Panoramic Penthouse

You arrive through a gallery of golden onyx panels under a ring chandelier and come out into a room with windows on every side — a green-mosaic ceiling panel over curved sofas, a gilded figure on a plinth, a lounge and a study, and a private dining room that seats 14 with a kitchen behind it that a chef actually cooks in. The two king bedrooms are each en-suite, with walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms, plus a guest washroom and a safe room.

The terrace wraps the whole floor with a temperature-controlled infinity pool along it, and at 43 storeys there is nothing above you and nothing beside you. The floor below can be connected if the party is larger. It takes 4 adults and 2 children, which is a small number for 729 square metres. It is bought for the space, not the beds.
