<![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/admin/singerisland_kv.jpg" class="imgborder">When we first wrote about the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Resort+at+Singer+Island/local/575">Resort at Singer Island</a>, we prayed that the place would have better views than its <a

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/rsi_infinitypool.jpg" class="imgborder">A few days ago, we were able to get a tour of the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Resort+at+Singer+Island/local/575">Resort at Singer Island</a> which we will tell you all about after we complete a stint at too-much-turkey-and-stuffing rehab next week.While we were there we noted a very <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/20/173543/10/hotels/_Tis_the_Season_To_Take_The_Kids_Away_On_Holiday">family-friendly pool</a> with a grotto and a waterslide, but we were concerned that adults would have no place to chill out for themselves.But our fears were quashed when we saw the adults-only infinity pool with cabanas overlooking the beach.Since we are a bit of an <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/11/12/145631/26/hotels/The_Best_Hotel_Infinity_Pools">infinity pool fiend</a> here, we just had to share this shot with you.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/amrit_singerisland.jpg" class="imgborder">The <a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/07/06/travel/escapes/06break1.html">NYT</a> reported last week in its Escapes section that <a href="http://www.amrit.com">Amrit Resort & Residences</a> is to break ground on Singer Island, Florida just 10 miles north of the ritzy Palm Beach. <blockquote>The project is near the midpoint of the island, just above where a causeway enters from across the lagoon. There will be 195 condominiums in the three 20-story towers; a 101-unit, 8-story condo-hotel and 6 beachfront villas.</blockquote> There will also be a private beachclub, a fitness center and an Aveda Spa with a Himalayan Institute wellness center. The place won't open until 2010 but in the meantime, if you visit Singer Island you can hit up the newly opened <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Resort+at+Singer+Island/local/575">The Resort at Singer Island</a>.

Hotel Opening Rate: The Resort at Singer Island

pbb — 2007-05-16T11:05:01-05:00

Time for more ritzy South Florida resorts. The all-suite-slash-condotel Resort at Singer Island has opened up with a fairly legit opening rate: From $215 a night all summer long, with a minimum two-night stay.

With at least 800 square feet of space per suite, this is pretty nice bang for the buck. You'll also find kitchen appliances and butler service at the ready. As is often the case at high-end properties, you'll have to pay for WiFi. But at least you can use it on the terrace attached to every suite.

Sounds nicer than some other North Palm Beach hotels we've heard about!

Room with an Anti-View: Hilton Singer Island

<![CDATA[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 <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>. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/CIMG0349.jpg" class="imgborder"> Room 221, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Singer+Island+Oceanfront+Resort/ian/108059">Hilton, Singer Island</a> in North Palm Beach, Florida.Beware of
