A Glimpse Into Five of the Most Luxurious Hotel Suites in the World..

It’s more important than ever for hotels to offer a suite that is fit for kings, queens, presidents… and you. In a world where words such as ‘luxury’ and ‘exclusive’ are overused to a point of almost completely losing the impact that these words once possessed, savvy travelers today expect amenities, services and overall grandeur to exceed even their own discerning tastes. Whether the travel is business, pleasure, or perhaps a bit of both, these suites have something special that create a spacious and comfortable “home away from home” in several of the most exciting cities around the world.

Rosewood London

GRAND MANOR HOUSE WING (585SQM / 6,295SQFT)

Simply entering Rosewood London has a way of impressing everyone fortunate enough to pass through the towering archway that opens into a grand Edwardian courtyard – this little oasis of tranquility is unique among London luxury hotels and makes a stately first impression. Inside, one of the most dramatic features is the Renaissance-style grand staircase towering seven-stories that splendidly anchors this grand area, complete with the elliptical dome overhead. The hotel is located in one of the capital’s most historic thoroughfares, High Holborn, and provides plenty of culture to compliment the hotel’s gourmet dining and afternoon tea options.

The Rosewood London’s Grand Manor House Wing goes far beyond a suite, as it’s the only suite in the world to possess its very own postcode. With a private entrance and elevator, the residence is situated on the second story and is a single level that includes six spacious bedrooms and extraordinary bathrooms. Though guests hate to leave this prestigious London Address that has more than enough room for a family to vacation in luxury, the complimentary use of the Rosewood London car with driver is available when guests decide to venture out into the city. www.rosewoodhotels.com/london

TY WARNER PENTTHE ROYAL SUITE (450SQM / 4,850 SQFT)

Outside, the unmistakable red awnings and picture-perfect courtyard set the scene for a fairytale visit to this Parisian landmark, and inside, the exciting interiors inspired by haute couture provide a cutting-edge feel.

The Royal Suite is simply timeless elegance, while also being the largest four-bedroom suite in the entire city of Paris. The 18th-century paneling provides guests with that quintessential Parisian feel in the room, and is perfectly complimented by the French Regency furniture and other antiques that are accented by the silks, damasks and posh fabrics.
