A PALATIAL building where each room cost around $10 million to create is being dubbed the “world’s most luxurious hotel”.

The 13 Hotel in Macau, Hong Kong, is the latest venture from billionaire Stephen Hung and is set to open in late summer.

The number 13 is Mr Hung’s lucky number and guests who stay at this new hotel will certainly be counting their lucky stars, The Sun reports.

Villas vary from 185 square metres to a colossal 2787sqm and each one has its own individual and extravagant design.

Guests will have their own 24-hour butler as well as access to the hotel’s fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms

The sneak-preview images are of the hotel’s “entry-level accommodations” (believe it or not).

Don’t let this term fool you though, as all guests will still access their villas via personal elevators which open directly into the villa’s private elevator lobby, like a New York style penthouse.

Waking up in the bedroom, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d woken up in a parallel life as a member of the royal family.

The villa bed chamber has a kingsize, velvet-canopied bed with an elaborately carved and gilded Baroque headboard.

Visitors will also be able to relax in a bubble bath under art covered ceilings lit by standing candelabra.

The marble bathrooms come complete with a rain shower and electric bidet toilet hidden behind a floor to ceiling stained-glass facade.

Mr Hung, Louis XIII Holdings Limited co-chairman, said: “This was a labour of love. The team and I put every ounce of creativity and passion we had into this project to ensure every detail was perfect.

“Our guests, I believe, will find the result truly remarkable and beyond anything they have previously experienced.”
