The Fontainebleau has become one of the hottest Las Vegas hotels since it opened in December.
Beyoncé, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady were all at the hotel during Super Bowl weekend.
We got a tour of the exclusive Fleur de Lis suites, where all the VIPs stay.
Even in a city packed with flashy competition, the new Fontainebleau Las Vegas managed to attract the biggest stars during Super Bowl weekend.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z dined at Mother Wolf — one of the resort's 36 restaurants —while Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Brady partied at Poodle Room, its exclusive members-only club. Mark Wahlberg was playing bartender over at Komodo, while Lana Del Rey made it to Papi Steak after celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' win with Taylor Swift.
I spent two nights at Fontainebleau Las Vegas during the Big Game weekend and was given an exclusive tour of Fleur de Lis —the luxury suites where all the VIPs stay in Sin City.
Let's take a look inside, shall we?
The Fleur de Lis suites span the top five floors of the Fontainebleau, which is the tallest occupiable building in Las Vegas.
Guests staying in the Fleur de Lis suites have their own private entrance and elevators on the main floor, marked by two metallic golden doors that shimmer under one of the resort's many chandeliers.
The suites range from 1,000 square feet to the 10,000-square-foot penthouse, and prices start at $5,000 per night.
Guests are greeted with a welcome co*cktail, the "Fleur de Spritz," before their in-suite check-in begins.
There are subtle changes to differentiate the Fleur de Lis suites from the standard rooms below.
The halls are designed in a color palette of sunset orange and pink, rather than the soothing blues I saw on the floor of my room, and a signature (delicious-smelling) scent is pumped through the vents —instantly distinguishing the luxury suite experience.
I toured the second-biggest suite, which features a large living room and dining area.
As we opened the door, I immediately caught a glimpse of the Vegas skyline from the floor-to-ceiling windows, which take up nearly an entire wall in the spacious sitting and dining area.
I loved the water-ripple glass panels at the suite's entrance, which I learned are a tribute to the original Fontainebleau Miami. The subtle bow ties on the parquet wood floor also pay homage to the late architect Morris Lapidus, who incorporated his signature accessory in the original Fontainebleau. His iconic bow tie is now the symbol of the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and can be found throughout the resort (including its 60-foot-tall centerpiece chandelier).
The living room features plush royal-blue couches that match the modern carpet underneath.
Each suite features floral arrangements designed by Kardashian-beloved florist Jeff Leatham, as well as personalized welcome chocolates from Fontainebleau's executive pastry chef Patrice Caillot.
The new Las Vegas Sphere winked back at me as I looked across the sunny Nevada landscape from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The best view of the mountains surrounding Vegas is from the Fleur de Lis penthouse suite, which has four bedrooms plus an in-suite gym, sauna, and wellness room.
One of my favorite parts of the entire suite was the gorgeous private bar.
The bar perfectly illustrates how different patterns and textures have been designed to dance together within the Fleur de Lis suites, infusing every room with depth and intrigue.
The checkerboard wallpaper and navy leather stools add a dash of modernity to the bar, while the polished marble countertops and gold chandeliers retain that outspoken element of Las Vegas luxury.
The bedrooms are also decorated with rich blue and red accents.
I loved how the plush and textured navy wall added some dramatic flair to this bedroom, especially when paired with the scarlet couch by the window.
The colors and textures used throughout the Fleur de Lis suites felt chic and cohesive, tying every room together.
Each Fleur de Lis suite comes with a dedicated butler.
The butler's evening service includes a pillow menu and tea program so guests can customize their pre-sleep experience.
Fleur de Lis also offers accommodations for children, including balloon bouquets upon arrival, petite-sized robes, playpens, board games, and PlayStation 5.
A sleek and subtle panel allows guests to control each room's lights and automatic drapes to their preference.
There are also buttons to instantly call for towels or housekeeping service, as well as a privacy option.
Personal concierge services are included in the Fleur de Lis package, and they can arrange any tickets or reservations a guest may need from the comfort of their own suite. Guests also have access to a personal valet and a private fleet of Rolls-Royces.
The soaking tub was my favorite feature of the sparkling marble bathroom …
The butler can draw up a bath selected from the Fleur de Lis menu, which features everything from a milk bath to Epsom salt soaks.
… as was the sunbed overlooking the Las Vegas skyline.
There's plenty of room in the spacious bathroom for guests to enjoy in-suite services from Fontainebleau's spa. You can even have an IV drip delivered to your room after a big night of partying.
And who doesn't love a private sauna?
The sauna, which in this suite was subtly tucked between the tub and sinks, can comfortably fit two people.
The showers were also huge, and offered stunning views.
In addition to Fontainebleau's custom shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, the suites also offer luxury Knesko face masks and Dyson hair tools.
The Fleur de Lis suites illustrate how the Fontainebleau is ushering in a new era of luxury in Sin City.
Whether it's the big bets or wild clubs, Las Vegas has always been over the top. And, for many decades, that's often gone hand in hand with places that feel cheesy or gaudy.
But the Fontainebleau clearly wants to provide something different to the Strip. There's a chicness and elegance to its design that's evident no matter which suite you stay in. The rich textures, refined fabrics, and tasteful colors reveal how real luxury is often subtle.
No wonder it's become the hot spot for Hollywood's biggest stars.
