Top 10 Coolest Hotels in the World

The Top Ten
Burj Al Arab, Dubai

It is easily the best, and it always will be. It is such an enormous and beautiful structure to see, and that photo doesn't do it justice.

It has a helipad, an underwater restaurant, its own artificial island connected to main Dubai through a long romantic walkway, and a restaurant super high, hanging over the water. The suites are the best in the world.

It makes complete sense that this is in first.

The most expensive room here costs 25,000 American dollars a night, and that's if you're lucky. The average room in this beautiful hotel costs more like 2500, but that's still a lot.

Known to be the best hotel by the common folk, there is a myth that this is the only 7-star hotel in the world that may be true. I really appreciate the architecture of that amazing building.

The Plaza, New York

I mean, it's the Plaza! Somebody please explain why the Burj Al Arab is ahead of this perfect hotel! Much more well-known. I never even heard of the Burj Al Arab before this.

Why isn't it in first? It is clearly the best and most famous hotel. I could only go there if they quadrupled my salary and I sold my car. That's how expensive it is.

Best hotel ever. It is always a sight to see and never gets old when I pass it on my way to work.

Burj Khalifa, Dubai Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The building was in construction from January 2004 to January 4, 2010, when the skyscraper was finally opened. Burj Khalifa is 829.8 meters tall.

The tallest building in the world is also the best hotel. There are so many attractions in Dubai that are all near this. The fountains in front of it shoot over 500 feet in the air to the beat of modern music, and it is a really good sight to see.

Let's get the greatest building on earth to first!

OMG remember Ghost Protocol? I remember in the movie it was so cool when the sandstorm came and he was outside the building. The hotels look really nice when they were pretending to be each other.

How is another building from Dubai ahead of this? I haven't even heard of the others on this list, and this is way cooler.

Ritz Paris, Paris

This was the first hotel with phones, electricity, and a tub in every room, and now it is one of the most elegant and famous hotels in the world.

It's insane to think that before then, there were no phones in every room.

Fanciest and most luxurious hotel in the whole wide world.

The Bellagio, Las Vegas

A beautiful and luxurious hotel in Vegas. Costs a lot, but it is excellent. The last time I went to Vegas, the famous fountain attraction there was amazing.

The fountain show there rivals the Burj Khalifa's. It has the best casinos on Earth.

I have been to this hotel before. I didn't stay in it, though. I only walked through it.

The Luxor, Las Vegas

It has bad ratings, but it's actually super good. There are really neat exhibits, the hotel is super cool, and while the rooms aren't the best, everything else is great.

You must check out the pools.

The famous black pyramid in Vegas with the brightest man-made light coming out of the top. I've been there, and it was a pretty good hotel.

This is the fourth biggest pyramid in the world! Beyond awesome, especially when the only ones above it are pyramids from Egypt.

Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills

No hotels have appeared in more TV shows, movies, or pop culture than this famous hotel.

Gevora Hotel, Dubai

This is easily the tallest building in the world whose only purpose is to be a hotel, so I think it should be on here, even though I never heard of it before some research.

Of course, Dubai seems to have a specialty for hotels, and out of the top 20 biggest hotels, 15 of them are located in the amazing city.

Tallest hotel in the world? Never heard of it, but that's pretty neat. Let's get it higher!

I have seen it before, and it is enormous. I didn't know that it was a hotel, though.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Dubai

I have stayed here before, and I had the time of my life. It is near so many amazing places and attractions in that beautiful, rich city. It has a really nice spa, gym, and pools, and while very expensive, the suites are amazing.

Yet another very famous hotel in Dubai, the Jumeirah Emirates Towers are enormous and beautiful buildings that are a huge part of the beautiful Dubai skyline.

I have lived within sight of these for my whole life, and the beautiful architecture never gets old. Never stayed there, though.

Claridge's, London

Yes! This is a British item! Finally, someone other than Britgirl has a British item on a list! Amazing!

On Claridge's, I've never been there, but I've heard amazing stories.

I'm sure that British users of this site will know this very well.

I have been here. I adore this hotel.

The Newcomers

? Atlantis, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai

Easily a 7 star with all facilities and extra outdoor activities in waterpark and the best beach view, a true palace.

? Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas

The most kid-friendly Vegas hotel. It's near lots of awesome stuff, the slides are great, and yet it still has casinos.

I have been here before. It had a nice buffet.

A hotel with roller coasters? Count me in!

The Contenders
Kalahari, Ohio
Hotel Astoria, St. Petersburg
Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai

This is not the Taj Mahal you think of when you read this, but a different building entirely.

Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara

This may have been the best hotel I've ever personally experienced. It has an amazing, enormous, all-indoor water park, great suites, amazing breakfast buffets, and all sorts of amazing activities to do.

It is very kid-friendly, but unfortunately, it is super bad for your wallet.

This is a huge deal if you are from Canada. Everyone in my class talks about it, and it must be super cool because my parents say it is too expensive.

My friends say it's like Canada's Wonderland but a water park.

Amazing pools at an amazing hotel. There is this magic thing where you get a wand, and in the hallways, your wand can make screens do things. The hallways look like forests and stuff.

Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea

Ryugyong Hotel has no interior fittings or windows, no paint either. There's a reason it's called "Hotel of Doom." Please try to research before adding items.

The name does sound pretty weird, but it looks nice. Never heard of it, though.

I did forget about this in my top ten, but this is a very good hotel.

Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Florida

Love Disney so much. They have amazing theme parks. It's hard to explain all the beautiful emotions and things I felt back when I was a kid and stayed at Disney.

The original Disney hotel, so of course it earns a place on this list. I've been there, and it was memorable.

Disney World is so amazing. I love it so much, and all of the princesses are my favorite. I don't know if I have been here before, but I really love Disney.

Crowne Plaza Airport Hotel, Singapore
Boulevard Hotel Ocean Drive, Florida
The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto

A really nice and luxurious hotel here in Toronto. Five-star hotels are getting rarer and rarer, but this is still one.

I live in Ottawa, and I have been here with my family for the holidays. It deserves at least a top 5 spot, and it is extremely amazing.

I live in Toronto. Unfortunately, this is the only one on here from Toronto, so I vote for it.

The Strat, Las Vegas

I actually have never heard of this, whatever it is. I'll look it up when I'm done on this site.

Edit: I didn't know that the Strat was just another name for the Stratosphere! Of course, the Stratosphere is a really nice hotel that I did know about, just not by this name.

Get it to first! I can't believe four other hotels from Vegas are higher. I can understand two of them because the Bellagio and the Luxor are okay. Mandalay Bay should be high but still lower than this, and Circus is garbage and shouldn't be on here.

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Hawaii

I have been to Hawaii four times and don't plan on stopping. It is a wonderful place to vacation.

The Manta Resort, Tanzania
Waldorf Astoria Chicago, Chicago

Best hotel ever. Get in first, yeah?

I hated that there were no hotels from here in Chicago, so I added the one with the best ratings.

Tulemar Bungalows & Villas, Costa Rica
Lovers Deep, St. Lucia

If anyone on this site was rich enough to go here, please reply to this comment. I will kiss your feet.

Jeez those prices. I fell out of my chair when I saw them. No sane person would go here.

This is by far the most expensive hotel in the world, so I think that classifies it as "cool" and gives it a spot on the list
