These Are Italy's Most Expensive Hotel Suites
Italy holds one of the most expansive selections of destinations and landscape in all of Europe: historic streets in Rome, winding canals in Venice, fashion hubs in Milan, and rocky coastlines in Sicily, to name a few. Any traveler knows the country has no shortage of swoon-worthy vacation options. And while each locale certainly has its own draw and hot spots, some things—like delicious food and stunning, old-world architecture—can be found across the country. Another common thread? Luxury accommodations. The country boasts an impressive collection of five-star hotels and uber-luxe hospitality options. With that, it’s not hard to wonder just what the most expensive hotel suites in Italy look like. Below, AD visits the five priciest rooms in the country.

Inspired by a “19th-century gentleman’s den,” the Redentore Terrazza Suite occupies the two top floors of a historic palazzo. Although the interiors are luxurious, the real standout of the room is the 2,690-square-foot private rooftop. Overlooking views of the Grand Canal and the Church of the Redentore, among other sights, the terrace is complete with a dining space, outdoor living room, and plunge pool. A night in the glamorous suite costs $15,288 and comes with two passes for Guggenheim museums that can be used in Venice, New York, Bilbao or Abu Dhabi.

The most lavish room in the hotel is a two bedroom sea view suite, which is outfitted with serene decor and framed by stunning ocean vistas. The rooms encompass 1,184 square feet and cost $18,130 per night at its priciest.

Located along the shore of the Mediterranean in Sardinia, the Harrods Suite at Hotel Cala di Volpe offers stunning views of Costa Smeralda. Designed by Harrods Interior Design, the suite features a material palette that honors the local landscape including whitewashed, hewn walls and terra-cotta accents. Additionally, furniture in the room is sourced from local artisans. The suite features a private wine cellar, an alfresco dining pergola, and a private roof terrace, though perhaps the most luxurious element is the raised infinity pool that appears to spill into the Italian coastline. As one of the most premier hotel suites in Italy, a night in the luxury accommodations costs $47,400 during peak season.
