The most-Instagrammed hotel in the world is one of the coolest in Sin City – and so huge you might need a map to find your way around. The $3.9 billion project boasts almost 3,000 rooms, a 40,000 square foot spa and a 3,200-seat theatre.

Go for cocktails at the supper club-inspired Rose Rabbit Lie bar, before throwing shapes to some of the world’s biggest DJs at the rooftop Marquee Nightclub.

Dubai is known for glitz and glamour, and the Palm doesn’t disappoint. Set against a jewel-bright sea, the lavish, pastel-pink resort – complete with glittering pointed spires – looks like something out of a Disney movie.

Wander through the Lost Chambers Aquarium, see marine life at the Ambassador Lagoon or visit the onsite waterpark (there’s an oceanic theme, in case you hadn’t noticed), or just sip cocktails by the pool.

Located right on Miami Beach in the heart of Millionaire’s Row, the Fontainebleau is one of the most historically significant hotels in Miami. Opened in 1954, it was designed by iconic architect Morris Lapidus – whose dramatic, neo-Baroque hotels in the ’50s and ’60s came to define the kitschy resort style of the era.

Today, it features branches of world-famous restaurants Hakkasan (Cantonese) and Scarpetta (Italian), while visiting performers include the likes of Justin Bieber.

Back to Vegas we go. The Wynn has won the most Forbes five star awards in the world (just try saying that five times quickly), and Instagram is full of arty shots of its amazing flower displays: think hot air balloons, merry-go-rounds, and globe-like lanterns dangling from the ceiling.

Despite efforts to focus on its more laidback, bohemian side, Ibiza is still known primarily as a party island – and that’s why people flock to the Ushuaïa for the summer (it’s closed during winter).

EDM DJs including David Guetta, Hardwell and Avicii have performed at the adjoining club, which is described as the island’s number one open-air venue; the hotel itself just makes partying more convenient.

Pictures of the Venetian Macao are initially confusing: at first, it’s difficult to figure out if you’re in Venice or Vegas. You probably wouldn’t guess that this luxury hotel is just across the water from Hong Kong.

As well as offering geographically confusing décor, the Venetian also boasts a duty-free shopping mall for guests to stock up on designer swag.

If you’re going to Las Vegas on holiday, it’s safe to say that you’re probably not looking to stay at an intimate boutique hotel – and probably just as well, because the Aria is a huge, hulking resort that isn’t afraid to skimp on the theatrics.

Guests can have their minds blown at an in-house Cirque de Soleil performance four nights a week, or head for dinner at the extravagant Carbone restaurant.

You can’t see it in this picture, but Atlantis on Paradise Island looks an awful lot like its sister hotel (and number two on this list), Atlantis the Palm in Dubai. The Bahamas iteration is a giant complex of nine hotels, 20 pools and 21 restaurants – but the most luxurious spot to stay is the Cove Club, which includes a dedicated concierge for restaurant, spa and cabana reservations.

You know what you’re getting with a Hard Rock Hotel: OTT glamour, luxury, and lots of super-tanned people taking selfies by the pool.

If you really fancy living like a rock star, you can spend a day recording in Hard Rock Punta Canta’s Music Lab – or just take it easy with a cocktail while you lounge in a hammock on the beach.

Probably the most restrained option on the list, the W Barcelona is all about sleek, chic city glamour. Book a room with floor-to-ceiling windows and views across Barceloneta Beach, spend your evening dancing and drinking on the rooftop bar, and you might even be able to get some good Instagram snaps out of it...
