The 9 Most Expensive Hotel Rooms in the World

Updated on July 22, 2017 at 6:15 PM

For many of us, staying in any private hotel room feels like a luxurious experience. Just give us a bathrobe, freshly cleaned sheets, and a mint on our pillow, and we'll be happy.

But let us give you a tour of some of the world's most expensive hotel rooms, which can cost guests upwards of $45,000 per night (seriously). If you're willing to drop a year's salary on a single night in a luxury suite, you'll get a taste of the decadent life of the ultra rich. For $41,000 per night, you can relax in your hotel bed beside paintings by Picasso and Matisse at the penthouse suite at the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez in Cannes. For $45,000 per night in the presidential suite of India's Raj Palace, you can live like a king or queen in a room filled with ivory furniture and gold-leaf-painted walls. And we thought we were living it up when we take a drink from the mini bar and buy a movie on pay-per-view. If you want to live a night like a billionaire in one of these hotel rooms, you better start saving your travel points now . . . or get really good at sweet-talking the front desk into a room upgrade.

If you happen to be a billionaire reading this looking for a place to crash for the night, we've compiled a list of the world's most luxurious and pricey hotel rooms. If you are not a billionaire but want to see some of the most over-the-top hotels on the planet, check out the photos ahead! With currency fluctuations and constant pricing changes, it can be difficult to keep a definitive list, but here are some of the most expensive hotel rooms money can buy.

Presidential Suite at the St. Regis, New York City

Price per night: $35,000

This gorgeous suite offers 3,430 square feet of space (in Manhattan!), views of Central Park, a formal dining room, butler service, and access to the hotel's Bentley Mulsanne (a car that retails for around $300,000).

The Palace, Jumeirah Bodrum Palace, Bodrum, Turkey

Penthouse Suite at the Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France

Price per night: $41,000

This stunning penthouse in the French Riviera boasts 17,976 square feet of space, including a 3,122-square-foot terrace overlooking views of Boulevard de la Croisette.

Ty Warner Penthouse Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, New York City

Price per night: $45,000

The Four Seasons describes this 4,300-square-foot penthouse as "an architectural and artistic masterpiece." The suite, which was designed by legendary architect I.M. Pei, comes with a private spa, a chauffeured Rolls-Royce, and in-room massages. From the 52nd floor of the Four Seasons, 500 feet above Manhattan, guests can take in panoramic views of the city from four glass balconies. It makes sense why the Four Seasons describes the room as "less a suite, and more a multi-layered work of art."

The scenery at Fiji's Laucala Island Resort may be the most breathtaking of anywhere on this list — and that's really saying something. Guests require preapproval to rent the Delana Hilltop Estate, which costs upwards of $44,000 per night. Plus, minimum visits are four nights, so to dip your feet in the private pool, you're looking at a bill of $176,000 (you could buy an entire house with that money!). If you're as wealthy as the villa's billionaire owner, Red Bull cofounder Dietrick Mateschitz, then the price tag is worth it. The estate offers 20,000 square feet of bedroom space, a chauffeur, a private cook, and access to your own private airstrip.
