20 Hotel Suites Around the World That Are Almost Too Luxurious

Who hasn’t wanted to spend a night underwater? That dream is possible at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, a luxury hotel with a three-bedroom suite built both above and below the sea. The residence, which can only be booked through a direct query to the hotel, also has its own team of butlers and staff to make your stay unforgettable (as if you would forget sleeping adjacent to tropical fish). The hotel itself has an overwater spa, several pools, a kids club and numerous dining options, making it a place where you can fully get away from it all.

Not only does the Lagoon Suite at The Retreat at Blue Lagoon overlook Iceland’s famous geothermal waters, but the room actually has its own private lagoon just outside. There’s a lot included in your stay beyond that, as well, from guided daily hikes to breakfast to yoga classes. It’s the ideal place to relax, especially since the suite requires a minimum two-night stay, and guests have access to all of the hotel’s spa offerings, including the renowned “Blue Lagoon Ritual.” The hotel is also home to the Moss Restaurant, so you won’t need to go far to find authentic Icelandic cuisine.

Gaze out over Victoria Harbor from the Peninsula Suite, a massive set of rooms that includes a ten-seat dining room, a private screening room, personal gym and two bedrooms.

Generally, though, it’s the high-level amenities that set any Peninsula hotel apart from the rest, whether you want to control everything in the suite with touchscreen panels or you want to open a drawer and find a fax machine. The hotel also has an amazing pool, spa and gym, and the massive breakfast buffet requires at least two hours to fully enjoy.

Twin Farms, an all-inclusive luxury resort in Vermont, is a bucket list experience in itself.

It comes with all the Twin Farms amenities, like farm-to-table dining, customized picnic lunches and unpacking services so you never have to lift a finger. The hotel is ideal any time of year, with activities tailored to the season, but fall is probably the most picturesque time to visit (especially when you can watch the leaves turn from your private in-room hot tub).

Be like Meghan Markle the night before her wedding to Prince Harry and stay in historic Cliveden House, a luxurious stately home hotel just outside London. The three-bedroom Spring Cottage is detached from the main house and located right on the banks of the River Thames, offering both views and privacy.

Although you’ll have your own kitchen, be sure to take high tea in the Cliveden dining room and then book into the spa, which has an infamous outdoor pool that’s open year-round.

Everything in Dubai is luxurious, from the shopping to the hotels to the beaches, but the Burj Al Arab’s two-bedroom Presidential Suite goes above and beyond—just look at the bathroom alone!

Don’t miss Gold On 27, the hotel’s cocktail bar, which offers a serious array of creative, themed drinks.
