In making the selections below, we kept the qualifications simple. The term honeymoon suite has no dictionary definition. Here, you’ll find romantic elements—special bathtubs, private pools, wood-burning stoves—sprinkled throughout. But in the end, these are simply among the most impressive suites in the MICHELIN selection, those with a lot of pizzazz and once-in-a-lifetime appeal, in hotels that span floating palaces to architectural desert masterpieces.
Perfect for a honeymoon? Absolutely. Perfect for marveling at their sheer splendor and individuality? Without question.
Shambhu Prakash Suite: Taj Lake Palace
Udaipur, IndiaThis former royal palace, located in the middle of Udaipur’s Lake Pichola, is today among the most head-turning hotels in the world—the hotel itself seems to float above the water.

Seaview Suite: Le Sirenuse
Positano, ItalyThe appeal speaks largely for itself. Here’s a seaside view along the Amalfi Coast, from the highest floor of the hotel. Besides that, you’ll have plenty of space to unwind: bedroom, living room, and bathroom complete with a very large, dare we say two-person, tub.
