The World’s Most Iconic Honeymoon Suites for Newlyweds
It isn’t easy to plan the perfect first holiday of your new life together. But finding an idyllic hotel—with the dreamiest suites—is a good first step.
Kohinoor Suite, The Oberoi Udaivilas, Udaipur
Set on the banks of Lake Pichola, this lavish property will be the perfect setting for your perfect love story. The architecture takes inspiration from the erstwhile kingdom of Mewar, and each accommodation carries the echoes of this royal past. The Kohinoor Suite—as the name suggests—is the sparkliest jewel of this crown. The elaborate, fit-for-a-king (and queen) accommodation comprises a master bedroom, a twin bedroom, a dining room, and a living room, along with a private pool and a 24-hour butler service. The interiors boast several regal touches, such as gold-domed ceilings, mirror mosaics, and hand-carved marble jaalis—just the extra extra you may crave during your honeymoon.
Ernest Hemingway Presidential Suite, The Gritti Palace, Venice
Dating back to 1475, the palace served as the private residence for many illustrious families before it was finally converted into a luxury hotel in 1895. And to date, bears specks of that glorious past. So be ready to be greeted by Venetian fineries and artworks, some as old as the palace itself. Opt for the Ernest Hemingway Presidential Suite, an ode to the American author—who stayed here in the 1940s-1950s—and their largest, most distinguished lodging. It boasts three private standing balconies and offers panoramic views of the city, including the Grand Canal and Campo Santa Maria del Giglio. A bonus if you’re a literature enthusiast—it even has books and artefacts by Hemingway, including his own club chair. And a full wet bar with some of the author’s favourite wines.
Sarkies or Sir Stamford Raffles Suites, Raffles, Singapore
Nestled amidst the soaring skyscrapers that dominate the bustling city’s skyline, Raffles is an ode to the bygone glamour of a Grande Dame. And their Sarkies/Sir Stamford Raffles Presidential Suites—the grandest here by the hotel’s own claim—are testament to just that. The two-bedroom pair come with a separate parlour, dining room, living room, dressing area, a personal pantry, a private balcony, and a 24-hour butler service. The interiors feature lofty amenities as well, complete with teakwood floors, all-marble double vanity bathrooms, priceless antiques, and rare memorabilia. Ideal for a honeymoon ensconced in old-world charm, timeless elegance, and modern tastes.
