Faena Hotel + Universe: Buenos Aires, Argentina

Known as the Paris of South America, Buenos Aires has long enchanted visitors with its European sophistication and Latin charm. The Faena Suite is by far the most sumptuous of all the rooms. As the most expensive suite in all of Latin America, it is a must for those seeking decadence and style. It boasts such amenities as 18-carat gold leaf swan chairs, Tuscan marble baths and a private sunset terrace.

Almyra: Paphos, Cyprus

The Kyma Suite is just a few steps away from the Mediterranean. Situated in a lush garden, the suite features two terraces: Private rooftop terrace- candle lit at night- that offers gorgeous views. A king-sized day bed, outfitted with luxurious bedding and positioned in the garden, adds an extra touch of extravagance. The glamorous tiled bathroom has a separate rainfall shower.

Devi Garh: Rajasthan, India

The hotel's Devi Garh suite is literally a treasure. The suite has a black marble swimming pool, sun deck and Jacuzzi. Huge windows overlook the Aravali hills and the courtyard with a modern fountain and swing. Special feature: the on-site astrologer.

Eden Rock: Caribbean, St. Barths

Perched above the hotel's Main House on the craggy rock, the Howard Hughes Suite features the best views of the Caribbean by virtue of its three spacious terraces that offer 360-degree views of the beaches, blue water and surrounding coral. With a sunken bath, handcrafted furniture, private pool and deck, and Jacuzzi, the suite is an attractive spot for any recluse.

Hotel on Rivington: New York, New York

The triplex Penthouse is more than just a haute suite that hosts one glam photo shoot after another. The jaw-dropping 360-degree views of the New York City skyline add the sizzle and pop. As the tallest building in the area, the Penthouse is a front-row ticket for one of the best views in the city. The rest of the rooms amenities include a two person Japanese soaking tub and the Jacuzzi that fits eight. There's also an outdoor shower on the rooftop for those guests who want to release their inner exhibitionist.

Ikies Hotel: Santorini, Greece

Perhaps the most unique feature of the Winemaker House is its master bedroom. Built into a cave that has been carved out of pumice rock, the bedroom is simple and elegant.

Semiramis: Athens, Greece

Located on the roof, two of the Penthouse's four walls are made entirely of glass- ideal for exhibitionists or anyone who, more sheepishly, just wants to soak in the steller sights of the entire region. Featuring furniture done up in bubblegum pink or bright lime green, the Star-burst inspired palette adds warmth to the otherwise sparse environment. The frosted glass bathroom gets a little glitz with the silver encrusted bathtub that resembles a disco ball.

Huski: Falls Creek, Australia

Inside the split-level Penthouse, stark white walls and clean surfaces dominate a comfortable floorplan of four bedrooms, four baths, a living area and an open kitchen. A spacious private balcony with hot tub overlooks the valley, mountains, and the town of Falls Creek. The penthouse sleeps up to ten people, making it the ideal get-away for a group ski trip. The deluxe amenities include in-floor slab heating, ski-in/ski out access and lift access from each floor.

Hotel Puerta America: Madrid, Spain

To say that Hotel Puerta America is a radical design statement would be an understatement. A different architect/interior designer created each floor and the public spaces. The first and eighth floors are the coolest. The first floor has no corners, creating a cavelike ambiance and is mostly white-on-white and black-on-black. The eighth floor beds are suspended from the floor to enhance the idea that guests are sleeping on a cloud. In the bathroom, the shower cascades from the ceiling.
