories to Rock Instead

Stylist Tom Stubbs on ditching the bow tie this festive season—and what to wear alternatively.

By Tom Stubbs 21/01/2025

Black tie, that essential marker of an increasingly rarefied ceremonial style, is inspiring. Nothing coaxes men into upping the sartorial ante quite like reading those words on an invitation. I say amen to raising the bar, but I can’t bear wearing a traditional bow tie—and haven’t done so for over a decade.

Around the turn of the millennium, I was enthusiastically dress-code obedient, but two unstoppable forces put me off: Fashion moved on, and I got old. Where abiding by hallowed traditions once felt exalted, it suddenly began to seem restrictive and stuffy. And while it was extraordinary to be a bow-tied 30-something, in my 40s, the convention made me feel like a pompous, conservative square. Now, menswear has changed so much that bow ties register as pedestrian garb better suited to waiters than to revellers.

Fortunately, there are several black-tie alternatives that excite and inspire me now that I’m well into my 50s—many espoused by stylish guys on the red carpet and innovative designers in London, Paris, Florence, and Milan. And though I might take a bow on nonconformism as I step into my 60s, I still plan to steer clear of the bow tie, that ultimate symbol of gentlemanly customs, for as long as I can. Here’s what I’m replacing it with.

Form and Function

I got excited seeing Lemaire’s slim metallic modernised bolo ties in the house’s fall 2024 show. A favourite of men as varied as Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, and Snoop Dogg, the bolo is perhaps best remembered as the chosen neckwear of John Travolta’s surly hit man, Vincent, in Pulp Fiction. Originally, Native American tribes including the Zuni, Hopi, and Navajo used these accessories used to fasten bandannas with plaited-leather cords. High-end versions double as a bit of jewellery, with silver slides set with turquoise and often engraved with animal motifs, including buffalo skulls and eagles. Contemporary takes abound, but vintage sleuthing can turn up some particularly beguiling options.

Gambling Man

Varying in size, flounce, and attitude, ribbon ties—also called gambler or Kentucky neckties—have long been a legitimate black-tie alternative. Actor Cillian Murphy has worn Saint Laurent’s take to various award shows, looking stand-alone chic and authentically cool. They have a distinct Western energy—Kirk Douglas donned one as Doc Holliday in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, as did Robert Vaughan in The Magnificent Seven. But they’re as much rock star as they are gunslinger: The late Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls and Bauhaus front man Peter Murphy (style role models of mine) also wore them with panache. Take a note from the runway and wear them with a pair of boots—cowboy, Chelsea, or with a Cuban heel—to really step away from the standard.

Fit to Be Tied

If you want to give yourself some breathing room, consider scarves and neckerchiefs. This fall, Tom Ford proposed a louche take on evening style, using black, slim-plaited, or delicately sequined scarves whose long tassels provocatively dangle at the hips. For maximum effect, the brand styled them with open satin shirts, recalling rockers Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart. London’s La Bowtique also does beautiful outsize bows. On a smaller scale, the Twilly—a short silk scarf pioneered by Hermès—works in much the same manner. The French maison makes gorgeous options with angled ends for extra verve, whether hanging loose or more discreetly knotted.

The Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance—a beauty pageant for priceless classic cars—returns for another instalment at the city’s most intriguing, and unlikeliest, venue.

By Vince Jackson 15/01/2025

The logic behind staging a prestige automobile show on an island may, at face value, seem warped—history tells us that cars and water do not play nicely. The rationale twists further when said piece of land is a former shipyard that is, aesthetically, more workhorse ute than classic Ferrari. 

Scratch beneath the surface, however, and the decision to plant the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance on Cockatoo Island for the second year running begins to make locational sense: the steel arch of the emblematic bridge acting as photogenic backcloth; the UNESCO World Heritage site’s previous guises as 19th-century penal colony and eminent boat-building facility fleshing the show’s historical bones; the theatre of watching collectors delicately coaxing their four-wheeled artworks off a rusty roll-on/roll-off barge in the islet’s wharf before showtime. (After all, if owning a car in this stratosphere isn’t about projecting drama, then what’s the point?) 

Throw in an endless endowment of free Champagne for guests and VIP transport from the mainland via superyacht, and it barely matters that the three-day jamboree is, in the words of founder and curator James Nicholls, “a logistical nightmare”.

“People love the energy, the adventure” says the Anglo-Italian, a broadcaster, writer and photographer whose extensive resume includes various stints as a concours judge across the world. “There’s a great contrast between the luxurious motor cars and the industrial environment. The Turbine Shop [a timeworn, hanger-like space used to display the vehicles] is where ocean-going liners and propellers were built. People interested in cars are also interested in that kind of thing but it’s just a backdrop. Cars are the main focal point.”

The concours d’elegance concept (“concours” means “competition” in French) can be traced back to 17th-century Paris, when aristocrats would flaunt horse-drawn carriages in local parks during summer months. Animals eventually gave way to automobiles, and the gatherings mutated into more organised contests in which these new-fangled contraptions were, in somewhat prescient fashion, judged solely on the appearance. The trend spread throughout European high society, before reaching America in 1950 with an inaugural pageant at Pebble Beach, California—a concours which has since evolved into a behemoth of the species, now billing itself as “the world’s most prestigious car show” and drawing 214 vehicles and spectators in the low five figures at the last annual meeting. Other concours are thriving globally, from spectacles in Lake Como in Italy (the longest running event, launched in 1929) to Udaipur in India. Vanity, it seems, remains in vogue.

Among this storied company, Sydney’s interpretation is playing catch-up. But Nicholls insists the local variant—launched in 2019, having occupied three other citywide locations—has no intention of locking horns with competitors. Not numerically, at least. 

“In 2024, we had 500 people over the three days; this year we’ll aim for 750. But we’re never going to become a 20,000-people show,” he says. “We want it to be bespoke and beautiful, so people don’t have to queue for a glass of Champagne. You can talk to the car owners, and everyone feels like a VIP.” The overarching aim is to become a “destination event” on the socialite calendar, on par with the Melbourne Cup or the Australian Grand Prix.

While keen to keep paying visitors guessing, Nicholls offers Robb Report a sneak peek into some of the 44 objets booked to occupy the coarse, exposed-brick viewing hall, ranging from turn-of-the-century rarities to modern-day exotics: a 1905 Eugène Brillié 20/24 HP Coupé Chauffeur, believed to be the only one of its ilk left; a 1955 Porsche Speedster 356 “Pre A”, examples of which are valued in excess of $750,000; a Lamborghini Miura 3400, a model famed for its starring role in the opening sequence to 1969’s The Italian Job movie; a 2021 Audi R8 Spyder, an iteration that is no longer being produced and thus quietly accruing kudos.

Up to seven “classes” will be open, including categories solely for Porsche Speedsters and pre-war Australian coachbuilt cars. Two 1930s Bugattis are slated for appearance, one of which is, as this article is being written, on a boat somewhere, on its way to Australia. A panel of seven judges, led by the first ever female concours head assessor, who also adjudicated in 2024, will select the overall “Best in Show” winner—scored last time out by a 1964 Ferrari 250 LM, a model line with a $24 million price tag attached. And in a progressive play designed to lure the oil-shunning generation, an “electric elegance” section will debut. Nicholls estimates the combined value of all this precious metal at around $80 million.

While it would provoke an illicit thrill to discover that frenzied super-collectors were slyly puncturing rivals’ tyres or keying priceless bodywork—skulduggery has plagued other pageants, from dog show Crufts (canine poisoning) to Miss World (rigging allegations)—the entrants are, in keeping with the show’s refined, English-garden-party profile—a gentlemanly bunch. To a point. “They like meeting up, the community that’s here, but they do get competitive,” says Mark Ussher, the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance managing director, and on-the-ground organiser. “They care about their cars but they’re investors as well as collectors. If they win a concours anywhere around the world it adds value to the car.”

Which makes it doubly important that, surrounded by all that deep Harbour water, everyone remembers to put their handbrake on.

The Sydney Harbour Concours D’Elegance runs from February 28th-March 2nd 2025; sydneyharbourconcours.com.au

Jannik Sinner Is the First Tennis Player to Take a Luxury Bag Onto Wimbledon’s Centre Court

The 23-year-old Italian flaunted a custom Gucci duffle bag on center court.

By Rachel Cormack 21/01/2025

Jannik Sinner aced the style game at last year’s Wimbledon Championships.

The Italian tennis star turned up to his match against Juan Manuel Cerundolo with a custom Gucci duffel bag on his shoulder. It marks the first time a designer bag has been carried onto centre court in the history of the prestigious, centuries-old tennis tournament, as reported by Women’s Wear Daily.

The duffel, which Sinner describes as a “timeless classic,” showcases the house’s signature beige and ebony colorway, the iconic GG monogram, and a contrasting green and red web stripe. It also features the athlete’s initials near the straps. Ironically, the rather traditional design has called into question a 150-year tradition.

“For sure this will create a conversation,” Sinner told WWD before defeating Cerundolo in straight sets. “Bringing sport and luxury fashion together in this way is something that’s never been done before and I feel extremely proud to be a part of it. I hope people will love it as much as I do.”

Wimbledon’s dress code is extremely strict: Players have been required to wear white at the event since 1877, with not even off-white or cream permitted on the court. Tennis whites were originally instated as it was believed the ensemble showed less sweat, as reported by Time. The tradition has continued out of respect for the sport’s history and a desire to maintain formality.

The rules are enforced, too: Our own player Nick Kyrgios was allegedly fined $25,000 for rocking red Air Jordan trainers at 2023’s tournament. Interestingly, the decidedly non-white Gucci accessory was reportedly given the all-clear by the powers that be. A spokesperson for Gucci told WWD the house worked with Sinner’s team “for the approvals from the ITF (International Tennis Federation), ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals), and Grand Slams, including Wimbledon, to ensure the bag met the necessary requirements.”

The 23-year-old, who turned pro at age 18, became a Gucci ambassador in 2023 in his first luxury fashion endorsement. “Gucci for me represents Italian excellence around the world, excellence which is rooted in tradition as much as in innovation,” Sinner said. “This is the kind of message I am proud to convey when I represent my country wherever I am in the world.”

The Italian player was capture in action last week during his 1st round men’s singles match against Nicolas Jarry (from Chile) on day two of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park with more Gucci gear. Sinner carried a custom duffle bag crafted by HEAD and designed by Gucci to the men’s singles match on day two of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne.

Sinner will play Australian Alex de Minaur tomorrow 22 January at the Australian Open.

We Cherrypicked the Best Elements of Luxury Resorts to Create the Ultimate Fantasy Hotel

Everyone has a favourite hotel—but what if you could create your own? We envision the ultimate place to stay, combining elements of the world’s most noteworthy openings. 

By Mark Ellwood 15/01/2025

Forget fantasy football—what about a heavenly hotel? Imagine you could create one from scratch, cherrypicking the best aspects of the world’s most noteworthy recent openings and reopenings, combined into the perfect, impossible property. That’s what we’ve done, from the best rooftop restaurant for supper to the only beach club where’s it’s truly worth basking in the sun, this is the world’s ultimate hotel. The only thing we can’t arrange: the chance to check in.

FACADE                                                                                                                     Capella Sydney
Australia

It took seven years to turn this local landmark—the building once housed the departments of education and agriculture—into a luxury hotel. A honey-coloured jewel in a precinct awash with appealing sandstone facades, its crowning glory, literally, is the gleaming, four-storey glass addition that perches atop the structure like an architectural tiara.

SUITES
The Surrey, a Corinthia Hotel
New York City


After a full reimagining by Martin Brudnizki and its new operators, Malta-based Corinthia Hotels, this Upper East Side stalwart’s signature suites now include a quartet inspired by Central Park bridges. Mouldings nod to the structures’ architectural details, while hand-painted sketches inside the grandes armoires evoke the Ramble-adjacent Bow Bridge. 

RESTAURANT
Le Rooftop at Royal Mansour Casablanca
Morocco


Relax on the 23rd floor of this Art Deco-inflected skyscraper hotel and you’ll not only enjoy astonishing views over the water and toward the towering Hassan II Mosque, but you’ll also find yourself rubbing elbows with the coolest crowd in the city. Snag a sofa on the terrace before sundown and linger all evening. 

LOBBY
Peninsula London
England


Hong Kong’s Peninsula hotels are renowned for their fleet of high-end classic cars—a personal passion of billionaire owner Sir Michael Kadoorie. No wonder he struck a deal with Surrey’s Brooklands Museum for his latest opening in London: not only is the Claude Bosi-operated restaurant named in its honour, but the institution also makes available a rotating selection of outstanding vintage vehicles—most recently, a Bentley Blower and a Napier-Railton—for display in the eatery’s dedicated lobby, close to the Concorde nose installed overhead, sourced from Kadoorie’s personal collection.

BEACH CLUB
Borgo Santandrea
Italy


The dearth of standout beaches is the Amalfi Coast’s dirty secret, so this is a remarkable asset: walk down through the terraced, lemon-tree-filled gardens of this Gio Ponti-inspired hotel bolted to the steep cliffs by Conca dei Marini, and you’ll stumble upon its own beach club attached to the property. The restaurant sits in a renovated boathouse; feel free to snip some herbs from the mismatched pots filled with sage and basil.

SPA
Meritage Resort and Spa
Napa Valley

The naturally formed 2,044 m² Estate Cave, located 12 m underground, was already spectacular—its extensive menu of treatments includes both cave-stone massage and guided breathing and meditation sessions—but the $37 million rehab of this establishment thankfully doubled the size of the adults- only pool in front of Spa Terra. 

POOL
One&Only Za
abeel Dubai
UAE


This gravity-defying infinity pool, sitting atop the cantilevered link between the hotel’s two towers, has a clubby vibe, swim-up bars and sunken seating pods—and the fact that it’s Instagram catnip doesn’t hurt either.
