5 of the Most Expensive Hotels in the World

April 26, 2010 | Featured, Miscellaneous

Awhile ago I went through the world’s weirdest hotels and most of these hotels were highly affordable, just a bit weird is all. However, the hotels listed here are not weird; in fact many are nicer than the homes that we all live in. No, these hotels are expensive, very expensive. To stay here you need to have a lot of money in your pocket. One night in these hotels will cost you more than most people pay for their mortgage all year long. This is certainly not for anyone who makes less than a few million a year. If you can afford these places though, be prepared to stay in the lap of luxury!

At only $35,000 a night, you will get more from this apartment than you own home has. In fact, you may love staying in this apartment so much that you do not want to say anywhere else! What does this hotel have for you? Well, it’s located on the seafront boulevard, one of the most famous in the world, and the hotel features a world-class restaurant, private beach and a piano bar. If you decide to stay up in the Penthouse Suite of this hotel, you will enjoy your own sitting room, dining room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, shower, spa bath, dressing room and a sauna.

Oh, did we mention that there is also a large terrace that overlooks the sea? You also get your own butler while you stay here. Most likely that butler makes more than we do considering the price of the penthouse he helps to take care of. Some other things this place includes are plasma televisions, marble baths, and all the rooms are completely sound proof so you don’t have to worry about anyone disturbing you.

Situated on top of the Four Seasons Hotel, this nice, large penthouse suite occupies the entire top floor and gives you a complete 360 degree view of the skyline of New York City. With 4,000 square feet at your disposal, you can enjoy this nine-room suite which is named after Ty Warner, the person who created the billion-dollar Beanie Babies industry.

You aren’t just paying for the size of the penthouse suite here when you put down $33,000 per night. The fabrics woven in this penthouse suite are woven with platinum and gold threads. There is a Zen garden within the penthouse and a four-foot high glass chandelier. You get your own butler, therapist, trainer and chauffeur when you stay here as well. This is truly the nicest place to stay in what may be the most famous city on the planet.

For a mere $33,000 you can stay at one of the nicest hotels in all of Europe. The Hotel President Wilson, Royal Penthouse Suite in Geneva Switzerland is one of the most beautiful hotel rooms in the world and, well, also one of the most expensive. What do you get in this hotel room? Well, you get many period pieces from the 1920s and 1930s in your hotel room. You have a grand piano and billiards table from the 1930s for one thing, as well as an amazing view of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.

In addition, you get your very own elevator so you can come and go privately without dealing with anyone. In addition, and this is important if you worry that someone is going to try and kill you, you get surveillance cameras, bulletproof windows, armored doors and even panic buttons next to your bed. With all of these paranoid items, you have to wonder exactly who is staying in this hotel room. Now it should be pointed out that if you just have a lot of money you cannot stay here.

To qualify to stay in this room, named for the former president of the United States who once stayed in the room, you need to either be a head of state or a celebrity. This is probably why the room is so expensive because only heads of state and celebrities are going to be able to afford it. It should also come as no surprise that one of the meeting places for the United Nations is located only five minutes away.
