Burj Al Arab, Dubai, UAE
The bi-level Royal Suite at this most decadent of Dubai hotels spares no expense: with 24-karat-gold iPads, a private cinema, personal butlers, uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, and a menu of 13 different kind of pillows, it’s enough to make even the most jaded of travelers feel like a sheik. The largest of its three bathrooms, a jaw-dropping 1,163 square feet, has marble floors and gold finishings throughout, plus a rotunda-style tub with a pillar-supported roof and an abundance of seating areas. Bath products and fragrances are Hermès and—an added touch—full-size.
