La Hot View From St. Lucia's La Haut Plantation

Where: La Haut Estate, Soufriere, Saint Lucia

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.

While you sit at your desk and gaze at this photo of a place far prettier than where you are right now, allow us to add insult to injury by presenting the caption we encountered when we found this shot on N. Chatfield's Flickr page: "What we saw when sipping beer, sitting in a rocking chair, on the balcony of our room at La Haut Plantation hotel, Soufriere." Yup. Mad jealous, right?

The hotel, nestled on the coast of St. Lucia, is teensy: it has 13 rooms (six premium, four standard, one self-contained cottage and one 2-bed unit). And you'd better love the heck out of this view because those rooms have no TV's and no telephones. During the summer low season, rates for a single standard room start around $80 and prices can climb up to $525 for a six-person villa during the high season (winter) — but breakfast, gratuity and tax are bundled into the rate, so it doesn't seem too bad.

Then again, we imagine not a whole lot of things seem too bad when you're sipping beer in a rocking chair admiring this view.
