Blending a rich history with contemporary appeal, The Clarence is a boutique hotel in Dublin, Ireland that has all of the ingredients needed to create a unique luxury experience.  The fact that it is owned by Bono and The Edge of U2 only further adds to the appeal and injects The Clarence with A-list allure.  Originally built in 1852, the 50-room hotel was purchased by the Irish rockers in 1992 and transformed into an elegantly modern escape that still maintains its unpretentious charm.  With so much to offer, including its ideal location in the center of Dublin on the River Liffey, individually designed rooms and suites, relaxing spa, and popular Octagon Bar, it would be hard for anyone to check-out of The Clarence saying "I still haven't found what I'm looking for."

In Chicago, we have the famous Old Water Tower which survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.  Today the tower serves as a visitor information center and stands as a landmark reminding citizens of the Second City's recovery from the blaze.  Along with an impressive shopping center, nearby Water Tower Place showcases some amazing luxury homes, including this corner unit with breathtaking city views.  The home also boasts exquisite finishes including stone and marble, Smart Tech home technology, and a master suite with his and hers baths and closets.

Almost halfway around the world from Water Tower Place in Chicago stands a luxury home that takes the notion of water tower luxury living to a different level.  Brussels, Belgium is the setting for this unique luxury property that has been refitted from an actual old water tower.  The bright and spacious residence with a contemporary flair includes two apartments and boasts amazing views from the terrace.  And I'm guessing the plumbing is top-notch.
