The most exotic luxury hotels in the world. Every one will
have a list of their own but, the ones listed here are a class apart.
Indulgent, Opulent, Elegant and catering to the whims and fancies of those who
enjoy and expect “Luxury beyond Luxury”
.
It is time to surrender to uncompromising indulgence, ultra
luxurious warm hospitality and the promise of memories that live on forever.
The list is in no particular order as each of these
properties is totally distinct from the others and has a character of its own.

and then more.
