Room with an Anti-View: Should Have Gone to Rio Instead of Here

Where: Brasilia, Brazil

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

When we imagine the view from a hotel in Brazil we see beaches, palm trees, and scantily clad-gorgeous people. Not a highway--as seen from the Hotel Meliá Confort.What's the point of going to Brazil if this is your view? Hell, with the currency exchange rate pointing in our favor a beachside room really shouldn't be all that difficult.

The horse-drawn carriage thingie is kind of cute though.

Brasilia's Blue Tree Hotel

Where: Shtn Trecho 01-CJ 1B, Blocos A E B, Brasilia, Brazil, 70800-200

It seems everything in Brasilia is pretty damn modern, but in that weird retro 1960s way. Blue Tree Hotel is no exception. Taking on plenty of interesting shapes just as the city does itself (fun fact of the day, Brazil's capital is purposefully shaped like an airplane), the hotel is a bright red semi-circle and within its hole is a squiggle shaped pool.

Actually it seems every last detail in this place will impress the socks (er...havaianas) off of any modern art lover.

The apartment-style rooms are modern and chic with different wall hanging installations and ultra contemporary furniture. To save yourself from the pool of sweat you'll without a doubt be soaking in whilst out in the city, the rooms also have individually controlled AC units.

As far as location is concerned, the Blue Tree is right on the beach providing panoramic views...but before you get too excited remember that this is Brasilia and not Rio...by beach we mean...a lake.
