EXPLORE TOP 100 SUITES

THE BACCARAT SUITE BACCARAT HOTEL, NEW YORK Think of Baccarat, and the heritage brand’s fine French crystal glassware comes to mind, so it’s only appropriate that Baccarat Hotel — launched in 2015 and thought to be the first of a bigger collection— is bejeweled with crystalware and finished with the craftsmanship seen in their sparkling creations. The one-bedroom 1,740-sq-ft Baccarat Suite encapsulates this magic, fusing modern Parisian chic with magnificent detail in champagne, ivory, platinum and chocolate brown. White marble surfaces, gleaming wood paneling and herringbone floors are the backdrop for custom furnishings, crystal adornments and a mural of a fantastical garden. Gaze out at the city through floor-to-ceiling windows and sip champagne in your ensuite bar. From$16,000 per night.

ARMANI DUBAI SUITE ARMANI HOTEL, DUBAI

You’d expect a hotel designed by Giorgio Armani to be stylish, and the Armani Dubai Suite has the signature hallmarks of Armani — it’s all clean, subtle sophistication. The suite occupies the 39th floor of the towering Burj Khalifa, offering bird’s-eye views of the bustling city belowwithout the crowds. The calming, neutral decor is a refreshing palate cleanser to the outrageous designs seen elsewhere in Dubai, but with glossy touches such as the polished wooden bathtub. The 4,200-sq-ft sanctuary has two bedrooms, living and dining rooms, full-service bar, pantry, private gym and study, and all rooms blend seamlessly into one another — there are no door handles, only sleek sliding doors, which add to the zen-like atmosphere. From$8,170 per night. Contact Mark Kirby,
