The remarkable two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite spans 1,216 square feet and evokes the feel of a private residence in the sky. It is home to generous separate living and dining spaces; a king bed and two single beds; premium tea and coffee facilities; and design details paying homage to Chiang Mai’s rich Lanna heritage, including striking sculptures reminiscent of traditional “tung Sai moo” flags.

Palace Suite at Palace Hotel Tokyo
At 24,326 square feet, in a city where hotel rooms can resemble shoeboxes, Palace Hotel Tokyo’s top Palace Suite is expansive. Views of the Imperial Palace Gardens and city skyline beyond are enjoyed from wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows streaming an abundance of natural light. With a sophisticated atmosphere, the suite is shaded in earthy tones and decorated with contemporary furnishings throughout. Its spacious living room and dining area are accented with hints of muted gold, soft greys and a splash of apricot, while warm hues of gold and aubergine purple intermingle in the master bedroom. The hotel’s largest suite is a feast of design flourishes, from hand-tufted carpets to its elegant marble work, exquisite silks and Japanese lacquer work. Art hung from the walls is not so much decorative (though it is that) as worthy of contemplation.
