Living a life of luxury means acquiring the best and most expensive of even the smallest things. Sometimes, it may have nothing to do with functionality and everything to do with the name of the brand and how they make its consumers feel.
This time, it’s the luxury hotels we’re unpacking. If any of these cities are on travel itinerary, you could make a stop to admire the opulence so often spoken about. From Dubai to Thailand and Hong Kong, these are the best and most expensive hotels on the globe in no particular order.
1. The Burj Al Arab, Dubai
Often referred to as the only “seven-star hotel” in the world, the Burj Al Arab beckons to all who lay eyes on it. It was built in 5 years from 1994 to 1999 when it opened its doors to guests and has stayed on top ever since.
The Burj has so many attractions like the 24-carat gold walls, the all-suite rooms with complimentary Hermes utilities, and an impressive 17-pillow menu to ensure every guest uses their choice pillows for maximum comfort and sleep. It stands about 16m taller than the Eiffel tower and rests on its own man-made island.
