Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time.

This is the first in a three-part series.</i><p>Our Hotel Maven first visited the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Jurys+Cork+Hotel/ian/114160"><b>Jurys Doyle Hotel Cork</b></a> in Cork County, a four-star hotel which just opened eight months ago. Here's the review: <blockquote><p> We stayed in a king bedroom on the fifth floor (their highest floor). The room was rather large and had a modern decor. The bathrooms were especially nice with a tub separate from the shower stall. <p>We stayed in Cork County for 2 days and the hotel had a great location for walking around the city. The restaurant and bar inside the hotel were good too. juliana 2007-09-04T17:05:18-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2005/7/21/22820/1385 <![CDATA[<p> <img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1930/radisson.jpg"><p> With the dog days of summer soon to descend on the States, why not a jaunt across the pond for a stay in Ireland, where the temperature rarely tops 70?<p> Cork, Ireland's second largest city, is the home of the ninth Radisson hotel built on Irish soil, with the opening of the $45 million, 132-room <a href="http://www.radissonsas.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=RadissonSAS%2FPage%2FrsasHotelDescription&cid=1087881384176&language=en&hotelCode=orkzr"><b>Radisson SAS Hotel &amp; Spa Cork, Ireland</b></a>. Built on the site of the 19th century Ditchley House, the hotel boasts such 21st century amenities as 24-hour room service, satellite television (in case you don't want to watch soccer, er, football) and WiFi internet access. Furthermore, there are 3 golf courses nearby--it is Ireland, after all. <p> Sure, all those amenities stevehaag 2005-07-25T09:30:23-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2004/8/12/22945/9302 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.jurysdoyle.com/files/402/782fd11e31.gif" align="right"> <p>To all you hotel workers bemoaning the close of the Jurys Hotel in Cork, Ireland: Put a (get this) <i>cork</i> in it.</p> <p>I'll let you stop laughing from the little play on words. Waiting ... still waiting. </p> <p>OK, read on, the <a href="http://212.2.162.45/news/story.asp?j=113885566&p=yy3886z7z&n=113886326">Ireland Online</a> article is just as witty, if not more so (impossible, yes?). </p> <blockquote><p>"The 220 workers affected by Jurys' decision to demolish its hotel are due to meet today to discuss their futures. Earlier this week, the Jurys Doyle group announced plans to demolish the existing building and replace it with a 185-bedroom hotel and 300 apartments."</p></blockquote> <p>But the hotel plans on offering jobs to the lot of them when it reopens.
