Does luxuriating in a suite adorned with millions of dollars of jewels or sipping champagne from your private suite terrace with jaw-dropping city views sound like your kind of fantasy suite? Here are 10 of the most luxurious hotel suites in the United States– from palatial city escapes to lavish oceanfront hideaways.

Suite 5000, Mandarin Oriental, New York

With panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline overlooking Central Park, Suite 5000 is not only the five-star hotel's biggest suite, but also its biggest secret. It doesn't even exist according to the hotel's website -- the stunning three-bedroom suite cannot be found online and can only be booked by calling the hotel and asking for it by name. While "Suite 5000" may sound like just one of the property's gorgeous one-bedroom suites, it's the ultimate "in the know" suite. Spanning 3,300 square feet with east-to-west views from floor-to-ceiling windows and with a distinctly residential look and feel, you'll feel right at home with custom perks including complimentary hair and make-up appointments with Dior stylists.

Presidential Suite, St. Regis Bal Harbour
Bal Harbour, Fla.

Check into the sumptuously designed Presidential Suite at The St. Regis Bal Harbour resort and be dazzled by its panoramic oceanfront views as far as the eye can see. Just 15 minutes north of buzzing South Beach, in the luxurious enclave of Bal Harbour Village, this 2,721-square-foot two-bedroom suite with spectacular wraparound balcony, chef's kitchen and eight-seat guest dining area will feel like your luxury oceanfront home away from home. Dazzling interiors by renowned designer Yabu Pushelberg take modern chic to a whole new level. Signature St. Regis butler services will ensure you never have to lift a finger. While you may feel like you will never want to leave the suite, the Oceanfront Day Villas and the theatrical signature champagne sabering in the St. Regis Bar are just a few good reasons why you should.

Jewel Suite, New York Palace

What could be more spectacular than a suite inspired by the world's finest jewels? The modern deco Jewel Suite at The New York Palace is the ultimate gem.
