The Beauty Of a Hotel View Is In the Eye Of the Beholder

Where: 234 W 48th Street [map], New York, ny, United States, 10036

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.

You know what? The world is full of people complaining. And mean people. And swine flu. And sadness. And, unfortunately, bad hotel views.

However. Let's all take a minute and polish our attitudes and remember that when it comes to hotel room views, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Right?

Take, for instance, a Manhattan hotel view — and we all know that big city views have the most dangerous potential to go from possibly-killer to impossibly-anti-view due to the crowding of buildings and whatnot — such as this one. This is a shot by Kevin H., who, instead of posting a complain-y caption of his Best Western President hotel view (which, by most standards, would be a certified anti-view), but he captioned it:

View from the window of my room at the Best Western President hotel in New York City's theater district. It made me think of an Edward Hopper painting.

Look at that. A little positivity in such a negative world. A little more positivity: rates here start at only $110 for some dates in May. Hooray!
