Open-air bathtubs, rooftop pools and endless views feature in our latest collection of the world’s finest hotel suites.
Plus Bentley, Bedouins, Bottega Veneta and 18th-century Venice.
These are outstanding one-of-a-kind options in hotels you probably didn’t consider for your holidays.
They are all originals, offering a complete immersion in the destination they are based, whether in a city, on a beach or out in nature.
Opera Penthouse, Madrid
The Madrid EDITION, Spain
A private outdoor pool is extremely rare in the Spanish capital and it’s the highlight of this sprawling suite overlooking the historic city centre.
There’s a big private terrace, kitchenette, separate service entrance and large indoor living areas too.
Patron Canal Suites, Venice
The Gritti Palace, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Venice
Silk and velvet interiors recreate Venice of the 1700s at these suites overlooking the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice, at a hotel reflecting the pinnacle of Venetian luxury.
There’s embroidered damask drapes, a marble-clad powder room, and the non-stop bustle of Venice passing by the window.
Villa Ruby, Mykonos
Santa Marina, A Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos
A two-level villa with prime hilltop location at the Santa Marina Resort, with a cliff-edge infinity pool and four en-suite bedrooms. Also consider the three-bedroom Villa Lapis Lazuli.
This is the resort that can deliver genuine exclusivity on a small island. These villas provide complete privacy and a sense of space, with all the resort facilities and service.
Bottega Veneta Suite, Rome
The St. Regis Rome
The complete Bottega Veneta brand immersion, with virtually everything in this suite coming from the fashion house’s home collection, from cashmere throws to Intrecciato leather pillows and a Meta armchair.
It’s almost like a private Bottega Veneta showroom, with marvellous views over Piazza San Bernado and Piazza Della Republica in the heart of Rome.
WOW Suite, Budapest
W Budapest
Inspired by the White Swan Queen Odette in Swan Lake, the top suite at W Budapest is all curved lines, pink hues and Ballet Étoile aesthetics.
The private balcony overlooks the Hungarian Opera House and the private bar is a showstopper.
The Reykjavik EDITION Penthouse
Reykjavik EDITION, Iceland
Reykjavik Harbour and Mount Esja, the most iconic view for a first night in Iceland. And the best view is through the floor-to-ceiling windows of this penthouse.
There’s a fireplace, a balcony, and panoramic views of the lingering Icelandic sunset.
Imperial Suite, Vienna
Hotel Imperial, A Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna
This is definitely not our favourite hotel in Vienna. But the six-metre ceilings and old-world extravagance make this Imperial Suite a one-of-a-kind stay.
Think crystal chandeliers, precious antiques, oil paintings, ceiling ornaments and the bygone glory of the Imperial Empire.
EDITION Penthouse, Tokyo
The Tokyo Toranomon EDITION, Japan
Unrivalled panoramic views over Tokyo are the main highlight of this suite overlooking Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Bay. It’s Japanese minimalism meets the vastness of the city.
And it offers space. In a city where the average suite size is significantly smaller than Europe, this penthouse is a vast apartment complete with an island kitchen and big living areas.
Mandapa Suite, Ubud
Mandapa, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Indonesia
Surrounded by rainforest and rice fields in the heart of Ubud, the cultural centre of Bali island, Indonesia.
In a popular tourist destination, this is a very tranquil place to enjoy Bali’s nature, especially from the marble-lined bathroom which opens onto the balcony.
Bedouin Suite, Dubai
Al Maha, A Luxury Collection Desert Resort & Spa
A complete Arabian desert immersion, only one hour by road from Dubai. With a private swimming pool overlooking the dunes.
We like the Bedouin Suites for their handcrafted Arabian furnishing, antiques and understated tented style. The Royal Suite is larger although a lot heavier on the classic Arabian design.
Sky Rooftop Villa, Riviera Maya
The Riviera Maya EDITION at Kanai, Mexico
Measuring over 2,500 square metres, this is one of the world’s largest hotel suites. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide Caribbean Sea views from three sides and one of the pools is almost Olympic sized.
Inside it’s a vast villa, with five separate apartment-like suites with private pools and jacuzzis, plus all the shared space that includes the best rooftop in the Riviera Maya.
Marvellous Suite, Mexico
W Punta De Mita, Puerto Vallarta
A bathtub open to the Mexican sky, surrounded by plants, in the middle of an open-plan hotel suite.
Step out from this unusually laid out suite and there’s a private pool, direct beachfront access and an outdoor jacuzzi.
Bentley Suite, New York
The St. Regis New York
A collaboration between the car and hotel brands resulted in this 15th-floor suite filled with signature Bentley details. The curtains are even trimmed with Bentley seat belts.
There is a burl-veneer dashboard and a crystal chandelier of interlocking circles to resemble the flying B’s moving gears and wheels. Plus a huge amount of space for a suite in New York.
What’s Your Dream Hotel Suite?
Everybody has different accommodation preferences. Everybody likes different styles and demands different amenities.
Quality is our number one consideration and that’s one reason we’re personally inspecting so many hotels every year.
We also appreciate hotels that reflect their destination. We don’t believe in travelling halfway around the world to have a cut-and-paste hotel experience you can find anywhere.
Hotel suites are not only a place to sleep. They can be your immersion in the place you came to explore.
