Price: $1,125+
Location: New York City, NY
Why It’s Worth Every Penny: At the Plaza, you’re paying for a classic NYC experience (pro tip: stay there at Christmas, and you’ll feel like you’re in a movie). The Plaza is where iconic movies like Eloise at the Plaza and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York were filmed. Many of the suites are themed, the views are spectacular, and the experience one-of-a-kind. The Plaza’s convenient location is also worthy of the high price tag, as it’s close to a lot of New York hotspots.

Price: $4,000+
Location: Canyon Point, Utah
Why It’s Worth Every Penny: Don’t let that starting rate scare you! You’re not exactly paying for a rest stop here. For starters, the landscape and architecture of the resort is like something out of a sci-fi movie, minus the creepy parts. After all, the resort is in the middle of the desert, so if you’re looking for a luxurious escape from civilization, the Amangiri might be your way to go! Along with your suite, you get patio spaces, a gourmet restaurant, a spa, and personal pools. The Amangiri is also within driving distance of Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon! At Amangiri, you’re paying for the experience and location, not just a typical hotel room.

Como Laucala Island
Price: $5,600+
Location: Laucala, Fiji
Why It’s Worth Every Penny: This might be the kind of destination that pops in your head when you hear “luxury”. With rates starting at $5,600 per night, you’ll get your bang for your buck for sure.

Second, on Como Laucala Island, you get 5 different kinds of residences to choose from based on how many are in your party. All the residences include private beach access, ocean views, private pools, sundecks, and a personal “Tau” (“friend” in Fijian) who can help you arrange your daily activities on Como Laucala.

Kudadoo, Maldives
https://www.tiktok.com/?referer_url=bespokebookings.co%2Fthe-worlds-most-luxurious-hotels-that-are-worth-every-penny%2F&refer=embed&embed_source=121355059%2C121351166%2C121331973%2C120811592%2C120810756%3Bnull%3Bembed_discover_button
Price: $3,500+
Location: The Maldives Islands
Why It’s Worth Every Penny: On the other side of Australia lies the Maldives: a country of 1,192 islands that boast some of the best beaches and resorts in the world. Kudadoo, however, is a private island. Everything you’ll need during your stay there is right in your backyard- or, I guess in this case, back”sea”. Step out of your room into your personal little pool of the Indian Ocean, ask your own butler for snacks and drinks, and figure out whether you’re going to start your day at the spa or snorkeling. Other activities include boat excursions, fine dining, and a cheese and wine cellar! Rates start at around $3,500 a night, and because Kudadoo is a private island, everything is all-inclusive. Also, fun fact! Kudadoo is completely solar-powered, making it one of the only sustainable, environmentally-friendly five-star resorts in the world!
