Joy Dietz is a concierge travel agent based in Charlotte, North Carolina, who specializes in exclusive destinations. In the past, she has worked as a travel agent for Disney, Universal Studios, Royal Caribbean, Virgin, and more.

"As a specialized travel agent with years of experience, I have had the privilege of booking some of the most luxurious and expensive hotels in the world for clients," she told GOBankingRates. "I base my suggestions not only on the vivid experience of my clients, but also on my personal excursions."

Here are three luxury hotels that Dietz says are worth every penny:

Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora, French Polynesia

Average cost per night: $1728

"One of the most memorable hotels I would recommend is the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora," Dietz said. "It's a real paradise with bungalows over the water and pristine beaches. It may seem a bit pricey, but the personalized service, first-class amenities, and stunning views of the turquoise sea and sky are second to none. Every penny invested in this experience leaves unforgettable memories, from the private waterfront docks to the private pools."

Plaza Hotel, New York

Average nightly rate: $729

"In terms of urban luxury, the New York Plaza Hotel is an iconic choice," Dietz said. "It comes with a higher price tag, but the sophisticated nature of the rooms, strategic location in midtown Manhattan, and high-quality food and service make it worth every penny."

Grand Floridian Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Average cost per night: $811

"Just one monorail stop from the Magic Kingdom, this Victorian-style resort offers exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, specialty dining options like afternoon tea and traditional buffets, and a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the park. The cost may be higher than other options in Orlando, but for families seeking an unforgettable Disney vacation, this immersive Disney experience day and night is absolutely worth it."
