Like millions of others, your hotel experiences so far might involve
lumpy mattresses, soggy toast and grumpy receptionists. However, there
is a whole other world out there, where hotels are filled with every
treat and luxury that you can possibly imagine. If you’ve ever wanted to
see how the other half holiday,
now’s your chance. Below we’ve listed ten of the most expensive hotels
in the world; bear in mind that the prices listed are per night

$32,000
If you can afford the $32,000 per night price tag, you can have the
use of this hotel’s on-site recording facilities to record yourself a
holiday jingle. Alternatively, there’s a built-in theatre for you to
catch a film on the big screen. This hotel certainly has a lot to keep
guests entertained, but if you do fancy venturing elsewhere, there are a
couple of private Jeeps which can whisk you around this fabulous
Caribbean island
09 – Presidential Suite at the St. Regis, New York
St Regis Hotel New York
$34,000
This hotel in the centre of New York used to be the home of the
legendary artist Salvador Dali. Nowadays, it contains the Presidential
Suite, which will set you back $34,000 per night. In return, you will
get two bedrooms, a library, a kitchen of the highest quality and
spectacular views of Central Park. Guests also have the use of the
hotel’s private Bentley. It might be unbelievably expensive, but it
would be money well spent

$39,000
This hotel is home to the biggest hotel room in the whole of Paris –
and the biggest price tag. For $39,000 per night, you can stay in a very
elegant interior, with décor straight from the Regency period. This is
pure opulence, especially when you take into consideration the steam
room, Jacuzzi and three reception rooms

$39,000
Dietrich Mateschitz – the billionaire who co-founded the Red Bull
empire – is the owner of this incredible resort. Guests are only
permitted to stay if they have been referred or invited, so it is a
truly exclusive experience. This is one of those cases where the estate
offers everything you could possibly need, want and imagine; a private
nanny, a 72-hole golf course, a top-notch spa and a horse riding school
are just a few examples of the facilities. All of this does come at a
fairly hefty cost – no less than $39,000 per night
04 – Hugh Hefner Sky Villa, Palms Casino Resort

$40,000
How many people have dreamed of having a taste of the Hugh Hefner
lifestyle? It’s easier than you might think – if you have a spare
$40,000 to spend on a single night’s stay, that is. Located in Vegas, it
includes everything that you’d expect from Mr Playboy himself (apart
from the bunnies), including a rotating bed! However, that’s not all. A
Jacuzzi overlooking the Strip, along with a gym, pool, poker table, spa
room and much, much more all go into this fantastic suite’s facilities
03 – Ty Warner Penthouse Suite, Four Seasons New York

As if the on-call chauffeur and personal trainer weren’t enough, the
Ty Warner Penthouse Suite at the Four Seasons New York offers 360° views
of the city which are enough to take your breath away. In fact, this
extravagant suite is bigger than most apartments. It’s all yours for an
eye-watering $44,000 per night

$44,000
Sitting in joint second place is the Maharajah’s Pavilion at Jaipur’s
Raj Palace Hotel. At this magnificent hotel, $44,000 can buy guests a
single night’s stay in Asia’s biggest suite. It’s just about as
extravagant as they come, with gold leaf adorning the walls and
furniture in gold and silver. A stay here might not make your bank
balance feel too good, but it should leave you feeling like a million
dollars
01 – Royal Penthouse Suite at Hotel President Wilson, Geneva
Royal Penthouse Suite
$68,000
The most expensive hotel in the world by a long way is in Geneva: the
Royal Penthouse Suite at the Hotel President Wilson costs a staggering
$68,000 per night. When you’re paying that much money, who needs just
one marble bathroom when you can have twelve? In addition, the suite
comes kitted out with bulletproof windows and a dedicated security team
for the guests’ protection. However, perhaps the most impressive part of
this suite is its magical views across the Alps and Lake Geneva. If you
can afford this, you really will be living the high life. After all,
some of its patrons have included Rihanna, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates,
so if it’s good enough for them then it must be something more than just
a little special
