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.

Big thanks to HC tipster Gil who dropped a few incredible pictures in our in-box after staying at the Hotel Bauer in Venice, Italy last month. To be precise, these pictures were taken on a sunny Sunday afternoon from Room 521.

We're already big fans of Venice and its winding canals, so a hotel room with views over the city's tiny streets and another outlook where you can actually watch the gondolas floating by is almost priceless. One of Hotel Bauer's walls lies directly on a canal so you can come out the front door, turn left and hop a gondola ride right there.

They're a bit pricey, but if you can afford the Hotel Bauer with its average room rates of over $800 a night, a gondola's just a small blip in the budget.

Another pic can be found after the jump.
