7. The Muraka at The Conrad

6. The Penthouse Suite at Hôtel Martinez
Location: Cannes, France
Cost per night: $53,000
On the seventh floor of Cannes’ Hyatt-owned Hôtel Martinez, in France’s Côte d’Azur, you’ll find the Penthouse Suites, approximately 1,000 square feet of space all to yourself. This hotel was first opened in the 1920s, and apparently boasted the well-to-do and the well known. These two suites were recently redecorated to honor famous French actress Isabelle Huppert, and Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate of the Cannes Film Festival. You can alternate between watching French cinema or taking in the 180-degree view that looks out over the stunning bay of Cannes.According to Wealthy Gorilla, this suite comes with king beds in four bedrooms, a living and dining area, master bathrooms with Turkish baths and a private jacuzzi on your balcony.

5. The Ty Warner Penthouse at The Four Seasons
Location: New York City, New York
Cost per night: $60,000
New York City has more than one super pricey place to hang your hat for the right price. The Four Seasons’ Ty Warner Penthouse is an artistic collaboration between I.M. Pei, Peter Marino and the hotel owner Ty Warner. The website boasts that the suite has been recognized as “a visual tour de force of volumetric flourishes and crafted surfaces” by Architectural Digest magazine. It also points out such details as its soaring, 360-degree views of Uptown, Downtown and Midtown, from up high at 52 storeys, and “cantilevered, glass balconies.”While you get 4,300 square feet to yourself, which is frankly bigger than some people’s entire homes, you only get one king bed, and one oversized master bathroom. Seems like they could have splurged for more. Other amenities include: private elevator access, a Peloton bicycle, a Bösendorfer baby grand piano, impeccably selected art, a private spa, and a chauffeured Rolls-Royce. Wealthy Gorilla estimates the price per night to be $60,000 per night.
4. The Mark Penthouse at The Mark Hotel
Location: New York City, New York
Cost per night: $75,000

Now, the 10,000 square foot penthouse is full of gorgeous accommodations that were good enough for Meghan Markle’s baby shower (hosted by tennis GOAT Serena Williams). For your chunk of change, you get access to five bedrooms (including two master suites) six bathrooms, four fireplaces, and two wet bars. You also have a formal dining room with seating for 24, a library lounge, a full-size kitchen, living room and a grand piano. Even better, there’s a 2,500-square-foot outdoor terrace with unforgettable views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline.
