4 Most Luxurious Hotels Worldwide

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel to the most elegant hotels in the world? We were curious too, so here is a list we curated of the four most glamorous vacation stays.

Burj Al Arab, Dubai

On a small artificial island off the coast of Abu Dhabi, you will find the most luxurious hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab. This “seven-star” hotel is shaped like a sail and is roughly 90 stories tall. With a calming view of the Arabian Gulf from almost every side of the hotel, this destination is the perfect place to live lavishly while being removed from the chaos of a city. This grand hotel is home to some of the best restaurants in Dubai, a private aquarium and 108,000 square feet of outdoor space, including several pools. The inside of the hotel is castle-like, with gold interiors, high ceilings and chandeliers making visitors feel like royalty.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Italy

The Grand Hotel Tremezzo, located on the edge of Lake Como near the Swiss border, is an architectural masterpiece that treats guests to incredible views and amenities. There are multiple pools, a private beach, a park, and a marina on the hotel's grounds, all far away from busy roads and onlookers. Of course, in Italy, there is always delicious food, and this 5-star hotel does not fall short. The hotel has five restaurants– both fine dining and casual options– all with gourmet food. Sample local Italian wine on a deck overlooking the lake and fall in love with the scenery, hospitality and food of the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. 

The Plaza, New York City

As soon as The Plaza finished construction in 1907, it became the place to stay for members of the upper class. Located on Fifth Avenue and overlooking Central Park, there’s never a dull moment at this stunning hotel. The Plaza is built in the French Renaissance style– complete with crystal chandeliers, marble floors, painted ceilings and golden decor. The hotel even has a ballroom where many celebrities have gathered for weddings, as well as has been mentioned in novels like “The Great Gatsby”. 

Titanic Mardan Palace, Turkey

The Mardan Palace, located in Antalya, Turkey, is nothing short of spectacular. It boasts the largest pool in the Mediterranean and offers countless fine dining options, 17 bars, luxurious suites, spas and 24/7 service catering to your every need. The hotel is built around an enormous swimming pool that spans six square miles. The palace also has a variety of other pools both indoor and outdoor. If pools aren’t your thing, take a dip in the ocean or walk on the six-mile stretch of the hotel’s private beach.
