The 2,152 sq ft penthouse at the five-star Edinburgh Grand will also become "the new landmark in tourism", according to its managers.
One insider said its £2,000 a night cost would make it the city's "most expensive", outstripping the £1,260 price-tag for the Balmoral Hotel's JK Rowling suite.
The Grand joins the likes of Glasgow's Principal Blythswood Square Hotel, which has a penthouse costing £2,500 a night.
