The most expensive hotel suite in the world has 20 rooms and costs £80,000 per night.

Atlantis the Royal Dubai opened in January 2023 and took the top spot for the most expensive hotel suite in the world, dethroning the £60,000 suite at the Palms Casino Resort.

The suite features four bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, bar and games area, as well as an office over two floors, and a huge terrace with an infinity pool.

The suite is on the 18th and 19th floors on the building’s covered bridge, offering views of landmarks including the Burj Khalifa, Ain Dubai, and the Arabian Gulf. 

“We wanted it to be very elegant, very grand, very opulent; something that would appeal to everyone,” Atlantis president Timothy Kelly told Architectural Digest. “There’s a lot of marble here, and it’s very individual, large, articulated pieces that are positioned in a way that allows the stone to serve as art,” adds Kelly.

Calacatta marble largely defines the 12,140-square-foot space, lining the walls, floors, and island in the kitchen to the bathroom. Marble can feel hard, so textiles like silk curtains, silk wool rugs, and 800-thread-count sheets were added to soften the hard edges.

You’ll find gold-plated toothbrushes, combs and razors, as well as Hermès toiletries, Frette robes, an extensive pillow menu, a 146-inch television, and a custom Louis Vuitton ping-pong table.

“Our clients are very particular about their needs,” says Kelly.

While the suite can accommodate up to nine adults and four children, all rooms in the block it is located in can be connected to the Royal Mansion—making a total of 20 rooms.
