What: Bisha Hotel Where: King and Blue Jays Way Opened in: November 2017 Price: $2,500 per night for the 2,025-square-foot Bisha Suite Operator: Loews Hotels

Loews Hotels attends to the hospitality at Bisha, but nightlife king Charles Khabouth’s company, Iconink, manages the hotel’s two restaurants as well as its bar and café—and the entire property bears his unmistakably opulent stamp. (Studio Munge, his frequent collaborator, designed the public spaces and most of the guest rooms.)

A double set of enormous black doors leads into a windowless reception area that’s almost like a wraparound vanity. Between the gold-etched reception desk, the marble floors and the Jeff Koons sculpture of a balloon animal in the corner, just about everything save the black velvet walls has a reflective surface.

The 14-room VIP floor by Kravitz Design (fronted by rock star–turned–designer Lenny Kravitz) bucks the dark colour scheme in favour of a 1970s palette of burnt orange, ochre and aubergine. The most impressive quarters in this part of the hotel are in the two-storey Bisha Suite.

The walls in the room are black with marble wainscoting. Against that backdrop, bronze features—including a cubist 32-bulb chandelier—seem to shimmer. An embarrassment of overstuffed pillows gives the space a boudoir sensuality. Upstairs, a buttery-soft king bed is flanked by an L-shaped couch, suggesting that the party doesn’t have to end at the bedroom door.

In the upstairs bedroom, black oak sliding doors hide a marble-decked master bathroom:
