Have you ever wondered what the most expensive hotel in the world is?

Well, forget your typical $200 – $500 a night weekend getaways, as the ones on this list start at $28,000 a night!

From luxury penthouse suites, overlooking breathtaking city vistas, to lavish underwater hotels, the pricy pads on this list have it all.

So, if money is no object for you and you’re looking for your next premium getaway, then here’s a list of the 10 most expensive hotels in the world.

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

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!
