Million Air Winter 2022

HI STOR IC

Taj Lake Palace Udaipur, Grand Presidential Suite RAJASTHAN, INDIA Bursting with color, saturated in grandeur and stunningly beautiful, this former palace (once used as a summer retreat by the Mewar Royal family) has been a hotel since 1963. The hotel’s serene island locale was used as a setting for the James Bond fi lm Octopussy , and the turquoise lake views and gorgeous sunsets provide a heightened sense of romance. The Grand Presidential Suite, charming and opulent, is the most lavish space in the hotel; the private balcony o ff ers panoramic views of not only the lake, but the city of Udaipur too. Measuring 1,734 sq ft, the suite features one bedroom, a fi ve- fi xture bathroom and a private dining room with round-the-clock catered service.

Ra ffl es Singapore, Sir Stamford Ra ffl es Suite SINGAPORE An architectural feast for the eyes,

Ra ffl es Singapore is just as glamorous as it was when it was fi rst built back in 1887. It’s a true pillar of purely decadent, grand luxury, and Somerset Maugham’s statement — “Ra ffl es Hotel stands for all the fables of the exotic East” — still rings true in 2022. Like the hotel’s Presidential Suite, the Sir Stamford Ra ffl es Suite overlooks the picturesque Palm Court, and comes with its own private veranda, a remarkable collection of curated artwork and antiques, and majestic living spaces that make you feel you’re in a palace rather than a hotel. Choose between the hotel’s one- or two-bedroom options, each of which include a parlor, dining room, pantry and dressing room. From $18,000 per night.
