The Bridge Suite at the Atlantis (Nassau, Bahamas)
When I was about twelve years old, my grandparents treated my family and I to a week-long trip to the famed Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. During the weeks leading up to the adventure, I distinctly remember devouring all of the information I could on the resort. I was so excited that I had serious trouble thinking about anything other than the impending vacation. When I finally got there, I was certainly not disappointed, as I was simply astounded by its grandiosity. There were colorful aquarium containing exotic sea-life, vertical water-slides shooting through shark filled tanks, and lazy rivers filled with sun-soaked vacationers. But there was one spectacle that trumped them all: the Bridge Suite. This majestic space is easily visible because it is a bridge. No, not a real bridge with cars and trucks. A bridge that connects two hotel buildings. As a result, you have a complete view of the resort and the beach on one side, and of the marina on the other. The ten room suite comes with its own butler, bar, lounge and entertainment center, and has twelve foot ceilings. It is also decorated with lots of gold and marble. Price tag: twenty five thousand a night.
Royal Penthouse Suite, President Wilson Hotel (Geneva, Switzerland)
Remember back when 50 Cent wore a bulletproof vest and rode around in a bulletproof SUV? Well if he were really serious about dodging bullets, he should have spent a lot more time in the Royal Penthouse Suite. That’s because it houses a plethora of bulletproof windows and doors. Plus, 50 Cent is one of the few people on this planet that can actually afford shelling out sixty five grand for a night in this place. Yep, you heard right. Sixty…five…thousand. For one night. What else are you spending your money on, besides the luxury of protecting yourself from a barrage of bullets? The four bedroom suite occupies the entire top floor of the hotel and can host a party of about forty people. It includes four elegant bedrooms and six huge bathrooms. And there are also some gorgeous views of the city and Lake Geneva. If I were paying sixty five grand for a night in hotel room, I would pop some adderall, and attempt to stay up all night. For every hour you spend snoozing away, you are wasting about twenty seven hundred dollars.
The Royal Villa at Grand Resort Lagonissi (Athens, Greece)
If you have ever been to Athens, Greece on a sweltering summers day, you will most likely have one thing and one thing only on your mind: get me the hell out of this congested, polluted city and onto some nearby Greek island. However, unbenounced to the typical tourist, there are plenty of havens available that don’t require hopping on a ferry or onto a small plane. One of those places of refuge is the Grand Resort Lagonissi. But, if you want to take your escape to the highest possible level, you don’t just stay at the Grand Resort Lagonissi; you stay at the Royal Villa at the Grand Resort Lagonissi. The three-bedroom villa has an indoor pool, an outdoor heated pool, a private deck overlooking the blue Aegean, a gym, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large living and dining room. On top of all this, you will receive your very own butler, chef, and personal trainer. Warning: This is only for the true ballers who are the kind to wipe their ass with a couple of Benjamins on a regular basis. Price tag: fifty grand a night.
Hugh Hefner Sky Villa (Las Vegas, Nevada)
When I think of Playboy, certain things come to my mind. Beautiful women and indulgence are the two main ones. When you spend a night in the Hugh Hefner Villa, you are guaranteed to get the latter. The beautiful women are up to you to find. This majestic suite contains a seven hundred thousand dollar cantilevered jacuzzi that overlooks the Vegas strip. Imagine soaking yourself in hot, bubbly water with a sparkily glass of fine champagne in your hand as you glance over the glimmering lights of Sin City. Now that’s true ballerism right there. The nine thousand square foot, double decker pad also offers an indoor waterfall, a round rotating bed with ceiling mirrors, plasma TV’s, a massage room, sauna, exercise room, and media room. If you think being forty thousand dollars poorer is worth a chance to feel like Hef, then by all means, be my guest.
African Saphire Villa at Altamer (Anguilla)
If you are looking to spend some down time on a remote Caribbean island, why not head to Anguilla? If you have never heard of this tropical island, it is a jewel that sits east of Puerto Rico and directly north of St. Martin. No matter where you stay on this island, you will undoubtedly experience beauty and bliss. But how about guaranteed privacy and true indulgence? One way to do that is to stay at the African Saphire Villa, which comes staffed with a a butler, maids, and a private chef. It also has its very own snorkeling lagoon. And it is slightly more attainable, considering that fact that it is intended to be occupied by a number of guests who might consider allocating the eleven thou per night.
