Of course, with 12 rooms and 12 bathrooms, a dining area which seats 26 people, a conference room, a fitness centre, a billiards room and library, a cocktail lounge area to accommodate 40 persons and its own private escalator, it's more like a house. Special features include bulletproof windows and doors and panoramic views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc. And for music lovers, there's also a Steinway grand piano. Four Seasons Hotel, New York Ty Warner Penthouse The opulent and luxurious penthouse on the 52nd floor soars 800 ft above street level and provides a 360-degree view of New York City. Created by architects I.M. Pei and Peter Marino, the suite took seven years and $50 million to make. From calf-skin leather walls in the dressing room and semi-precious stones in the Zen room to Han dynasty vases converted into table lamps, luxury defines the 4,300 sq. ft suite. On call is a butler, an art concierge, a personal trainer and exclusive use of a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce. Price: up to $40,000 a night. Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas  Two-storey Sky Villa The only thing the Hugh Hefner villa does not come with is a gaggle of Playboy bunnies. Otherwise this 9,000 sq. ft Playboy penthouse is everything you would expect — three bedrooms, dry sauna, a huge open terrace, a revolving bed and mirrored ceiling and a 12-person glass-enclosed jacuzzi pool bordered by a glass wall for a sky view of lit-up Las Vegas. Highlights also include a poker table for night parties, the Playboy art collection and enough space for 250 guests.  Price: up to $35,000 a night. Hotel Martinez, Cannes  Penthouse Suite This is the biggest and only terraced penthouse on the Cote d'Azur, making it exclusive and expensive. The design is in the Art Deco style, with streamlined furniture, silk curtains and teak parquet flooring. The hotel has a Michelin-starred restaurant, piano bar and huge private beach, all at your disposal. The two-bedroom suite has two bathrooms with hammam, shower, spa bath, dressing room and sauna, as well as a 2,000 sq. ft terrace with views of the Bay of Cannes and space for 100 guests. Price: up to $25,000 a night. (This story was published in Businessworld Issue Dated 30-07-2012)
