7. Presidential Suite, Mandarin Oriental
Location: Pudong, Shanghai, China
Average price per night: US$27,900
The Presidential Suite at the Mandarin Oriental really is the only place to stay for those with bottomless bank balances when heading the way of Shanghai. Complete with its own wine bar, fully loaded private wine cellar, dining room, meeting room and gigantic 50-square-metre bathroom, it ticks all the right boxes for those who insist on redefining exclusivity. It also has no less than two private roof gardens – both of which are considerably more enjoyable during days of less-choking smog.
