Top 10 Luxury Hotels

Le Tahaa, Private Island & Spa
This private island 150 miles from Tahiti was once an object of rivalry between the kings of Bora Bora and Raiatea—and once you see it, you'll understand the bickering. Choose a beach villa with a private pool or an over-water bungalow.



Wynn Las Vegas
In Vegas, "Wynn" is synonymous with "extraordinary." And everything here—golf by Tom Fazio, dining by Daniel Boulud, entertainment by Franco Dragone, artwork by Monet and Picasso, fashion by Chanel and Dior—lives up to the Wynn name.




Atlantis–Paradise Island Royal Towers—Bahamas
H²O-happy? You'll love the 11 pool areas, the miles of white-sand beach, and the Mayan temple with five water slides. Landlocked fun includes an opulent casino and an 11,500-square-foot spa.



Mandarin Oriental San Francisco
West Coast meets Far East at this Asian-themed hotel, perched atop one of the city's tallest buildings. Little luxuries you'll love: free limousine service, silky Frette Italian linens, and in-room binoculars.



The Waldorf Towers—New York City
Herbert Hoover (and every president after him) slept in this Park Avenue oasis, and so should you. Why? The perfect location, personalized service (the guest historian takes notes for your next visit), and more



The Landmark London
This plush, palatial hotel occupies an entire block in the heart of stylish Marylebone, just 4 blocks from Regent's Park. Sip a cocktail under a palm tree in the expansive Winter Garden atrium, or take a dip in the 50-foot indoor pool.



Prince de Galles Hotel—Paris
This Art Deco landmark in the Triangle D'or puts you just steps away from the Champs-Elysées, the Eiffel Tower, and chic boutiques. The lobby's gold-leaf chandelier and marble floors hint at the opulence that awaits you upstairs.



Exedra, A Boscolo Luxury Hotel—Rome
When in the Eternal City, don't miss this eternally gorgeous hotel on the Piazza della Repubblica, next to the Dioclesian Baths. Slip into the rooftop pool and admire the ancient city beneath you.



Princeville Resort—Kauai, Hawaii
Each of the Princeville's rooms boasts a dazzling view of the Pacific Ocean, Hanalei Bay, or the Na Molokama mountains, plus luxuries like original artwork, oversized tubs, and a "magic" window for privacy.




The Ritz-Carlton, Cancún
When you hear the name Ritz-Carlton, you expect the best. Here in Cancún, that means ocean views from every room, two blue-tiled pools, a new spa, award-winning dining, and the area's finest beach.
