The 10 Most Expensive Hotel Rooms in the World

All prices approximate as of March 2026. Rates vary by season, availability, and minimum stay requirements. Some suites require casino credit or pre-approval for booking.

#1 — Royal Mansion Suite, Atlantis The Royal, Dubai (~$100,000/night)

Opened in 2023 on Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Royal is Dubai's newest and most ambitious ultra-luxury hotel. Its crown jewel — the Royal Mansion Suite — spans 11,840 square feet across two floors connected by a private elevator. The entrance hall features century-old olive trees. Terraces on both sides overlook the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf. Four bedrooms, a full kitchen, a bar and games area, a private infinity pool, and bespoke butler service are all included. Gold-plated amenities and Hermès products throughout. Beyoncé stayed here during the hotel's launch. At $100,000 per night, it is one of the two most expensive hotel rooms in the world.

#2 — Empathy Suite, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas ($75,000–$100,000/night)

Designed by artist Damien Hirst — who sold a diamond-encrusted skull artwork for $99 million — the Empathy Suite is a two-storey, 9,000 square foot penthouse that functions as a private art gallery and hotel suite simultaneously. Original Damien Hirst works are displayed throughout, including preserved sharks in formaldehyde cases and custom furniture. Two master bedrooms, a private pool cantilevered over the Las Vegas Strip, a massage room, and a salt relaxation room. The suite currently prices at approximately $75,000 per night, though it previously listed at $100,000. Guests without a $1 million casino credit line pay the cash rate.

#3 — The Mark Penthouse, The Mark Hotel, New York (~$75,000/night)

The largest hotel suite in the United States at over 10,000 square feet, spreading across the top two floors of The Mark Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four fireplaces, two wet bars, and a grand living room with 26-foot ceilings that converts into a ballroom. Overlooking Central Park. Regular guests have included Oprah Winfrey, Selena Gomez, and Meghan Markle. At $75,000 per night it requires the kind of net worth where you don't check the bill.

#4 — Royal Penthouse, Hotel President Wilson, Geneva (~$80,000/night)

The Royal Penthouse at Hotel President Wilson has occupied its position near the top of every expensive hotel room list for over two decades — and with good reason. Spanning an entire floor of the hotel with 12 luxury bedrooms and 12 marble bathrooms, it features a Steinway grand piano, a rare book collection, bulletproof windows (the security system is hotel-approved for heads of state and billionaires), and panoramic views of Lake Geneva and the Alps. A Jacuzzi overlooking the lake. Personal chef, butler, and full fitness suite within the room. Former guests reportedly include Bill Gates and Richard Branson. Updated rate: approximately $80,000 per night.
