With the opening of the "Espacio Nagoya" in Japan, a new luxury hotel is shaking up the price scale: a night here costs up to 21,500 euros. But there are even more exclusive addresses available. Falstaff TRAVEL presents some of the most expensive suites in the world.
In Japan's third largest metropolis, Nagoya, an extraordinary refuge of superlatives opened in October. Not only the design and service are luxuriant, but also the price per night. But it is not only in Japan that luxury knows no bounds - Falstaff TRAVEL presents some of the most exclusive and expensive suites in the world.
The new luxury hotel is located in the immediate vicinity of the famous "Nagoya Castle" and combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary architecture. A night in the most exclusive suite costs up to around 21,500 euros - a price that is exceptional even in Japan's high-priced hotel market.
The eleven-storey building, inspired by the architecture of classic Japanese castles, is primarily aimed at international guests with an interest in design and cultural history. The 100 rooms take up motifs from the samurai era and interpret them with modern materials and clear forms.
The Jumeirah Burj Al Arab is the emirate's architectural landmark. The iconic sail-shaped façade conceals elegant suites, top restaurants, an award-winning spa and the "Sal Beach Club" overlooking the Persian Gulf. As part of the "Jumeirah Icons" collection, the hotel stands for exceptional design and the highest service culture. The presidential duplex suite measures 667 square meters and costs just under 30,000 euros per night.
Particularly outstanding in the "City of Love" is the "Cheval Blanc Paris", which is housed in the Art Deco department store "La Samaritaine", opened in 1870. The hotel has 72 rooms in the historic part of the building on the Quai du Louvre and is the only hotel located directly on the Seine, with a view of sights such as Notre Dame, the Conciergerie or the Pont Neuf.
The Quintessence Suite extends over 650 square meters and has a private swimming pool, with prices starting at just under 50,000 euros per night. A spa, multilingual staff and a comprehensive concierge service are included in the price.
The luxury hotels in Tokyo are in a category of their own; here, spacious, high-priced suites meet imposing high-rise architecture.
The "Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo" brings the contemporary style of the Italian jewelry house to the Japanese capital. The hotel occupies the 40th to 45th floors of the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu skyscraper and is in a very central location.
A stay at the "Bvlgari Hotel" starts at around 2,000 US dollars per night, while the Signature Suite with 400 square meters, gold-decorated lights and spectacular city views costs around 30,000 US dollars per night.
In Hong Kong, large, exclusive luxury hotels dominate the top end of the market.
