No, we were too busy looking past the actors at the jaw-dropping scenery. Over-water Tahitian bungalows have had a starring role in our daydreams for years. But properties like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/St.+Regis+Resort%2C+Bora+Bora/ian/239541">The St. Regis Bora Bora</a> resort have always seemed out of reach, the stuff of movie sets and Hollywood honeymoons. After all, who gets to vacation like that? You. Thats the hope of the St. Regis Bora Bora anyways. In a not-so-surprising move, the resort is debuting a new

We've gushed about Bora Bora views before <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/InterContinental+Resort+and+Thalasso+Spa+Bora+Bora/local/207">Intercontinental Bora Bora</a> took home the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/12/30/115211/21/hotels/Best_Killer_View_InterContinental_Bora_Bora">title</a> of the Best Killer View of 2008 and over at the Le Meridien, you can glimpse the Otemanu Mountain in the distance. Now the Le Meridien folks want to make sure that the view of the inside can stand up to the view from the inside. The renos have been underway since the beginning of the year, and all 99 of the resort's accommodations have already been equipped with new flat-screen TVs, video on demand, and WiFi.

When In Tahiti, Do As the Le Méridien Does

It's sad, but it's true: if you're in the midst of a dream vacation week on Tahiti, there is a point at which you will get antsy to do something other than slather yourself in tanning oil and kick back with John Grisham. This is exactly what the Le M�ridien Tahiti discovered last year after it launched L’Atelier du Chef, a series of intimate cooking classes with hands-on instruction from Executive Chef Sebastien Philizot.

<![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/6929/fourseasonsboraboraview.jpg" class="top"> Alright, alright: we know that we have gushed more than a time or two about the views from hotels in Bora

We're total suckers for clear blue water and clear blue skies, so 2008's Best Killer View award goes to the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/InterContinental+Resort+and+Thalasso+Spa+Bora+Bora/local/207">Intercontinental Bora Bora's </a>view of Mount Otemanu.
