Crafted by Damien Hirst for the renowned Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, this extraordinary Sky Villa stands as possibly the world’s most remarkable hotel suite—an epitome of luxury exclusively reserved for millionaires and casino aficionados willing to shell out a staggering $200,000 for a mere two-night stay.
Undoubtedly claiming the title of the world’s most expensive hotel suite, the two-story luxury sky villa, named the ‘Empathy Suite,’ showcases Hirst’s distinctive designs, creating an enchanting ambiance throughout. A pivotal component of a $690 million investment aimed at transforming the Palms Casino Resort, this exceptional suite caters to the every desire of its elite clientele.
The Sky Villa offers an array of amenities, including 24-hour butler service, a private art tour, a chauffeur-driven car service for the entire stay, exclusive access to the resort’s most prestigious amenities, and a $10,000 credit for use during the stay.
Born from a collaboration between Bentel & Bentel and Damien Hirst, the opulent hotel suite features Hirst’s ‘signature’ in nearly every detail. Specially crafted furniture adorned with Hirst’s distinctive spin designs, butterfly and pharmacy motifs, and monumental artworks, such as two bull sharks suspended in formaldehyde, contribute to the suite’s bespoke allure. A 13-seat curved bar, envisioned by the acclaimed artist, enhances the overall experience.
The suite also boasts two lavish lounge and theater areas flanking the bar, accommodating a total of 52 guests, all enveloped in an interior design that is nothing short of breathtaking. Serpentine-shaped Italian leather sofas, high-end furnishings, exquisite drapery, and impeccable carpeting create a space of utmost comfort. The expansive dining area and an outdoor veranda featuring a cantilevered Jacuzzi adorned with mosaic inlaid butterflies and pill decals add to the suite’s allure.
Priced at $100,000 per night, the suite houses chic master bedrooms with California-king beds, spacious closets, and museum-worthy bathrooms. Guests of the Empathy Suite are treated to additional luxuries, including a private healing salt room, two massage rooms, and a fitness room.
