Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, India

Gilt moldings, sinuously carved marble and intricate ceiling frescoes add to the suite’s elaborate decoration. Situated on an island in India’s Lake Pichola, the hotel was used as Octopussy’s lair in the 1983 James Bond film and has long been a destination for European royalty and American celebrities.
