Our Favorite Hotel Suites Around the World

Overwater bungalows are du riguer in French Polynesia, but not many can boast that they have two stories and an ultra-secluded position at the edge of a long pontoon. This two-bedroom suite offers all that, plus a private pool, an outdoor Jacuzzi, a dedicated in-room spa area, two living rooms and three bathrooms. Décor is traditional Tahitian, with natural woods and tropical prints. Nothing beats a morning cannonball into the multi-blue toned water, just off your sprawling deck.

Normally, we aren't ones for an Asian-influenced feel anywhere west of the Pacific. But Amanyara's peaceful - and yes, zen - pavilion suites have the distinct power of making you feel as though you've left everything behind months ago as opposed to mere hours. And the hardest decision you've got to make is where your room is at its most tranquil. Of course, the view of nothing but tropical landscape can be considered the best from the king-size bed that's set in the middle of the glass-and-timber mini-villa suite.

While technically not a suite, these ultra-private cottage-like accommodations are so spacious and set in a way that they feel so remote, they needed to make the list. Old-school levered windows and overhead fans keep the oceanview rooms breezy and comfortable, as do the rattan furnishings. Large stone patios are shaded by lush tropical foliage to ensure the ultimate privacy and feature chaise loungers that look out onto the sea. For more info, visit rosewoodhotels.com/en/caneelbay.

After just two nights at this 55-villa property on a private island in Thailand's Phang Nga Bay, every guest walks around with a glow that best resembles a blend of being in love and having had the best spa experience of your life. Of course, staying in the romantic indoor/outdoor rustic yet absolutely luxe rooms help (as does the fact that the resort has its own time zone - hideaway time). The ocean view villas are just a step up from the sandalwood-scented property's standard room, offering private plunge pools surrounded by large outdoor lounging areas that are perfect for private Thai BBQs all with jaw-dropping views.

High above the Amazonian tree tops (90 feet, to be exact) and accessible only via a canopy walk sits this thatched-roofed cabin. The room itself is basic, with limited water and electricity - but that's all part of the romance. In the evening, when the hurricane lamps are lit and your butler serves you a pisco sour, you can listen to the sounds of the Peruvian jungle as it settles into its night routine. A guided evening excursion across the hotel's canopy walks is part of the stay. For more info, visit inkaterra.com.

Perched high above the Eternal City and the dome of the Vatican sits a storied hotel that has been attracting the Jet Set since the '60s, thanks to frescoed public spaces, wandering gardens, an ultra pampering spa and La Pergola, the hotel's famed 3 Michelin star restaurant, which all offer spectacular views of Rome. Even more special are the hotel's concierge level suites, with deep soaking tubs and full-size Bulgari bath amenities, enormous beds that look out to the city and comfortable seating areas. The best part, however, are the rooms' wide, private balconies, which are the perfect setting for a morning coffee, an afternoon espresso and a prosecco toast at night.

This room is synonymous with romance. The feeling drips from the classic décor; it gets sexier with the suite's private Turkish bath and it breathes it sensation with unbeatable City of Light views from the 8th floor terrace. And there's an added dash of romance bonus for cinephiles: If this gilded room with unbeatable city views looks familiar, it's because it served as the setting for Woody Allen's Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris.

At an oceanfront hotel where every accommodation is built into a hill and so uniquely its own, it's difficult to pick a favorite suite. But villa arboles, with its enormous terrace-cum outdoor living room, dining area and kitchen, wins our heart for all of the above, plus a private plunge pool and master bath with a Jacuzzi. The second bathroom, just off the main living area, is quite a sight, with a tree shading the outdoor shower. For more info, visit hotelvillaamorsayulita.com.

While many resorts offer personalized butler service, One & Only Palmilla's program is the way service was meant to be. Butlers here appear just when you were about to look for them, remember that if you prefer almond milk to skim and sense when you're in need of afternoon snacks. Enjoying those complimentary goodies with a sip of smooth tequila on the suite's oversize beach-facing balcony is exactly what vacation is all about. Inside, you can enjoy the view and lull of the restless Sea of Cortez from bed, the deep soaking tub and open shower. For more info, visit palmilla.oneandonlyresorts.com.

Think of a traditional New England seaside town, and you've arrived at Chatham, a tony enclave that's home to clapboard homes, a quaint downtown, a historic beachfront lighthouse and a busy, working fish pier complete with visiting seals! And just on the other side of the scenic golf course from it all is Chatham Bars Inn, a storied hotel with a wide porch, golden sand beach and numerous restaurants. While the cottages are delightful, we prefer the newer spa suites, which are set away from the main building. Stay here and you'll have access to the spa's private Zen pool and relaxation area at all hours - although you may not need it, since your spacious room comes equipped with a sauna, waterfall Jacuzzi and steam room.

Set deep in the heart of the Colorado Rockies on a seemingly endless green meadow, you'll find a restored ghost town that now serves as a cell-phone-free escape right here in the United States. A collection of old mining outposts, the rooms here are all hand-made cabins scattered across the jaw-dropping natural landscape. While all are rustically luxurious, with individually appointed accents and quaint porches, none is as romantic as the well house, which is the only cabin to be built around a hot spring. In addition to the natural hot pool, the one-bedroom hideaway features a fire place, as well as a cold plunge pool. For more info, visit duntonhotsprings.com.

Las Vegas, that desert oasis of adult entertainment, has moved beyond the "what happens here…" mentality with the introduction of restaurants by stellar chefs, A-List performers setting up residence and the introduction of non-gaming hotels, among other recent city additions.

Rooms are spacious and somehow airy with private bar areas, a separate sitting room and an enormous soaking tub that may invite some "only in Vegas" antics.

There are few hotels in the world that successfully blend historic elements with ultra-modern amenities. The regal Paclacio Duhau, Park Hyatt Buenos Aires does it so artfully that you'd think the often avant-garde pieces were part of the original marble-walled, crystal coated, circa 1930s private palace. The enormous boudoir suite showcases the best of the hotel with sleek bathrooms, sumptuous furnishings, two separate sitting areas and iron terraces that open onto the gardens.

This nine-villa tented camp on the banks of Botswana's Okavango Delta is so peacefully remote, it's only accessible by boat. It's also blissfully unplugged (there is electricity, but Internet access is limited to the main pavilion area). Hosting no more than 18 guests at a time, the intimate property offers private plunge pools, four-poster beds, indoor and outdoor showers and ultra-plush couches from which you may be able to spot loads of indigenous birds in flight and hippos lumbering around the tall grasses. The large, elevated deck is a safe vantage point to spy elephants, antelope, zebras and giraffe in the distance. For more info, visit andbeyondafrica.com.
