The Most Expensive Hotels in the World, Ranked by Published Suite Rates

The most expensive hotel room in the world with a published rate is the Penthouse at The Mark in New York. Guinness World Records lists it from $114,767 a night including taxes, as of 22 April 2025. The next highest figure that comes from a hotel itself is $100,000 a night for the Royal Mansion at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, quoted by the resort’s managing director in January 2023.

Every price below has a source and a date. As of October 2026, none of these hotels shows its top suite’s nightly rate on its own website; all of them take bookings for these suites on request. Rates move with dates and season, so treat each figure as a reported price on that date, not a quote.

For the suites themselves, room by room, see the most expensive hotel suites in the world.

How this list is ranked

• Group 1: the hotel published the rate, a named hotel representative gave it, or it was recorded on the hotel’s official booking engine, in 2023 or later.
• Group 2: the rate was reported by a dated third-party outlet since 2023 without attribution to the hotel.
• Group 3: the latest dated figure we found is from before 2023.
• Within each group, hotels are ordered by the highest dated figure. Non-dollar rates are converted at the European Central Bank reference rates of 8 October 2026 (€1 = $1.1186, £1 = $1.3207, CHF 1 = $1.1994, ₹100 = $1.033) and rounded.
• Undated figures (for example suite directories with no publication date) are not used for ranking.
• Whole-island buyouts are not included: they are a hire of the entire property, not a hotel room.
• Two hotels from our 2022 list are closed for renovation in October 2026 and are listed separately at the end.

Questions

What is the most expensive hotel in the world?

By published rate, The Mark in New York: its Penthouse is listed by Guinness World Records from $114,767 a night including taxes, as of 22 April 2025. Atlantis The Royal in Dubai has the highest rate given by a hotel representative, $100,000 a night for the Royal Mansion (January 2023).

Is the Empathy Suite still $100,000 a night?

That figure dates from the suite’s 2019 launch. The Palms has had a new owner since December 2021, and the suite is booked by phone or email with no published rate. Luxury London repeated $100,000 in December 2025.

Why do other lists give different prices?

Most lists give “estimated” figures with no source or date. Hotels rarely publish top-suite rates; they quote on request, by date and length of stay. Several widely repeated figures are years old, such as $50,000 for The Muraka (2018) and $50,000 for the Ty Warner Penthouse (2016).
