10 Most Expensive Hotel Rooms in the World (2026)

Let's pretend for a moment that money is no object. Perhaps you're a ridiculously successful entrepreneur, born into wealth, or you won the lottery. For whatever reason, you have more money than you could ever hope to spend. What would you do with it? One option: book one of the most extraordinary hotel rooms ever created. These aren't just places to sleep — they are experiences designed to redefine what luxury means. We've updated every price and property from our original 2013 list to reflect what these rooms actually cost in 2026.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Ty Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel on 57th Street occupies the 52nd floor with 360-degree views of Manhattan. The 4,300 square foot suite includes nine rooms, a Zen garden, a private spa with chromotherapy infinity soaking tub clad in onyx, a rock crystal master bathroom, a Peloton bicycle, a baby grand piano, and four glass balconies. Named after the Beanie Babies creator who donated $5 million for its design. One of the few hotel rooms where the design investment is visible in every detail rather than just the price tag.

The Cheval Blanc Randheli resort in the Maldives is built across several tiny islands protected by a coral reef, accessible only by seaplane. Its most expensive accommodation is a fully private island — a four-bedroom villa with its own beach, dedicated staff team, and complete privacy from all other guests. Getting there requires a seaplane flight specially designed for the resort. At $50,000 per night, it represents the ultimate expression of the "private island" concept — because it literally is one.

The penthouse at the iconic Hotel Martinez on the Croisette in Cannes is the preferred suite for celebrities attending the Cannes Film Festival. At 17,975 square feet — one of the largest hotel suites in Europe — it overlooks the Bay of Cannes through a 5,000 square foot terrace complete with sun loungers and panoramic sea views. The suite is only available during the two weeks of the Cannes Film Festival at peak pricing; outside festival season it can be booked for considerably less.

Situated on a private peninsula 40km south of Athens, the Grand Resort Lagonissi's Royal Villa is designed for — and regularly occupied by — actual royalty and heads of state. Indoor and outdoor heated pools, private beach, VIP check-in and check-out, two king bedrooms, a fully equipped business centre, kitchen, grill facilities, and a hairdresser. The setting — a private point of land with sea on three sides — is genuinely extraordinary.

Since its debut in 1907, The Plaza Hotel on Fifth Avenue has hosted world leaders, royalty, and Hollywood legends. Its Royal Suite — three bedrooms, three bathrooms, sweeping views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue — is decorated in French-inspired style by Thierry Despont with gold accents, crystal chandeliers, and curated original artworks. At approximately $40,000 per night in 2026, it is one of the most recognisable luxury addresses in the world.

The Royal Mansour in Marrakech is Morocco's most prestigious hotel — built by King Mohammed VI and opened in 2010. Its 53 riads (traditional Moroccan private homes) are connected by underground passages so staff never cross guests' paths. The Grand Riad — the hotel's most expensive accommodation at $30,000 per night — is a four-bedroom private home within the hotel complex, with a private hammam, courtyard garden, and cooking facilities. Three-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno oversees the culinary programme.
