The most expensive hotel room in the world is The Mark Penthouse in New York, with a published rate of $114,767 a night including taxes, a figure recorded in April 2025. Hotels rarely post these rates, so every number below is a published or reported nightly rate, not a receipt. We rank six suites by the latest rate we could trace and flag how old each one is.
| Rank | Suite | Hotel, city | Nightly rate (USD) | Rate dated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The Mark Penthouse | The Mark, New York | $114,767 incl. taxes | Apr 2025 |
| 2 | Royal Mansion | Atlantis The Royal, Dubai | about $100,000 | Jan 2023 launch |
| 3 | Empathy Suite | Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas | $100,000, two-night minimum | 2019 to 2021 reports |
| 4 | Royal Penthouse Suite | Hotel President Wilson, Geneva | about $80,000 | Jan 2026 ranking |
| 5 | Ty Warner Penthouse | Four Seasons, New York | $80,000 | Nov 2024 |
| 6 | The Muraka | Conrad Maldives Rangali Island | about $50,000 | 2018 launch |
1. The Mark Penthouse, New York: $114,767 a night
The penthouse at The Mark, on the Upper East Side, holds the record for the highest published nightly rate for a hotel room or suite, at $114,767 including taxes as of April 22, 2025. It covers more than 10,000 square feet of interior space plus a terrace of about 2,500 square feet, with five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
Earlier press put the same suite at $75,000 a night in 2018 and 2020, so the published rate has climbed by roughly half in five years. The record covers this one suite only, and final quotes vary with dates and services.
How we valued it: published nightly rate including taxes, recorded for the April 2025 record. It is a starting rate, not a booking receipt.
2. Royal Mansion, Atlantis The Royal, Dubai: about $100,000 a night
The Royal Mansion sits on the 18th and 19th floors of a resort that opened in January 2023. It is described at more than 11,000 square feet, sleeps up to nine adults, and comes with a butler, a personal chef, a security team, a private infinity pool and a private elevator.
The resort itself promoted about $100,000 a night as the world’s most expensive room when it opened. We found no later rate, so this figure is dated to launch.
How we valued it: rate quoted at the January 2023 opening, rounded to the nearest $10,000. It is likely to have moved since.
3. Empathy Suite, Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas: $100,000 with a two-night minimum
The two-level suite was redesigned by artist Damien Hirst and reported at $100,000 a night with a two-night minimum, which means a $200,000 bill before you leave the lobby. It replaced an older villa that was reported at around $40,000.
A Palms representative later said the rate had been lowered to $75,000, so the number moves with demand. Reports also said that guests with a credit line over $1 million could stay free, which tells you how the suite is really sold: to high rollers.
How we valued it: rate reported in 2019 to 2021 coverage, with the later $75,000 figure noted. We could not find a 2026 rate.
4. Royal Penthouse Suite, Hotel President Wilson, Geneva: about $80,000 a night
This suite fills the top floor of a lakefront hotel and has been the standard-bearer of the category for years. The older description is a private lift, four bedrooms, bulletproof terrace windows and views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc.
The hotel does not publish a fixed price. A January 2026 ranking gave $80,000, while earlier reports quoted $75,000 to $80,000 and one list went far higher. We use $80,000 as the most defensible midpoint.
How we valued it: reported nightly rate. The hotel states no fixed tariff, so treat $80,000 as our reading of several reports.
5. Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons, New York: $80,000 a night
The 52nd-floor penthouse reopened with the hotel in late 2024 at a reported $80,000 a night, up from $50,000 in earlier coverage and $40,000 in a 2013 ranking. It covers about 4,300 square feet and has a single king bed.
The jump placed it above the Mark’s then-quoted $75,000 until the Mark’s rate moved again.
How we valued it: reported rate at the November 2024 reopening. Earlier figures are shown only for context.
6. The Muraka, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island: about $50,000 a night
The Muraka is a two-level residence with an undersea bedroom, which opened in 2018. Coverage at launch said a night could cost as much as $50,000, and one report described a four-night package of $200,000 with a private boat and personal chef. The hotel group would not give an official rate.
How we valued it: launch-era reported figure, rounded. No current rate was available.
Rates that moved in 2025 and 2026
The Mark’s $114,767 rate, recorded in April 2025, is the one real change at the top of the table, and it pushed past the $100,000 line that Dubai and Las Vegas used to share. In New York, the Four Seasons reopened in late 2024 with a penthouse rate of $80,000. We found no verified 2026 rate for any other suite.
What happened to the old picks
Our earlier version of this list named the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo at $25,000 a night and the Westin Excelsior in Rome at $29,000, among others. Those rates date from the 2010s and we could not confirm them today, so we no longer rank them. Both hotels still sell high-end suites, and you should ask them directly for a current quote.
The pattern is worth noting for anyone budgeting a trip. Rates for the top suites are sales conversations, not menu prices, and a figure printed in a ranking can be years out of date by the time you read it.
What drives these prices
- Square footage and staff. Every suite on the list comes with a butler, and several add a private chef or security team.
- Scarcity. Each hotel has one of these suites, and the owner can hold it empty rather than discount.
- Publicity. A headline rate often exists to be reported. Few guests pay the headline figure on every date, and hotels adjust to demand.
- Package pricing. Minimum stays, such as the Palms’ two nights, push the real bill well above the nightly number.

How we put this list together
