Rome Cavalieri, Rome, Italy

The best of the bathroom: The hydromassage tub in the Penthouse Suite at the Rome Cavalieri hotel is so spectacular, it has earned its own separate bathroom-within-a-bathroom in the guest suite. Up a few steps and glassed-in for gazing, the tub lets you take a dip while drinking in a view of St. Peter's Basilica. The ceiling over this Roman bath glitters with starry fiber optics, and you can set the lighting to green, blue, yellow, or—look out—red.

The rest of the bathroom: Paneled in a rare marble with malachite inlay, the palatial bathroom is trimmed with Swarovski crystals; there's an LCD TV above the opulent vanity, and the luxe triple-head shower is equipped with a tropical storm–inspired mister, plus scent therapy. The rest of the suite's no slouch, either, with Andy Warhol artwork and an oversize Karl Lagerfeld sofa set that was originally designed for Lagerfeld's home in Paris.
