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 HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. 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.

We're not quite sure if this is a Killer View or just a really interesting one: it's taken from a hotel room in the Conrad Centennial Hotel in Singapore.

What you're looking at is the Suntec roundabout in Singapore. It's special because from 2008, there'll be a Formula One auto race held in Singapore, and this roundabout will be a part of the Singapore Grand Prix. There's a plan to hold it a night, if they decide the lighting will be safe enough for competitors (and spectators); now you know at least one of the hotels you should book into for a F1 view.

Umm, not quite (none / 0)

If you're booking this room and paying the $2000+ price tag for it during the F1, you'll be sorely dissappointed. The race track can't be seen from this room, or any on that side of the hotel, and it CERTAINLY doesn't go around this roundable! The closest the track comes is about 4 blocks away behind two more tall hotel buildings. About the only intersting this from this photo is the "Fountain of Wealth" in the shadows in middle of the roundabout, claimed to be the world's largest fountain... Not as impressive as it sounds though - just a large bronze donut from which water drops down into a hole. Give me Bellagio any day!
