8 Most Expensive Hotels In The World: Luxury Beyond Limits

An old saying goes, “Money cannot buy you happiness.” Well, the truth of this statement is left for you to decide. But one thing I know is that you need money to buy a space in any of these hotels to enjoy any of the facilities offered.

Here are the top 8 most expensive hotels in the world.

1. Lover’s Deep – Luxury Submarine Hotel – $150,000

Yup, you read that right, this hotel is the most expensive in the world. $150,000 per night gets you an exclusive right to spend the night underwater in a submarine (did you think you would be staying on land for this amount?). The hotel/submarine is located in St Lucia and offers its occupants an opportunity to be taken around the Caribbean underwater.

The submarine hosts the captain (you will need one for your cruise), a private butler, and a chef. Many other add-ons (optional, of course) to sweeten the pot, like beach landings and helicopter rides, among others – and you get transferred to and from the hotel/submarine by a speed boat.

Lest I forget, this submarine is a 5-star hotel – therefore, you are definitely in for a treat. p.s When I take my ride in this submarine, I will come back to update this list on my experience.

2. The Palms – Empath Suite – $100,000

The second most expensive hotel in the world came as a result of an extensive redesign of the old sky villa suite by Damian Hirst – a British artist.

The result? Empathy suite with a $100k price tag. The suite has two master bedrooms, massage tables, a cantilevered jacuzzi, a salt relaxation room, and an opportunity to tour the art collections within the hotel.

3. The Royal Penthouse Suite – Hotel President Wilson, Geneva, Switzerland – $80,000
