World's top suites showcase some extravagant features

Elite Traveler, the New York-based private jet lifestyle magazine, has released its 13th annual list of the most extravagant 101 hotel suites in the world. With a price tag equal to a middle-class yearly salary, it highlights the most decadent innovations in the world of luxury hotels.

At $ 56,000 for one-night stay, the InterContinental Geneva is the most expensive suite on the list. Dubbed The Residence, the suite is split into two wings and features floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the city. It also includes a grand salon, library, gallery, massage room, hammam, tub room, living and dining rooms, and a fitness room and sauna.

At the W Hotel in Leicester Square, London, guests staying at the E WOW suite have their own DJ station at their disposal, and can either lounge on the giant revolving Chesterfield sofa or turn it into a dance floor under a giant disco ball dome.

In addition to a sumptuous stay in a gemstone-inspired suite, the New York Palace will throw in a diamond ring designed by jeweller to the stars Martin Katz with every booking at the Jewel Suite.



Spanning 5,000 square feet, the suite extends over three levels atop the 53rd floor. If you travel with a grand entourage or just need space — lots of it — Straffan House at The Kildare Hotel, Spa & Country Club, located about 30 minutes away from Dublin, may be what you're looking for, as the villa sprawls across 34,000 square feet.

In addition to the 10 bedrooms, the apartment comes with an indoor swimming pool, cinema, spa, wine cellar, private concierge and chef. Overall, the list is represented by 35 countries. The US dominates with 20 hotels, followed by China (10), UAE (9), Mexico (6), England (6) and Switzerland (5). The top cities are Dubai and London, with six each.
