Do you dream of staying in a hotel that looks like a palace and everything appears so magical? Do you like pampering yourself or simply want to indulge yourself in one luxury that you would never forget in your life? This list of Top 10 Most Luxurious Hotels in the World (2025 Edition) is going to suit you.

Personal butlers, floating breakfast and other amenities turn these hotels to a place where style is the new traveling. I have chosen the sites that are not only very comfortable in the world but that form memorable moments. Very well then, stow away your satchels (though perhaps this time just dreamily!), and we will make The Tour together.

1. Burj Al Arab – Dubai, UAE

Undoubtedly you have seen photographs of this sail-shaped hotel. However, photos do not justice. Burj Al Arab is a star hotel ranked among traditional hotels in the world. Everything here is screaming royalty, including a check-in on each floor, gold-plated interiors, etc.

• Airport transfer Rolls-Royce
• Dedicated (personal) butler
• Underwater restaurant: Al Mahara

Personal tip: I have read that even their pillow menu is varied by 17 types. Fancy, no?

2. The Ritz Paris – France

The Ritz is the place you dream to stay at when you like old-world charm, Paris and chandeliers. Set in Place Vendome, the hotel is where everyone has walked through its doors, Coco Chanel as well as Princess Diana.

Highlights:

• Traditional French decorations
• Michelin-star restaurants
• Personal garden suites

It is one of those joints where even breakfast appears to be a kingly meal.

In comparison to the rest of the bold luxury hotels, Aman Tokyo is serene, simple and quiet like the Japanese culture is. The rooms are a combination of five star hotel and zen resort here.

Highlights:

• The five classical experiences of tea ceremony

It is an ideal place to get tranquillity and solitude along with luxury.

6. Taj Lake Palace – Udaipur, India

A list like this would not be complete without a hotel in our beautiful India also. This white marble palace is built on a lake which makes it appear to be floating. I have not yet been there (although this is on my to-do list) but when you see it just by the city you start to believe in fairy tales.

Highlights:

• Sailing to the hotel (that is on the lake, lake Pichola, actually!)
• Indian 20+ dishes Royal Indian thali

It is the Bollywood movie to live in.

The luxurious Indian wedding and the upper echelon of guests is an all-time favourite.
