Room With a Killer (Grand Canyon) View: We Want to Go to There

Where: West Rim Dr. [map], Grand Canyon Villae, AZ, United States, 86023

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.

Oh man. We don't really talk much about the Grand Canyon 'round these parts. Especially during the summer. It's hot over there right now — and our sights are usually turned to cool mountains or clear blue water and white sandy beaches. But this — well, this photo, in the words of Liz Lemon, makes us say we "want to go to there." Right?

This is a view from the Kachina Lodge, snapped by pfala. Yes, this is the Grand Canyon. And yes, it is gorge-ous.

The Kachina Lodge is one of those specialty lodges around the Canyon — on TripAdvisor, it falls around #8 of the 26 hotels in the region. Reviews are mixed — and the best reviews seem to rave about the view more than the room, but not all rooms have a view like this one. Make sure you ask for a room with a full view when you book. Rates go for around $170.
