A private elevator. This nine-room suite, which is featured in the first six images, is just one of the 101 suites recommended by Elite 101 in their July/August issue.
Crossing the pond, Le Meurice in Paris offers its Belle Etoile suite - with a decent size of 2,250 square feet. The best part? The private landscaped terrace is 3,200 square feet, and offers views of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. Getting worried about the price?
