What To Expect From Luxury Hotel Suites

Photo credit: hoteldevigny.com


Glamorous, plush, and elegant are just a few words to describe a typical luxury hotel suite. People from all walks of life daydream about what it's like to stay in such a plush setting. Anyone with an imagination can grasp those concepts, but is there more to it?

Turns out that there is much more to luxury than just a few highly-descriptive words. When done right, luxury becomes a living and breathing thing; something that doesn't just surround a person, but actually encompasses them. Luxury has a personality, gives comfort, soothes, and entices. It is often replicated in a half-hearted attempt to please the masses, but those few who have been fortunate enough to experience it can attest that there is just no substitute for a genuine luxury suite.

There are others who don't understand what all the fuss is about. Some people are truly satisfied with a twin bed covered with stiff sheets and a decades-old comforter, watercolor artwork, and lukewarm bath water when they need a place to lay their head for the night. One could guess that all it would take is one tiny taste of a luxurious room to change their mind about that.

So what can a guest expect from a luxury hotel suite? The most noticeable perk is likely to be the view. Whether it is a beach-front horizon, an impressive downtown skyline, or a majestic mountainside, the view from a luxury suite is usually nothing short of breathtaking. These are the kind of views that can move a person to tears and have them giving thanks for being alive.

Adding to the breathtaking imagery the view provides, most hotel suites are decked out with posh furniture and decor that are designed to comfort and welcome anyone who steps inside. Hand-crafted furniture that is often antique and almost always expensive, plush carpeting, elaborate flower arrangements, and original artwork fill the room with an air of classiness that simply can't be replicated.

In addition to all of the lovely pieces that fill a luxury suite, there are endless amenities. Not just tiny bottles of shampoo and bars of soap, but amenities like towels and robes with a price tag in the thousands, full-sized bottles of fine soaps and lotions, and a wet bar that can put many small-town pubs to shame. There are usually spa services available at any hour of the day along with a full kitchen staff available to bring an endless array of delicacies right to the door.

To wrap up this delectable package is a staff of highly-professional and extensively-trained individuals who live to wait on their guests hand and foot. Their only goal is to provide exceptional service and ensure every whim their guest may have is catered to. Thanks to such talented staff, guests in a luxury suite have no choice but to feel entitled to the world's finest offerings.

Where can one find such a place? There are many establishments world-wide who offer such a fine experience. The stephen a. wynn slideshare account is a good example of where one can go to find luxury treatment. Whether one is seeking a peaceful country getaway, an exciting metropolitan adventure, or a beach-front suite in paradise, there is no doubt that the perfect luxury suite of their dream awaits!

Sky Bridge Hotel in Abu Dhabi

This is really amazing. What you're about to see is nothing we have seen so far in great infrastructure developments happening in this part of the world - Middle East, specifically in Abu Dhabi which is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai has been hogging the limelight for a while with its so many firsts like The Palm Village, The World, The Burj al Arab, The Burj Dubai and the now becoming famous Atlantis.

Well, with this new project of Abu Dhabi, Dubai will have to take a back seat for a while. See the pictures below and you're looking at the future of mega-infrastructure. I see it like a big blimp!


This hotel will be built between the Abu Dhabi corniche and Lulu Island. It will have 264 rooms and 40 suites with roof garden, restaurants and commercial areas just like any other hotels.

The Palm and it's vicinity

I promised my blog pal - Heidi - that I'd post more pics on the surrounding areas of the great Palm Village at Jumeirah.

Here they are. Hope everyone likes the shots. They are amateur photos because I have no photography background. I just snap, snap and snap away! (some photos were taken by my sis-in-law. Thanks sis for letting me use your pics!)




On my previous post, I mentioned something about rows and rows of similar looking building. Here's another one! (see top photo)


The hut at the backyard. Beyond this point is the spectacular beach with a breath-taking view of the Burj Al Arab (the only 7* hotel in the world). I was "feeling" the luxurious texture of the curtain of the hut in the picture above. I just want to wrap myself with it!!! Wonderful =)





Rows of beautiful houses. This street has identical looking houses on one side and different models on the other side.



The tallest building in the world - The Burj Dubai. The construction is in full swing and we hope to see this majestic structure finished by next year!
