<![CDATA[We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. 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. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view. <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Killer_View_Kobe_Portopia_Hotel.jpg" class="imgborder"> Seemingly a staple in every high-end restaurant these days, Kobe beef actually originated in the city of Kobe, Japan.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Chapel_Sweet.jpg" class="imgborder"><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/maps/Japanese-Love-Hotels-Map"><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/chapelmap_story.jpg" align="right"></a> What could sound more innocent than a place called <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Chapel+Sweet/local/723">Hotel Chapel Sweet</a>? But this is the name of our Japanese love hotel pick of the week. Of course, even the sweet and innocent amongst us can visit a love hotel, especially since they often turn out to be cheaper than a regular Japanese hotel!Anyway, the Hotel Chapel Sweet is in the city of Kobe, just west of Osaka. Along with a 24 hour room service menu, they also offer costume rental. Of course. And while, like many love hotels, their website is 90% Japanese and without an English version, we do think we understand that bringing <a href="http://www.chapel-hotel.co.jp/shop/kansai/37_kobe/coupon/index.html">this coupon</a> along will save you
