MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL IN THE WORLD

If you’re looking for the ultimate baller vacation, we’d recommend looking into the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, where a week-long stay will set you back a whopping $1 million.

So what perks come included in a week long stay at the world’s most expensive hotel? For starters, the Palace Suite package includes first-class airline tickets, a chauffeur-driven Maybach for the week, a personal butler, and daily spa treatments. For those looking to leave the hotel grounds, Emirates Palace Director of Sales and Marketing, Janet Abrahams, notes that the package can be tailored to “include day trips by private jet to Iran to create your own hand-made Persian carpet from the most exclusive and well-renowned maker, to Dead Sea in Jordan to experience the famous sea and the afternoon Anantara Spa treatment in the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar, to Bahrain for a deep sea pearl diving experience. Your pearl will then be set in unique hand-designed jewelery. And, throughout your excursions, your Emirates Palace butler will be there to guide and assist you.” Golf, deep sea fishing, perfume making, and various desert and island tours are also available as activity options.

Luxury gifts included with the package include Emirates Palace gold champagne, the rarest pearls in the world from Robert Wang, and a selection from Holland Sporting Guns. For $1 million we’d expect you to get the entire hotel. Unfortunately, you’re suite will is limited to only about 7,300 square feet. Still, the bragging rights alone would be pretty baller.
