ritzy
Dripping with luxury
Ritzy means fancy, elegant, or ostentatiously luxurious, often with a hint of pretension: a ritzy hotel, a ritzy neighborhood.
The word derives from the Ritz hotels, synonymous with high-end accommodations.
Something ritzy impresses with its expense and polish, though the term can carry mild skepticism about whether the elegance is earned or merely showy.
