Hotel Londra Palace is No Splurge If You Value Venice Views

Where: Riva Schiavoni 4171, Venice, Italy, 30122

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.

The Hotel Londra Palace in Venice, situated on Riva degli Schiavoni, looks onto St. Mark's Basin and is quick to boast its spectacular views on its website: "no fewer than a hundred windows on the lagoon of Venice that enable guests to enjoy a view that goes from the Salute Basilica to the island of Giudecca and the various islands dotted about in this part of the lagoon: San Giorgio Maggiore, San Servolo, San Lazzaro degli Armeni and Lido."

From the looks of this photo by Quasimime, Londra Palaca delivers. The photographer says that when she stayed at the hotel, she "would climb out the windows and perch myself on the ledge...like an owl." We would probably do the same thing.

During the low season, rates start around $375 USD and can climb all the way to $735 USD for just a plain old standard room — so a view like this will cost you. But if sitting owl-style on your hotel room's windowsill enjoying the sight of the pretty water is priceless to you, then go for it...that is, of course, if you're willing to brave Venice with the possibility of another surge of acqua alta.
