Beautiful Highend Hotels

[octopi]

What would be your choice for luxury hotel room? Not necessarily the most expensive, but the most interesting rooms, extras or location... or simply the most ostentatious and ridiculous.

To clarify:
- Hotels only. No vacation rentals or properties
- Price isn't the determiner, but it should be over $400 USD a night
- Post pics of the rooms if you can


Some contenders:

Bridge Suite @ Atlantis, Bahamas
This was listed as the world's most expensive hotel room on Forbes magazine. It's $25000 a night. "Regular rooms" run $275-470.

Includes: hand painted linens, you are located over the 'bridge' of this uniquely designed hotel, two separate master bedrooms (ten rooms in all)



Park Hyatt, Tokyo
$400-1200 USD a night
Used in the movie "Lost In Translation"
Also included: Not much, except for a state of the art fitness facility, touch control lighting and a library of rare books.




Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi (screw you, Burj Al Arab, you're ugly)
$400 - 13000 USD
Photos of this hotel were distributed and said to be pictures of one of the local Sheikh's palaces

Included: a private beach, 50 to 61" plasma screen tvs, a parking spot for your yacht, a wide selection of 'dream' cars available to drive you about and beautifully tacky gold leaf decor.




Peninsula, Hong Kong
$350 - 5000 USD
One of Asia's institutional hotel chains
Other 'extras': your own butler, use of the hotel Rolls Royce, bespoke spa treatments



Amansara, Siem Reap, Cambodia
$675 - 875
Angelina Jolie stayed here while filming Tomb Raider.
Also includes: driver to take you to Ankor temples, or bikes to borrow. They charge $75 "boarding fee" on top of hotel room cost for breakfast and drivers to take you out. There are spiritual guest lectures and yoga classes. When I was in Siem Reap, I paid $3 a night for my accommodation. It's a really noticeably out of place hotel in this tiny town.





Skylofts @ MGM Grand, Las Vegas
(I know they have a mansion, previously for special guests only that they have started renting out, too)
$590 - 6000
Included: personalized stationary, a butler, "bedding menu", waterfall showers, in loft espresso machines and Bang & Olufsen products




Hufaven Fushi, Maldives
$850-3500
A small boutique hotel, each room on it's own walkway in the ocean.
Included: a deep infinity edge sink tub located so that it 'floats' over water, your own infinity pool and aquarium, a butler on call and a very remote location, 200 m out on the ocean.

Nice post. I can't imagine paying $25000 a night for a hotel room. Especially on Paradise Island.

It comes with cheerleaders. End of thread.
