An in-room spa, private helipad and an £18,000 price tag: Inside the world's highest suspended hotel suite 656ft above ground... and yes, it's in Abu Dhabi

• e-mail

For a luxurious beach holiday with a decidedly aerial element, look no further than the St. Regis Abu Dhabi.

Located in the centre of the city, the signature suite, which rents for a staggering AED 100,000 (£18,188) per night, hovers an impressive 200m (656ft) above the ground.

The hotel's showpiece, the 1,120 sq metre room can only be accessed by a private elevator and, as you might expect, offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf. 

At the St. Regis Abu Dhabi, which is the second St. Regis hotel in the UAE capital, the signature suite is a sight to be seen

And inside, it's old world glamour aesthetic is equally as spectacular.

The sprawling suite features three bedrooms, a pantry, a full dining room, library and cinema.

But it's the in-room spa that's truly a sight to be seen, offering a private steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi, two treatment beds and an exercise room.

And when guests decide to venture outside of their 24-carat gold leaf finished suite, there will be a Bentley chauffered car service at their disposal.

A private helipad also services the luxurious hotel room.

Suspended 200m in the air, the Abu Dhabi suite is the highest suspended hotel room in the world, overlooking the Arabian Gulf

In the three-bedroom suite, there are also in-room spa facilities, including two treatment beds, a sauna and a jacuzzi

And the hotel's showpiece doesn't come cheap! To rent the massive 1,120 sq metre room, it will set you back £18,188 a night

Of the three bedrooms, one has a circular king size bed, complete with a leather bed frame and head board

Throughout the suite, 24-carat gold leaf finishes are evident, including along the dark wood bathroom fixtures

Heavy on the old world glamour aesthetic, the sprawling suite also includes a pantry, a full dining room, library and cinema

The suite's VIP guests will also receive exclusive access to the Nation Riviera Beach Club, which sits along 200 metres of private beachfront.

There's also a pool, spa, gym and children's facilities on site, as well as several fitness classes, such as Pilates and sunset yoga.

The Remede Spa, which recently won the 2015 World Spa & Wellness Award for Hotel Spa of the Year - Middle East, is another must-experience hotel amenity, offering 25 different bespoke facials, massages and body treatments.

While guests admittedly never have to venture outside, if they do, a Bentley chauffeured car service will be at their disposal

There are also extensive conference facilities available for the hotel's VIP guests to use

The opulent suite is decorated in elegant shades of ivory, cream and gold, with many leather and marble accents found throughout

Though the suite includes a full-service dining room, there are also two acclaimed on-site restaurants for guests to enjoy
