In first place, yet again, is the Royal Penthouse Suite at the President Wilson Hotel in Geneva, which costs a whopping US$80,000 (294,000 AED) a night and comes complete with 12 bedrooms, bulletproof windows, panoramic views of Lake Geneva and the Swiss Alps, and a collection of rare books. The suite has already hosted celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Richard Branson, Rihanna, Bill Gates, Matt Damon and Michael Douglas. It goes without saying that the suite also comes with a personal chef, butler and security team.
