Throughout history, the world’s most iconic luxury hotels have defined elegance, grandeur, and timeless hospitality. From the opulent Ritz in Paris, a favorite of Coco Chanel and Ernest Hemingway, to New York's Plaza Hotel, which became synonymous with high society, these establishments have set global standards in luxury. The Raffles Hotel in Singapore introduced the world to the famed Singapore Sling and colonial-style service, while London’s Savoy pioneered electric lights and en-suite bathrooms.

The Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai stood as a symbol of Indian resilience and luxury during colonial rule. Venice’s Hotel Danieli and Monte Carlo’s Hôtel de Paris have long attracted royalty, artists, and world leaders with their old-world charm and unmatched service. These hotels are more than just places to stay—they are living museums of culture, history, and innovation, continuing to inspire with their enduring legacy and the unforgettable experiences they offer guests from around the globe.
