Palazzo Versace, Australia
Donatella Versace may be known for churning out skimpy skin-baring dresses season after season but with the Palazzao Versace, which sits at Australia's Gold Coast, the fashion diva has certainly not skimped on luxury.
Bulgari Resorts, Bali
Bulgari Resort, Bali, Indonesia
The Bulgari brand is all about glamor that is off-limits to the masses, and their Bali resort appears to promise just that. The Bulgari Resort is perched atop a cliff at Pura Luhur Uluwatu, an ancient Hindu site of worship, and consists of 59 villas hovering some 150 meters above the Indian Ocean. Fancy a dip in the water? The resort's private inclined elevator will take guests down to a private 1.5-kilometers stretch of sand by the sea far, far away from the plebes.
Armani Hotels, Tokyo
Armani Hotel Dubai, Shanghai and Tokyo
Talk about vaulting ambition. Fashion godfather Giorgio Armani had just opened a hotel on the lower levels of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building and word is he's already planning to expand operations in six more locations around the world, including Shanghai and Tokyo. And let's not forget this man has dibs in almost everything, from Armani Dolci (his candy shop) to Armani Prive (his nightclub). Both ventures, naturally, make an appearance at his Dubai hotel and will probably pop up at his upcoming hotels as well.
The villas are inspired by traditional Balinese courthouses and are paved with lava stones and thatched roofs. Each villa comes with three bedrooms, a living room, a mini-bar, a mini theater supported by a Bang and Olfusen sound systems, an outdoor meditation pavillion and - wait for this - a 20 meter plunge pool.
The hotel has 200 glass-paneled bedrooms that hit guests with Versace sensory overload - think bed linens, doorknobs, bath amenities and stemware all etched with Versace's Medusa logo. Staying true to the brand's bling bling kitsch aesthetic, the beige toned rooms are adorned with bright pops of fuchsia, gold and ultramarine.
