Some of them are even in the best places to vacation!

Grab your family, invite your significant other, or just go alone to any of these indulgent 50 hotels totally worth the splurge.

The Alvear Palace is the height of luxury in Buenos Aires. It's located in the upscale neighborhood of Recoleta, surrounded by high-end boutiques (if you want to pop out and do some major spending). The hotel's rooms look straight out of Versailles, and they offer a tea service that would rival Marie Antoinette's from their restaurant L'Orangerie.

If you book a deluxe suite or higher, Alvear offers its guests complimentary butler service. That means someone from the hotel will do trivial things for you like draw you a bath, unpack your bags, and even order your room service.

Ravello is the most gorgeous Italian mountain town that you have never heard of. Within it is the equally gorgeous Belmond Hotel Caruso. The 11th-century palace offers breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea and two restaurants serving delicious Italian fare.

If you'll spend any price for the perfect scenic view, this is the hotel for you. The Carlton Hotel faces the Swiss Alps and a stunning placid lake that looks like a mirror when it freezes over. Plus, the hotel has a ton of activities from skiing and sledding to a horse-drawn-carriage ride, a fondue lunch and a dainty tea service. Plus, it oddly looks a lot like the hotel from Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel"!

This tiny family-run inn contains a Michelin-starred restaurant, a gorgeous spa and little 20th-century cottages with dry saunas. The seasonal menu features foods sourced from nearby artisans and farmers, and there are a ton of great wineries nearby. Even though it's just about an hour and a half outside of San Francisco, you might feel like you're in Provence.

When you're tired of the Strip and you're tired of the casinos, the Four Seasons Las Vegas is the place to relax. It's the anti-Vegas, with all the luxurious amenities you've come to expect from, well, Vegas.

This Four Seasons location offers three full-service restaurants, a very hot bar called Press, a five-star spa and a private pool.

Splurge on this Big Island hotel if your idea of a vacation is broken up with high intensity workouts. Its most popular amenity is its sports club, which offers over 15,000 square feet of facilities like yoga, tennis, a four-lane pool, a rock-climbing wall, a sand volleyball court and a gym. This nature-centric Four Seasons also complements the Hawaiian scenery that surrounds it. Whether you're chilling by the saltwater pool or lounging on a lanai on the balcony of your room, you'll notice that the hotel practically grows out of its lava rock surroundings.

You're not far from Disney World, but if you want to forget that you are, stay at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando.

Plus, this hotel doesn't incorporate Disney into its decorations. No hidden Mickeys here!

Ski bunnies, this is the hotel for you to splurge on.

Guests of the hotel can also take advantage of its ski concierge, who will store your equipment or help you to rent gear and purchase lift passes.

This secluded hotel is the perfect place to stay if you're hiding from the paparazzi or just want to get away from the slow crawl of LA traffic and your terrible assistant job (if you can afford it). This is the hotel to splurge on if you want private everything. The amenities are top of the line, but you won't find five pools and a kid's club or cooking demonstrations. In fact, this hotel only has one bar and one restaurant — but it's by no less than Wolfgang Puck, so you won't rue the lack of options.

Hotel Il Pellicano has maintained its glamorous '60s and '70s flair with a few timeless touches.

This picturesque hotel is equal parts desert and sea as this vacation spot sits on the Sea of Cortez and also the sprawling Mexican desert. A major reason to stay here is their "tequila sign" class, in which guests go through a blind taste test of tequilas to create a personalized profile. Once your profile is made, hotel bartenders create pairings around your taste wherever you drink or dine! Isn't that cool?
