The World’s 10 Most Luxurious Hotels

Travelers go on vacation to escape the daily grind and see different cultures. Do you want to do it elegantly? Then staying in a five-star hotel during those nights of travel will be the ideal approach to unwind and make new memories. Every traveler should have the opportunity to experience the elegance that comes with some of the best hotels and resorts in the world.

Everyone can save some money and have an exceptional stay at least once in their lifetime, despite the fact that people only link these locations with riches and view them as the playgrounds of the wealthy. Here are ten of the world’s most luxurious hotels.

1. The Plaza, New York City

The Plaza, with its bejeweled decor, is one of the top choices for VIPs, with the Royal Three Bedroom Suite being the most expensive room. This magnificent piece of luxury property was built in 1907! It has a big dining room that can accommodate up to 12 guests, a movie-like library, a private gym, a grand piano for any visiting virtuoso, and a full kitchen for the VIP’s personal chef. Did we forget to add the private elevator?

2. Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai

This hotel’s out-of-this-world architectural design resembles a gigantic sail. Nonetheless, it is its otherworldly guest service that qualifies it as one of the world’s most extraordinary hotels. We can’t decide which we’d prefer: the in-suite check-in, the 24/7 butler service, or the Rolls Royce fleet, each reserved for specific VIPs, which, by the way, frequently includes royalty!

3. The Westin Excelsior, Rome

The Westin Excelsior Hotel, founded in 1906, is both the Plaza’s peer and a well-known lux adornment of Rome. The hotel blends traditional architecture and hand-painted cathedral-like domes with modern amenities like private workout areas, massive jacuzzis, and even formal dining rooms. This hotel’s largest suite covers two complete stories, however, strangely, the Westin Excelsior also provides some reasonably priced rooms!

4. Atlantis Paradise Island, Bahamas

The destination exudes elegance, and the Atlantis Paradise was undoubtedly designed to reflect that spirit. This opulent resort, built as a tribute to the legendary city of Atlantis, encompasses 141 acres of sheer hedonism. The Bridge Suite, with its 10 rooms equipped with full-length windows and towering 3.5m ceilings, is undoubtedly its most known amenity. The suite also has its own entertainment centers, 7 personal butlers to care to your every need, and a stunning formal dining room with a 22-karat gold chandelier towering over the space.

5. Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

Another tropical paradise, but this time it’s underwater! The Conrad Maldives is one of the most distinctive lux hotels on our list! Though the hotel’s numerous top-tier restaurants, personal butler service, and private jet skis are more than enough to entice VIPs, the main attraction is undoubtedly its two-level suite with a bedroom almost 5 meters under water and ceiling-high windows that allow you to see the island’s marine life up close!

6. Taj Lake Palace, India

The beautiful Taj Lake Palace is a floating hotel in India with a vintage history! The structure was erected in 1746 and has been completely intact to this day, even appearing in one of the older James Bond films! Aside from its magnificent suites, opulent rooms, and great restaurants, the hotel also offers Indian aromatherapy on a floating wooden barge for a total relaxation experience.

7. The Boulders, Arizona

Though we typically associate luxurious hotels with gold railings, gleaming marble-floored lobbies, and two-story penthouses, the Boulders Hotel defies expectations by boasting breathtaking nature as its main asset: primarily its surrounding rock formations that are over 12 million years old!

This massive resort is located in deserty Arizona and is synonymous with a refreshing spa trip with lavish treatments, golf courses, and private villas designed for VVIP’s whose names are supposedly not allowed to be disclosed until they have died! Talk about class.

8. Amilla Glamping, Maldives

The Maldives earned another spot on our list because to yet another example of cutting-edge hospitality. The Amilla Glamping Resort is set in a tropical paradise that is also a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, complete with blossoming flowers and white sand beaches. For glamping fans, its main selling point is translucent bubble tents with climate control and 360-degree vistas of unspoilt nature. If you don’t like camping, there are 200 square meter villas available!

9. Raffles, Singapore

It’s no surprise that, since its inception in 1887, the Raffles Hotel in Singapore has hosted many notable authors, including Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, and Somerset Maugham! Apart from its gorgeous architecture, this hotel is well-known for its multiple Michelin-starred restaurants, including Alain Ducasse and Anne-Sophie Pic. Needless to say, a visit to this hotel would be both scenic and a culinary spa.

10. Giraffe Manor, Kenya

The Giraffe Manor features magnificent apartments, four-poster beds, and expansive balconies overlooking a field of rare Rothschild’s giraffes that guests may feed! Concerned about how close the giraffes are or if they are maintained in inhumane conditions?

Everything is fine! The hotel is an official collaborator of the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, and it is assisting in the conservation of giraffes by providing them with natural, open space! In other words, by visiting this luxurious hotel, you’re also helping a great cause!
