The Biggest Hotels In The World

First World Hotel is currently the largest hotel in the world with 6,11.8 rooms in Malaysia. A mega-hotel, mega-mall, tropical rain forest and theme park all in one, the First World Hotel is the largest of a six-hotel resort. There are more than 80 shops, 90 restaurants, a Cineplex, casino and a 50-room Karaoke bar, not to mention two theme parks (one indoor, one outdoor), which offer fun in the form of skydiving simulators and a mammoth snow park. The hotel sits atop a mountain and is accessible by the world's fastest cable car, which moves about 20 feet per second. This brightly hued three-star mega hostelry has thousands of rooms and facilities to match, from meeting rooms and a business center to a cineplex and casino. And for all its Olympian size—there are (count 'em) 32 check-in counters—it’s just one section of the First World Plaza, which includes an indoor theme park and 500,000 square feet of shopping. The First World Hotel is truly a world of its own, not only because of its mammoth size, but also because of its global decor, such as the tropical rain forest at the entrance and the lobby that’s decorated in the style of a traditional Spanish courtyard. The hotel washes 40 tons of laundry a day.

MGM Grand Las Vegas

The MGM Grand Las Vegas is a luxury hotel casino located on the Las Vegas Strip, which opened as a Hollywood themed resort. The MGM Grand Las Vegas is the second largest hotel in the world and second largest hotel resort complex in the United States behind The Venetian.

Owned and operated by MGM Mirage, a publicly traded company, the 30-floor main building is 293 feet (89 m) high and features five outdoor pools, rivers, and waterfalls that cover 6.6 acres (2.7 hectare),[3] a 380,000 sq ft (35,000 m2) convention center, the MGM Grand Garden Arena, CBS Television City, and the Grand Spa. It also houses numerous shops and night clubs, 16 restaurants, and the largest casino in Clark County, which occupies 171,500 sq ft (15,930 m2).

The hotel rooms are located in several buildings including:

The main hotel building, with 5,044 rooms (4,293 rooms and 751 suites)

The three The Signature at MGM Grand towers each with 576 suites (designed by Bergman Walls Associates)

SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand with 51 lofts

The Mansion at MGM Grand with 29 villas

It is one of the three[citation needed] large hotels in Las Vegas that has a 13th floor.[citation needed]

Located on the Tropicana - Las Vegas Boulevard intersection, pedestrians are not allowed to cross at street level. Instead, the MGM Grand is linked by overhead pedestrian bridges to its neighboring casinos: to the south across Tropicana Avenue, the Tropicana, and to the west across the Strip, the New York-New York.

The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, New Zealand

CLARIDGE'S, the ultra-smart Mayfair hotel, is joining Christian Dior to create a dressing table service that, according to the hotel, arms you with the necessities for a glamorous night out.

The dressing table is set with four classic Christian Dior fragrances - Miss Dior, Diorella, Diorissimo and Dioressence - and a beauty kit of make-up essentials including a ruby red lipstick. (What other colour would you wear for a big night out?)

There's also a cream silk Claridge's dressing gown personalised with your initials, marabou mule slippers (high-heeled ones with feathers of which actresses in films of the 1940s were so fond) and a rose-pink cashmere eyemask.

You also get a book by British author Evelyn Waugh and a cocktail from The Fumoir, the hotel's bar.

The package is £300 ($611) but only available if you are staying in the Linley and Claridge's suites. You don't get much change out of $1000 a night when you book into either one.

Amanyara Hotel

Set in the scrubby landscape of Providenciales's Northwest Point Marine National Park, Amanyara balances drama and calm. Soaring main pavilions of Indonesian woods cluster around a reflecting pool, and gazebos flank an infinity pool. The 40 ocean- and pond-facing guest pavilions feel utterly private despite three windowed walls that slide open onto terraces with daybeds and a sunken dining area. The open bathroom has pizza-box-size sinks and a deep tub that fills up lickety-split. The service throughout is smiling and flawless, and extras include a screening room as well as a complimentary minibar, phone calls, and Wi-Fi.

Discovery at Marigot Bay Hotel

Perched on a hillside fronting lovely Marigot Bay, this 124-room resort is a haven of low-key elegance. A long footpath lined with frangipani and ginger lilies leads to a dimly lit reception area. Guest rooms with wooden plantation shutters and wide verandas are given modern touches such as Brazilian hardwood flooring, Wi-Fi, and pillowtop beds. Slate-tiled bathrooms are a room highlight, with their pizza-size showerheads and generous portions of Kiehl's toiletries. Some staff are noticeably greener than others, though as a whole the service is friendly. There's only one full on-site restaurant, The Boudreau, but a quick ride across the bay on the hotel's solar-powered ferry can whisk you to other lively eateries.

Hoxton Hotel

To say there are few places in London where you can tuck yourself between Frette linens under a duck-down duvet for less than $200 is putting it mildly. Add free Wi-Fi, ten-cents-a-minute calls to the United States, and a free breakfast bag and you'll understand the popularity of this 205-room hotel in gritty, trendy Hoxton. Guest quarters are good-looking too, with striped carpeting, a kidney-shaped suede couch, and recessed lighting. In-room touches include a pop-up neighborhood map and milk for making cuppas with a kettle. Downstairs, there's a shop that sells wine and snacks, and the Hoxton Grille serves up tasty comfort food.

High Road House

Nick Jones, founder of the Soho House, is known both for his empire of London brasseries and his private clubs. His latest venture is in the West London enclave of Chiswick, where chic shops and restaurants are replacing the humdrum storefronts. Chiswick is also home to many television and music companies, so it's no surprise that High Road House has quickly become the gathering spot for media types and their entourages. Upstairs, the 14 guest rooms—with their whitewashed walls, plump Frette bedding, and old-fashioned sinks and toilets—suggest a stylish artist's garret. The friendly staff and the excellent brasserie (run by a River Café protégé) are added bonuses, as is the access to the club's private dining room, "playroom" (with pool table and plasma TVs), and quiet meeting areas. The one drawback: It is a bit of a hike from Chiswick to central London.

Front Hotel

The first thing you notice is the Guest Wall, a floor-to-ceiling blackboard on which previous visitors have scribbled messages in colored chalk. It's a sign that while Front may have the same owners as the Hotel D'Angleterre, the city's grande dame property, it's more lighthearted, mixing traditional with trendy. In the lobby bar you can browse books by authors ranging from A. A. Milne to Bret Easton Ellis while lounging on a hot-pink sofa under a portrait of Queen Margrethe. The compact guest rooms are designed in a palette of granite and slate with black leather chairs, while bathrooms have rustic cobbled floors. The menu in the dining room even takes a classic like fish-and-chips and updates it by using tuna. Guests can enjoy welcome touches like free Wi-Fi and complimentary beer in the minibar, then grumble about the old-fashioned problem of poor soundproofing.

DO & CO Hotel

More than 15 years after designing HaasHaus, which sits like a postmodern exclamation point amid the imperial glory of Vienna's Stephansplatz, Pritzker Prize–winning local architect Hans Hollein has returned to freshen sections of the interior. He is a master of reflected light, and a standard double at this new 43-room hotel features no fewer than 12 light sources that play off the teak floor and millwork, suede wall tiles, and retro-inspired furniture, and is especially atmospheric at night. The main attraction here, however, is the food. Do & Co is Austria's most famous caterer, and the popular top-floor restaurant attracts Vienna's see-and-be-seen crowd with its menu of traditional dishes, such as Tafelspitz (boiled beef), alongside sushi and sole meunière. Staff seem every bit as hip as the clientele, but the service isn't quite as polished as the design.

Hotel Yasmin

In a city of Gothic spires and Baroque curlicues, the Yasmin is a retro-futuristic option. While there are no fluffy robes or fancy vanities, the 198 rooms have pleasing touches such as a sage-and-sand color scheme, funky light fixtures, and jasmine-leaf motifs, and the restaurant Noodles' furry orange sculptures and silver globes create a Seuss-like atmosphere. Despite its low price, the Yasmin feels like it could cost twice as much, with a great location near Wenceslas Square and excellent service. One exception is the extortionate $35 charge for high-speed Internet access.

Qasr al Sharq Hotel

Designed by the firm behind Dubai's Burj Al Arab and managed by the new Waldorf-Astoria Collection hotel chain, the all-suite Qasr Al Sharq feels like a sumptuous private residence. With scalloped archways, carved arabesques, and layers of brocade, it caters mainly to protocol-obsessed Arab royals and CEO types. Some of the 46 suites exceed 10,000 square feet; amenities include butlers, private gyms, massage tables, 16-seat dinner tables, flat-screen TVs wrapped in 24-karat gold leaf, and Swarovski crystal chandeliers dangling from the gold ceiling. Female travelers will want to stay here for the penthouse pleasures of the kingdom's first women-only hotel spa; scheduled to open this summer, this abaya-free zone will have an Aquamedic lap pool under a retractable glass roof. (Men can use the next-door Jeddah Hilton's no-women-allowed health club.) At Mataam Al Sharq, the excellent Middle Eastern restaurant, try the tiny roasted fig-birds (a type of oriole), eaten heads and all, with pomegranate sauce.

Labriz Hotel

At this 112-room property on Silhouette Island, a 15-minute helicopter ride from Mahé, the focus is less on interior design than on ecology, even though the standard garden villas are pleasing to the eye, with high ceilings, natural-fiber furnishings, and a palm-fringed outdoor shower. An on-site eco-center organizes treks into the dense forest, and while beach access is less manicured (you'll climb over fallen palms and twisted vines), this gives it a far more natural appeal. Even the Aquum Spa integrates boulders into six treatment pavilions hidden amid coconut palms. For snorkeling, a five-minute boat ride brings plenty of colorful schools into view. Grann Kaz, the 200-year-old planter's house turned creole restaurant set to open in May, has a wraparound terrace and an upstairs filled with plantation memorabilia.

Kampala Serena Hotel

The Kampala Serena is so like a tropical resort, you'll wonder where to find the beach. You won't, because Uganda's capital is far from the coast, its draw being East Africa's gorilla-trekking circuit, for which it is usually the starting point. Themed restaurants, decorated with mosaics by African artist Yoni Waite, a free-form pool with palm trees and a waterfall, and an array of bars and restaurants mean guests never have to leave the hotel grounds. At the jungle-themed Mist—the cooler of the hotel's two lounges—Kampala's movers and shakers rub elbows, while upstairs piano music emanates from the Art Deco–esque restaurant, Pearl of Africa. Hallway displays are like a pan-African art gallery, while comfy modern accommodations have the opulent, cluttered feel of an African government minister's gift room, packed with baskets, ceramics, and heavy wood furnishings. The Maisha Spa is included among the 2007 Hot List Spas.

Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles Los Angeles, United States

Atkins international hotel

Atkins has won an international competition to design a resort hotel which is going to be built in a 100 meter deep quarry in the Songjiang district near to Shanghai in China.

Although from these pictures the hotel looks almost unreal, the project is expected to be completed by May, 2009.

The quarry will protect the resort from the weather and reduce the energy needs of the hotel. The complex will contain restaurants, cafes, sport facilities, and will even include underwater public areas and guestrooms.

The hotel will have 400 bed resort which will stand two levels higher than the rock face of the 100 metre deep quarry.

Two underwater levels will house a restaurant and guestrooms facing a ten-metre deep aquarium. The lowest level of the hotel will contain a leisure complex with a swimming pool and water-based sports.

An extreme sports centre for activities such as rock climbing and bungee jumping will be cantilevered over the quarry and accessed by special lifts from the water level of the hotel.

Martin Jochman, the chief in design team, says “We drew our inspiration from the quarry setting itself, adopting the image of a green hill cascading down the natural rock face as a series of terraced landscaped hanging gardens. In the centre, we have created a transparentglass ‘waterfall’ from a central vertical circulation atrium connectingthe quarry base with the ground level. This replicates the natural waterfalls on the existing quarry face.”

Insider Tips To Gain For Maximum Value at Luxury Hotels

1. Sign Up For the Hotel’s Newsletter: Some hotels don’t advertise their best offers, but share them with valued customers through an e-mail newsletter. If you’ve had your eye on a special hotel, or aren’t yet receiving newsletters from your hotel favorites, take a minute to check out their website and see if one is offered. For example, InterContinental Montelucia has a weekly newsletter that they send out to all of their email subscribers, where you will find special offers only available to newsletter subscribers.

2. Ask About Paying in Full Up Front: Sometimes luxury hotels will offer a discounted rate to customers who agree to pay for their entire stay up front (usually booking in advance.) As long as your travel plans are set and you don’t anticipate changing them, take advantage of this opportunity to maximize the value of your vacation.

3. Mention Referrals: When booking a reservation, if you’ve been referred by a friend, or found the hotel of your dreams on www.luxurytravelmagazine.com, mention to the concierge how you heard about the hotel. This may earn you an unexpected upgrade when you check in.

4. Show Your Interest: Hotel staff and the restaurant chef want to share their passions of hospitality and cuisine with guests. Friendly guests who show their interest in wine and cuisine to the staff may just be pleasantly surprised over the course of their stay. For example, if you’ve been chatting with the host or waiter about love of a certain dish or local ingredient, it will be easy for them to design an individually tailored meal to share with you a love of cuisine. The sommelier is another good friend to have.

The Berkeley London, United Kingdom

The Berkeley formerly stood at the corner of Piccadilly and Berkeley Street on the edge of Mayfair at the turn of the 19th century, bearing the name of the street on which it stood. With good proximity to Mayfair the hotel became a popular venue for debutantes.

The Restaurant in particular was one of the few places where parents would allow their daughters to go unchaperoned, as they reasoned that the staff would keep an eye on them and their escorts.

The Berkeley was purchased by the founder of The Savoy, Richard D’Oyly Carte. Carte had fired the most famous hotel manager, César Ritz, and chef, Auguste Escoffier, despite the threat of bad publicity, because he had caught them both cheating him financially.

D’Oyly Carte approached The Berkeley’s Managing Director and offered him the opportunity to run The Savoy as well but he was turned down. Never one to give up he began negotiations to purchase the hotel. On 1 January 1901 The Berkeley became part of the Savoy Group. Managing Director, George Reeves-Smith, now found himself in charge of two properties.
