Grandeur awaits at every turn, but check in to The Penthouse for a real taste of Parisian luxe. The eighth-floor, two-bedroom suite spreads across 1,630 sq ft, every inch of which is bedecked in a light, airy palette adorned with sumptuous gilded touches. The main bathroom is a wonder: Kitted entirely in cream marble, a standalone tub sits in the middle.

Other lavish amenities include a private bar, Baccarat crystalware, roundtrip airport transfers and a collection of antique books to (carefully) comb through. The biggest highlight? The enormous terraces on two sides, offering 360-degree views of the City of Light – including a direct look at the majestic Eiffel Tower in all her glory. From €27,000

In a further-flung part of Rajasthan, Udaipur, the White City, perches on the banks of Lake Pichola. The Aravalli Range, jagged mountains that served to protect bygone kingdoms from invaders encircle it, complicating access. Considered sacred by many, the city hosts scores of extravagant Indian weddings — events that can last for days. Prepare for the fetes at the lofty Taj Lake Palace, which seemingly floats on the water, occupying its own island. The retreat’s showpiece Grand Presidential Suite is the peak of timeless opulence. As preciously detailed as Udaipur’s characteristic glass mosaics and miniature paintings, the suite enchants with glittering chandeliers, rich fabrics, historical art and hand-carved furniture. Its wondrous bed reigns as Maharani worthy. Spread out amongst the haven’s 1,734-sq-ft, while watching the lake’s shimmering waters through panoramic windows. From $12,800.

Ornate gilded furnishings, parquet floor so highly polished you can nearly see your reflection, 17-ft tall ceilings and 18th-century Chinoiserie style canvas-covered walls — Hotel Château du Grand-Lucé claims that the Baron’s Suite is the most extravagant accommodation in all of Europe, and we might be inclined to agree.

The unapologetically luxurious one-bedroom suite also features a private library, full to the ceilings with classic French tones (and a writing desk, just in case inspiration takes hold); a fine art collection; a marble-clad bathroom; and a petit lounge area.

If you can bear to drag yourself away from your private quarters, take dinner at the farm-to-table Le Lucé restaurant, or enjoy a stroll through the hotel’s 74 acres of pristinely manicured gardens. From $5,560 per night

A landmark of the city itself, there’s a reason why The Savoy has endured as one of London’s first luxury hotels and today shines as one of the finest.

As the hotel’s crown jewel, and as its name would suggest, the Royal Suite remains the check-in of choice for visiting royalty, world leaders, and stars of all arts. Meaning, as one can expect, the apartment-style suite is decorated with an old-English-style grandeur that wouldn’t look out of place in a Stately home.

The suite features a dining room, multiple large reception rooms, a primary suite and a connecting guest suite, and a dedicated butler and in-suite dining to put all rests and cares at ease. Spanning the entire riverside of the hotel’s fifth floor, the suite makes for prime viewing of the city’s signature sightseeing spots.

Proudly counted in Paris’ prestigious list of Palace hotels, Hotel de Crillon is a mainstay on the city’s luxury circuit. Part of the revered Rosewood group, the grand building overlooks the Place de la Concorde (where, historically, all of the royal beheadings took place – in fact, given the fact the building was first built in 1758, it would have been a prime place to watch said beheadings).

Beheadings firmly outlawed, Hotel de Crillon now offers 78 rooms and 46 suites — the most sought-after of which are the Grand Appartments. Although technically two separate suites, the Grande Appartements can be conjoined to create one sprawling abode. Still need more space? A third bedroom can be added to create a three-bedroom apartment. Inside, grandeur in its finest form awaits: expect paneled walls, glittering chandeliers, Dronault pillows and duvets, a formal sitting area and bespoke furniture. From $52,410 per night.

Found at Palazzo Papadopoli — one of the eight sizable palazzos that line Venice’s Grand Canal — Aman Venice delivers a level of luxury that is absolutely worthy of this historic city-state. At once both historically sympathetic and fantastically modern, Rococo works of art are paired alongside the contemporary subtleties of Jean-Michel Gathy’s interiors to create a refined ambiance. Situated a short walk from the city's central hub, Piazza San Marco, it proves to be the ultimate base for those looking to explore the city.

Those looking to fully immerse themselves in Italian heritage will adore the 1,108-sq-ft Alcova Tiepolo Suite, where guests are surrounded by 18th-century frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Expect gilded ceilings and vast windows that gaze upon the hotel’s garden terrace and a beautifully painted sitting room with a fireplace. From $8,700 per night.

A suite fit for a queen is promised often, but few deliver as exquisitely as the Suite Impériale at The Ritz Paris. The 2,347-sq-ft suite channels the full glamour of the French royal court — minus the Revolution’s more unpleasant finale.

Drawing inspiration from the Château de Versailles, it’s a time capsule of 18th-century elegance. The pièce de résistance? The bedroom is modeled after Marie Antoinette’s own, complete with a sumptuous silk-draped canopy bed, ornate mirrors and authentic period furnishings.

Guests can revel in the suite’s intricate craftsmanship while soaking in panoramic views of Place Vendôme, the perfect outpost for guests seeking a sense of history with Parisian savoir vivre. From $51,600 per night.

Long before George Clooney moved in, glitterati flocked to Lake Como, ever a paragon of nature at its finest. Gadabouts and pleasure seekers aplenty came to its shores for inspiration, many taking repose at the extraordinary villas that dotted the shores. One of those grand homes, Passalacqua, which captivates from the verges of the village of Moltrasio, has hosted the likes of Winston Churchill and Napoleon Bonaparte.

Now assiduously restored, it welcomes guests as a 24-suite hotel, a work of art in itself. Embellished with frescoes, gild, hand-blown glass chandeliers and artwork, Passalaqua sums up Italian Baroque at its finest.

Its romantic, 2,700-sq-ft Bellini Suite encompasses a music room where the 19th-century composer Vincenzo Bellini wrote some of his most famous works. As exquisite as the rest of the villa, with lake vistas and ornate interiors, it boasts a particularly ethereal Murano chandelier, the centerpiece of a soaring vaulted ceiling. From $10,000 per night.

In a place as flashy and exuberant as Dubai, it can be no easy feat to hold on to the title of most lavish. But the Presidential Two-bedroom Suite has done just that — it’s featured in our Top 100 Suites for the past five years and beyond with good reason. Unashamedly opulent, the two-story mezzanine is awash with royal tones and glittering gold.

The two bedrooms have master bathrooms completed with full-size Jacuzzis and separate dressing rooms. There’s a living room and a separate dining room for eight people, a library, plus two in-suite bars (because why have one when you can have two) which can be customized to stock your favorite libations. There’s also a separate staff entrance with a butler’s kitchen. From $17,120 per night
