Raffles Hotel
What: Royal Suite
Where: Wafi, Dubai
If you thought the Waldorf’s suite was a touch cramped at 390 square metres, you perhaps need to select the Royal Suite in Raffles. At 650 square-metres, it’s more than enough room for a decent game of five-a-side football if only there weren’t walls separating the lounge, dining room, bedrooms and bathroom, which comes with spa amenities and a Jacuzzi. There is a 24-hour butler service, too.
Nice touch: You can hire the entire 2,000 square-metre “Dubai Floor” at Raffles, which comprises three club rooms, two deluxe landmark suites, one executive landmark suite and one ambassador suite… For AED85,000, only.
Price: AED20,396 per night

Emirates Palace
What: Three Bedroom Palace Suite
Where: Corniche, Abu Dhabi
If Louis XIV was ever looking for a room for the weekend in the Middle East, he’d probably choose this one. In fact, it might even have been designed with him in mind. This mini-Versailles is a prodigious 680 square-metres and boasts a majlis living area, three regal bedrooms, dining room with pantry facilities, an extensive private terrace overlooking the Gulf and a private jacuzzi.
Nice touch: This is actually three suites in one and can be divided up accordingly or opened out into one large residence.
Price: AED40,293 per night (discounts available for bookings 14-days in advance)

Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi Grand Canal
What: Royal Suite
Where: Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street, Abu Dhabi
This is a palace in every sense of the word. An expansive property with a gran setting on the Khor al-Maqta waterway, the Ritz-Carlton has an air of grandeur few modern hotels convey. The Royal Suite is in keeping, offering up two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room and three generous balconies. There is a butler on hand, who has his own private entrance.
Nice touch: Complimentary food is almost non-stop here, with a full American breakfast, midday snack, afternoon tea, hors d’ouevres, dessert and a late night snack, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Price: Est. AED50,000 per night
