Suite Dreams

Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons New York

Some travelers are content with a room that’s clean and comfortable. But for others, a hotel suite isn’t just a place to stay—it’s the destination in itself.

These extraordinary spaces offer unparalleled privacy, indulgence, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. From rooftop infinity pools to private islands, here are some of the world’s most exceptional suites, along with tips on when to splurge and how to make sure you’re treated like the VIP you are.

Top Suite Picks Around the Globe

• The Grand Riad, Royal Mansour – Marrakech
  A masterpiece of Moroccan design, this palatial suite comes with its own private garden, rooftop terrace, and plunge pool. There are four bedrooms, as well as private hamman, and a full staff to accommodate your needs.

• Ty Warner Penthouse, Four Seasons – New York
  Sitting 800 feet above Manhattan, this 4,200 sq ft penthouse offers 360° views of the city skyline. The suite includes a cantilevered glass balcony, infinity-edge bathtub, and a team of dedicated staff to make the city feel like your own. It’s been recognized by Architectural Digest and was designed in collaboration with famous architects I.M. Pei and Peter Marino.

  Accessible only by private jetty, this overwater retreat offers complete seclusion. With its own stretch of beach, infinity pool, and personal chef, the villa feels like your own private island within the Maldives…because it is.

• Ritz-Carlton Suite – Tokyo
  High above the Tokyo skyline, this suite blends Japanese elegance with modern design. It’s the largest suite on the property (a favorite of mine from my trip to Japan last year) at 3,300 sq ft. Panoramic views from the 52nd floor showcase views of Mount Fuji on a clear day—paired with exceptional service that makes every guest feel like royalty.

When to Splurge on a Suite

There are occasions when it’s totally worth it to book a suite - it doesn’t have to be one of the over-the-top suites mentioned above to feel like a real luxury. 

• Milestone moments: Honeymoons, anniversaries, or milestone birthdays deserve a backdrop as unforgettable as the occasion.

• Multi-generational trips: Suites with multiple bedrooms and spacious living areas make family travel seamless.

• Privacy & exclusivity: If you value peace and discretion, suites often offer private entrances, dedicated staff, and quiet escapes.

• Bleisure travel: Combine business and indulgence—spacious suites provide work areas without sacrificing luxury.

• Unique experiences: Whether it’s a rooftop plunge pool or in-room spa, suites transform a trip into something truly personal.

VIP Perks Beyond the Price Tag

What really sets a suite stay apart are the extras that come with it:

• Dedicated butler service to handle everything from unpacking to last-minute reservations.

• Exclusive access to private lounges, hidden bars, or priority tables.

• In-suite dining by top chefs for those nights when you’d rather stay in luxury than venture out.

• Wellness at your doorstep, including in-room spa treatments, personal trainers, and yoga pavilions.

• Advisor advantages like daily breakfast, resort credits, and complimentary upgrades when you book through your Virtuoso travel advisor (that’s us!).

Insider Tips for Booking Smartly

• Work with a luxury travel advisor (that’s where I come in) for perks, upgrades, and VIP recognition.

• Consider shoulder seasons—luxury becomes more accessible without the crowds.

• Ask about “hidden suites” that aren’t even listed online but can be secured through insider connections.

• For families, connecting suites or residences often provide the best mix of value and space.
