More awesome, luxurious hotels exist in the world than you can imagine! These places are in all corners of the world, and they are just waiting for you to come see them. If you did, you would see how truly unbelievable they really are, but they are plenty of great hotels in the world. What makes these a step above the rest? All have three things which set them apart from the rest: their location, the amenities, and the décor.
Locations range from mountains to savannahs, islands to mainland, cities to remote areas, and all are beautiful in their own ways. Amenities provided at luxurious hotels go beyond the average. Most feature four-star restaurants, bars and wine cellars, impeccable staff, including private butler services, and ultra-pampering spas. The décor also exceeds the average. Genuine antiques, original art, marble walls and floors and crystal chandeliers just start the list. Everything within and without these hotels is the best.
