10. The Royal Suite – Burj Al-Arab – $28,000
Most Expensive Hotels - Burj Al-Arab

Starting off the list of the most expensive hotels in the world is one of the most well-known hotels, the Burj Al-Arab. 

Located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Burj was marketed as the worlds first ever seven-star hotel, and it goes without saying that it most definitely lives up to expectations. 

It’s the seventh-tallest hotel in the world and was designed by architect, Tom Wright, to resemble the sail of a ship.

The hotel stands on a man-made artificial island, that’s only accessible to the mainland by a private curving bridge. 

As well as all the lavish bells and whistles you’d expect to find inside a seven-star hotel, like an underwater restaurant that’s accessible by submarine; the Burj Al-Arab also has its very own private helipad, near the roof, approximately 210 metres above sea level. 

One night in the royal suite will cost you a minimum of $28,000. 

The 780 square-metre suite, set over two floors, is decorated in 22-karat gold and comes with a private dining area and butler, spa, private lounge and numerous staff to answer your every beck and call. 

Not bad for $28,000 a night!
