They say the view is better from the top, and apparently, everything else is too. The demand for penthouses and ultra-luxury hotel suites for the one percent and top-tier celebrities seeking a champagne and caviar escape has never been higher.
That’s why the world’s leading hospitality brands keep raising the stakes with their suites.
“Travelers with ultra-high net worth are drawn to spaces that reflect their individual styles and interests,” says Kimberly Denison, founder of luxury travel agency Denison Travel. “Suites that offer opulence, insight into a location or property’s unique story, and luxury on their own terms remain in high demand.”
With these mega-suites rivaling the size of many mere mortals’ homes, Sunil Metcalfe, sales director at Black Tomato, points to the prestige of having ample space to enjoy time with family and friends in an otherwise tight cosmopolitan setting. He also notes the challenge hotels face in creating rooms that are better than their guests’ own homes. “A client once told me, ‘Never book a room worse than your own,’” he says.
Want to outdo the biggest high rollers, not just anywhere, but in their own playgrounds? We’ve selected the finest new ultra-luxurious suites from Brazil to Dubai, according to the RobbReport website.
1 – Rosewood São Paulo
Located in the heart of São Paulo, you can practically feel the city’s pulse from the penthouse on the 27th floor of the Rosewood. This brand-new suite stretches over three floors atop the Mata Atlantica Tower, with unbeatable floor-to-ceiling views over the sprawling Brazilian metropolis.
Elevating São Paulo’s luxury standards, award-winning creatives Jean Nouvel and Phillipe Starck designed every inch of this 1,114-square-meter, four-bedroom penthouse. Most materials were sourced locally, such as Sucupira wood floors, Itaúba wood walls, Martira marble bathrooms, and tribal décor spread throughout.
Its lush rooftop garden and 92.9-square-meter Vitoria Regia marble infinity pool transport you to the Brazilian rainforest with tropical flowers and swaying palm trees overhead. Stays here include 24/7 butler service, food and drinks (yes, including champagne), and a chauffeured car, plus a team of security agents. The hotel’s Asaya Spa by Guerlain also has an exclusive-use area for penthouse guests.
From $42,000 per night
2 – Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Images of Marina Bay Sands’ slanted towers are plastered across Singapore ads worldwide. This household-name hotel has undergone a $1 billion renovation in recent years; the result is more than 1,000 revamped rooms, including its ultra-refined Paiza Collection.
The collection’s new presidential suites, overlooking Singapore’s skyline, are made for entertaining — in serious style. Their 360 square meters include two bedrooms, a media room with a 100,000-song karaoke machine, a fully stocked Italian Arabescato Corchia marble bar, a golf simulator, and a gym.
And when it’s time to wind down, the beds might just be the most comfortable in the city. Handmade by Savoir, their artisans use centuries-old techniques, hand-processed horsehair layers, Mongolian yak wool, and pure cashmere to induce a supernatural night’s sleep.
A stay in one of the presidential suites also includes a butler, dining credit at its restaurants, and a professional photo shoot at the hotel’s world-famous infinity pool.
From $22,000, minimum two-night stay
3 – Park Hyatt New York
In honor of its decade-long status as a Central Park staple, the Park Hyatt New York has unveiled its new three-bedroom Manhattan Suite. Occupying 325 square meters on the hotel’s top floor, it’s located in a private wing for added peace and quiet 25 stories above Billionaire’s Row.
Channeling the vibe of a tech billionaire à la Tony Stark, the suite’s design is ultramodern and sleek, with clean lines, geometric lighting, travertine stone, slate surfaces, and copper fixtures. Its wet bar, butler’s kitchen, and private office make it an ideal base for business travel.
And when it’s time to unplug, its 5.5-meter floor-to-ceiling windows over the city’s glimmering skyscrapers remind you to set the phone down and enjoy the view. Plus, in the city that never sleeps, Bryte Balance king-size mattresses help fight jet lag with multisensory AI-powered technology for a longer, better night’s sleep.
From $42,000 per night, minimum two-night stay
4 – Claridge’s, London
The grand dame of Mayfair has just received a glamorous makeover — and she looks fabulous. After 130 years of welcoming guests through its Art Deco revolving doors, the hotel has completed a six-year major renovation. While London is currently experiencing a hotel boom, the Penthouse Suite at Claridge’s, designed by the renowned Rémi Tessier, is hard to beat.
Spanning an impressive 1,500 square meters, guests enjoy 360-degree views of London from the ethereal heated pool and terrace. The space often feels like the world’s most comfortable art museum, housing the largest private collection of Damien Hirst works, an impressive “lake” sculpture, and a grand piano encased in a copper and glass shell facing the sunset.
Finer design touches include Lebanese wood, green onyx fireplaces, and a custom-made 360-degree rotating circular sofa. Its four en-suite bedrooms feature exclusive details like rounded windows, adjustable circular skylights, cedar wood, onyx bathrooms, and furniture designed by Tessier himself.
From $66,000 per night
5 – Atlantis The Royal, Dubai
In the true capital of bling, the new Atlantis The Royal delivers all the flashy décor and glam design you’d expect. Located on Palm Jumeirah, this new hotel is home to one of the most expensive suites in the world: the Royal Mansion.
With a jaw-dropping price tag comes unmatched levels of luxury. This two-story suite on the 18th and 19th floors of the hotel’s bridge spans more than 1,114 square meters and is accessible by private elevator. Once the doors open, its double-height ceilings and stunning views of the Dubai skyline and Arabian Sea leave you speechless.
Two centuries-old olive trees welcome guests to the marble outdoor living room with hanging golden chandeliers. The elegant décor extends through its four bedrooms and bathrooms, living room, bar, and lounge.
As impressive as the interiors are, its two outdoor areas steal the show. One side features submerged water seating and winding dining spaces, while the other boasts a transparent infinity pool — a welcome escape during Dubai’s scorching heat.
From $86,000 per night
6 – Ultima Quai Wilson, Geneva
On the shores of Lake Geneva, just past Rolex and Chanel boutiques, Ultima Quai Wilson sits on the southern edge of this global banking hub. Comprising five full-floor apartments inside a building dating back to 1875, the property shows how the hotel’s dedicated design team masterfully blended pre-war charm with the world’s finest finishes.
The penthouse spans three full floors and includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms, spacious living and dining areas, a private gym, and a rooftop terrace with snowy views of Mont Blanc. Handcrafted Italian velvet furniture rests on light chevron wood floors, and Dark Emperador marble adorns the bathrooms.
The building’s underground spa includes a sauna, hammam, two treatment rooms, and a jacuzzi. Guests can also request a private chef to prepare fondue in the kitchen equipped with Miele and Smeg appliances, a private chauffeur, or a house manager available around the clock to fulfill every wish.
From $12,000 for a stay of seven to 30 days
7 – Raffles at Galaxy Macau, Macau
Macau has long been a destination for high rollers looking for a wild weekend escape from Hong Kong. In recent years, several ultra-luxury hotels have bet big on this location — including the brand-new Raffles at Galaxy Macau.
The hotel’s Signature Three Bedroom Pool Suite sits in a palatial 418-square-meter space on the sixth floor. An ode to the home of a fictional 14th-century Italian merchant, the suite’s interior details include a White Statuario marble fireplace, mahjong table, European and Asian artworks, and hand-crafted crystal chandeliers.
But the jackpot is its outdoor terrace featuring a 40-square-meter heated pool and jacuzzi. Additional perks of staying here include 24/7 butler service, a Rolls-Royce on standby, a selection of rare Chinese teas, and access to dinner menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs.
From $58,000
