Every Monday you get to check into the luxurious White Lotus on M-Net channel 101. The White Lotus in Thailand offers gorgeous sea views, world-class villas, and exotic cuisine. Meanwhile, its guests give us a perfect serving of edge-of-your-seat drama and deliciously dirty scandals. The White Lotus may be fictional, but there are many luxury hotels in the world that offer a glamorous stay. Let's take a look at four of the most luxurious hotels in the world.
Burj Al Arab
This palace in the sky is located in Dubai, the city of gold and dreams. Famous for being one of the tallest hotels in the world, it boasts 60 floors. The hotel has suites fit for royalty. With mosaic detailing, 24-karat gold plating, and Versace bedspreads, it spells luxury in every sense. In terms of cuisine, you will be spoilt for choice: from the Sky Lounge bar to the five-star restaurants, you'll always have a magical experience to look forward to.
Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong
A hotel that offers an exotic getaway like no other. Cushioned in the heart of Hong Kong, the Mandarin Oriental is a haven of pleasure showcasing 447 lush rooms with epic views and facilities – though if you’re anything like season 3’s Saxon, you might have to check about blenders. The hotel's hidden gem is the Shanghainese-inspired holistic spa that offers its guests unique treatments. The restaurants within this majestic hotel offer a range of dishes, everything from Cantonese to French to Japanese – a winner for guests with adventurous palates.
Savoy Palace
The Savoy Hotel franchise has many luxury hotels across the globe, but the jewel in its crown is in Portugal. As the name suggests, it’s nothing short of a palace. This five-star getaway is a must on every luxury traveller’s list. It captures perfect paradise views, has majestic beaches, and one-of-a-kind facilities. Within the hotel itself, you have endless options when it comes to dining and pampering. This hotel is like finding a treasure chest and promises to be a winning destination.
The Plaza Hotel
New York's finest is a legendary landmark and holds a special place in New Yorkers' hearts. Nineties movie junkies first fell in love with the hotel when it was showcased in the movie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The hotel offers a “Home Alone” experience package, and even though it comes with a hefty price tag, the nostalgia it offers remains priceless. For shopping addicts, The Plaza Boutique is the perfect place to indulge in prestige shopping …. without being subjected to a spot of robbery like Chelsea in The White Lotus. You are spoilt with food galore upon arrival, and no stomach is left unsatisfied. As for the luxury suites, they offer a little piece of heaven within the city.
Fun fact: Did you know that The White Lotus season 3 was filmed at the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui in Thailand? This resort is also a world-class offering and is the epitome of paradise.
