Luxury penthouses are the trend right now as people want to live in spacious, well-aerated apartments with lots of natural light and thoughtful, timeless decor. When one is away from home, they want to board a hotel with penthouse suites that meet their needs.
We have consolidated some of the world’s most spectacular penthouse suites and listed the five most outstanding:
- The Royal Bridge Suite-Atlantis, Dubai
We cannot talk about luxury unless we start in Dubai. Dubai is the world destination of luxury, decadence and opulence, so it comes as no surprise that The Royal Bridge Penthouse Suite should top our list. This suite occupies 924 square metres only. So, what makes it outstanding?
It is the 360 degrees panoramic view of the Dubai skyline. Wait, not just a view of the skyline. Most penthouses offer that. But a view of the skyline from the sea out to the land! How is that even possible?
It is Dubai. The impossible is made possible!
This suite has high towering ceilings that shoot into the Dubai skyline, flooding the Penthouse with delightful Arabic light.
There are 24-hour butler and chef services.
- The Presidential Suite-Intercontinental, Hong Kong
Sitting on a 7,000 square foot floor, this Penthouse is the largest in Hong Kong and the most famous in the Asian Continent.
The Presidential Suite in the Intercontinental has an infinity swimming pool and Jacuzzi, round-the-clock butler, chef and chauffeur services and an impressive terrace.
- The Silo-Silo Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa
As the name suggests, this hotel is a reclaimed silo. The 2,012 square foot Penthouse Suite sits on the tenth-floor elevator tower hotel. Its most outstanding beauty is the unique bulging windows curved out of the silo walls. These windows offer a spectacular panoramic view of The Table Mountain and the city.
The walls are lined with delectable pieces of African art and history.
Nightly rates at the Penthouse range between $5,500 TO $10,000.
- The Royal Penthouse Suite-Hotel President Wilson, Geneva
A darling of politicians and high-riding celebrities, this Penthouse’s strongest feature is security and privacy, on top of the other amazing features that qualify it as a penthouse on our list.
At approximately $52,500, this suite has steel-reined doors, a private helicopter evacuation pad, bullet-proof windows and doors, a human-sized safe and private elevators.
This Penthouse is built for high-security individuals who want to get away and stay alive due to the nature of their jobs.
The Penthouse is equipped with a Steinway grand piano, fitness center and a vast terrace overlooking Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva.
- Hugh Hefner Sky Villa-Palm Resort, Las Vegas
Working every day and no playtime makes you a dull boy. This Villa is the ultimate play penthouse suite!
Sitting on 10,000 square foot two floors, this Villa is built to mimic the Playboy mansion, with only three bedrooms, a glass elevator for a little dancing, a private spa and a Jacuzzi that extends into the gym and steam room. All utility areas in this Penthouse suite are interconnected so that play never stops!
The icing on the Playboy cake is the rotating bed equipped with a pool table!
