Two years have passed since Billionaire.com first compiled The World’s Most Expensive Hotel Suites. Now, even deeper pockets are required to book one of these ultra-exclusive suites.

The world’s previous number-one hotel suite, the Royal Penthouse Suite at Geneva’s Hotel President Wilson, has lost its crown to New York ‘super suite’ The Grand Penthouse at The Mark. Including taxes, this eye-watering suite costs the best part of US$100,000 for a single night.

Designer of the Grand Penthouse, acclaimed French designer Jacques Grange, says: “It is really like a castle in the sky; the ultimate residence away from home for those who truly appreciate rarefied luxury; who seek a grand space that is equally equipped to lavishly entertain as it is to provide a homely private oasis with extraordinary amenities and services.”

Currency fluctuations and price hikes over the last two years has meant that some suites are now worth a lot more, or a lot less, than they were. In this year’s ranking we are including taxes in the room rates, seeing as those nightly charges alone could pay for a 10-day vacation package for most mere mortals.

This expansive hotel space is the world’s new number one, with a room rate of US$75,000 and additional city and state taxes of nearly 15 percent. At the end of last year, décor guru Grange added the final touches to the grand penthouse suite which is spread over the top two floors of the building. Below the lofty ceilings there are five bedrooms with custom-made furniture, a library lounge, two wet bars and a dining room that could easily fit a party of 24. A private elevator takes you up to a rooftop terrace with breathtaking views of the city, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park. Chef Jean-Georges, who operates the hotel’s signature restaurant, can prepare a special romantic menu served on the terrace. There’s even in-suite hair styling by Frédéric Fekkai Salon and round-the-clock suit tailoring from Bergdorf Goodman for penthouse guests.

Average price per night (inc tax)US$57,384

Square meters: 400


Soaring more than 200m above the city, on the top floor of Manhattan’s highest hotel, the Ty Warner penthouse used to be the most expensive hotel suite in the US. If you want to stay a night, be ready to fork out 10 percent more compared to two years ago. Named after the billionaire owner of the Four Seasons Hotels in New York, this suite took seven years and a staggering US$50 million to build. And it shows. The vision of legendary architects IM Pei and Peter Marino, every inch of this suite is beautifully conceived — from the 18th century Japanese silk pillows to the extensive library filled with hundreds of volumes on art and culture. Penthouse dwellers will enjoy exclusive chauffeured Rolls-Royce Phantom service, personal trainer and full spa treatments. Unlimited caviar and Champagne are also de rigeur.
