Winged Boots says: “A one-of-a-kind experience and world-first, THE MUKARA is a two-level, three-bedroom residence that’s partially underwater.

Though the Palace Suite also comes with a two-bedroom option, the larger three-bed offers a presidential level of luxury and comfort. It in fact combines three of the Emirates Palace’s suites into one magnificently spacious abode with a palatial bathroom being ones of its crown jewels.

Winged Boots says: “Want to feel like royalty? Check-in to Kempinski’s Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi where gold upon gold seems to be the premise of the décor. The three-bedroom Palace Suite offers a restful stay that’s certainly fit for a king or queen… and a few princesses and princes for that matter.”

The Nobu Villa, Nobu Las Vegas (Caesars Palace), Nevada

Forbes magazine referred to The Nobu Villa as one of Caesars Palace’s secrets, reporting how it’s scented with lemon and ginger and requires a private elevator to reach its glamorous heights, designed by David Rockwell. It’s “the epitome of opulence”, in their words.

Winged Boots says: “Located in its own tower in the world-famous Caesars Palace resort, Nobu Las Vegas offers a sanctuary from the non-stop attitude of ‘The Strip’ yet is only a stone’s throw from where the heart of the city beats. The Nobu Villa is where luxury living is epitomised. Comprising three exquisite bedrooms which are decked with all the mod cons you could possibly imagine, a private garden with whirlpool, a barbecue pit, and of course, jaw-dropping Las Vegas views, your every Vegas fantasy will be exceeded here. Oh, and let’s not forget those complimentary limousine airport transfers!”

Imperial Suites, Palazzo Versace, Dubai

Steeped in rich Italian design, this entire hotel mirrors the essence of the world-renowned fashion label, Versace. Luxury is evident from the parquet flooring to the silk furnishings, but the Imperial Suite’s top floor position and two-bedroom duplex setup cements it as being the crème de la crème in its rooms.

Winged Boots says: “Merging Donatella Versace’s signature prints in a palette of clashing hues – think pastel blues, pretty pinks and vibrant purples – the Imperial Suites at Palazzo Versace makes the city (where too much is never enough) look subdued. You won’t want for anything here, and if you do have any special requests, the team of dedicated butlers will see to it swiftly.”

Average price for a one-night stay: £16,000

With a to-die-for cantilevered pool that overlooks the Las Vegas strip, this marble-filled, two-storey, 9,000 square foot villa was designed by the world-renowned artist, Damien Hirst and award-winning firm, Bentel & Bentel. Both of its bedrooms have massage rooms and the suite even boasts a salt relaxation area.

Winged Boots says: “This suite has been custom-designed by Damien Hirst and every inch has been thought-out by the artist. Expect butterfly motifs, a wall of ‘diamonds’ and two bullsharks marinating in Formaldehyde. It may be the most expensive suite in the world, but it’s also one of the most exquisitely and quirkily designed.”

Average price for a minimum two-night stay: £152,000
