The World's Most Expensive Hotels – Summer 2017

Canada has just been recognized as having the most expensive hotel accommodation in the world, according to a recent survey conducted by Luxury-Hotels.com. While many travelers expect traditional tropical resorts to dominate the top tier, this global ranking reveals that exclusive urban suites and scenic mountain lodges commanded peak prices in 2017.

The survey compared luxury accommodations worldwide based on their cheapest available rate for a double room during the peak summer months (July 1 through August 31, 2017). To ensure a fair comparison, the rankings considered highly sought-after properties and exclusive suites across the globe.

At a minimum nightly rate of $1,331, the New Suite For Fifa At Vancouver Downtown in British Columbia takes the number one spot. Taking the second and third spots are the Luxury King Room With Mountain View in Utah and the Teton Mountain Lodge And Spa in Wyoming, with minimum nightly rates of $1,303 and $1,260, respectively.

The top 10 features a highly diverse mix of properties, ranging from European retreats like Italy's Casagliana Suite Resort to exotic getaways such as Mexico's Garza Blanca Sanctuary Puerto Vallarta and Thailand's Le Ville Lanna Chiang Mai Gate Old Town Hotel.
