Whether it’s a freestanding tub that calls for a relaxing bubble bath or plush linen sheets that offer a good night’s sleep, these bedrooms and their ensuite bathrooms communicate luxury in their own way. Click through to see each dreamy escape.

Designer Brian Gluckstein stole space from the attic to make this principal bedroom, which is part of a former Princess Margaret Showhome, feel more cavernous. “Why have an 8′ ceiling when you can have a 12′ one?” says Brian.
Brian chose a soothing, creamy hue for the principal ensuite and embellished the feature walls behind the tub for a soft patina.
Hudson’s Bay president Bonnie Brooks’ own master bedroom is bright and airy. And while the decor does skew towards minimalism, symmetrical side tables and a parchment dressing table keep the space from feeling too spartan.
