The World’s Most Expensive Hotel Suite Is In…

After the world’s most expensive dress, and one of the (if not the) most expensive spa treatments, the world’s most expensive hotel suite seemed like the appropriate topic for this week’s Fantasy Friday. With a total of 1680 square meters (an astounding 18,000 square feet) and 12 (twelve!) en-suite bedrooms, this suite is larger than most homes.

Eagle-eyed readers will have spotted a hint of the location based on the distant view of the Jet d’Eau – one of Geneva’s landmarks, and the home of Hotel President Wilson, where you can find this “Royal Penthouse”, occupying its entire top floor. And yes, that is James Bond staring at you from a 103-inch B&O television.

Let's continue dreaming, shall we?

Naturally with this kind of floor space, there’s room for everything you can imagine and more. A Steinway grand piano, a billiard room, a salon, and a dedicated fitness center, because penthouse residents wouldn’t want to do their morning run with the rest of the hotel guests. A full team is on call 24/7, including a personal assistant, chef, and butler. Arrival and departure at the hotel is possible via the helipad.

The guest list here is not surprisingly also heavy on famous names, leaning more to political heavyweights that are in town to visit the United Nations nearby (Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, but also Sir Richard Branson, Michael Jackson). Given the caliber of penthouse residents, security is taken very seriously, with private elevator access, bullet-proof windows, and a safe / panic room. We suppose those who require the bullet-proof windows will have to forego drinks on the private balcony overlooking the city. What a shame!

The Royal Penthouse comes screeching in at a gut-wrenching $81,000 a night. A Superior room with king bed is available at the Président Wilson, which is part of Starwood’s Luxury Collection, for a slightly more palatable 380CHF (just over $400) early December. See? We try to make some dreams come true.
