When It Comes To Hotel Views, Perfect Just Isn't Good Enough

October 20, 2011 at 9:25 AM | by | Comment (1)

A new booking site is cashing in on the demand for an above-average hotel room view. Offering specific suites in 100 properties all over the world, The Most Perfect View was launched this month by 29-year-old Portguese entrepreneur Paulo Palha. The inspiration behind the company? EM Forster's Room With A View, of course. Though whether or not Julian Sands is included in any of the deals remains unclear (sadly, we're guessing not).

Rebel against a previous traumatizing anti-view experience and pick a view that's 'perfectly' suited to your tastes. From Ocean House in Rhode Island to the Shangri-La Tokyo, there is plenty to choose from—and hotels are browsable via an easy-to-use interactive map organized by cities or clickable criteria boxes like "by the water," "mountains," "urban," etc. When you arrive at the proper hotel page, scroll through high-res images to see just how "perfect" the view is. You like? You book!

Just like last-minute booking site HotelTonight, The Most Perfect View partners with specific hotels to offer the best available rates and latest promotions. Unlike that site, TMPV focuses more on the experience of being in the room, rather than just money- and time-saving conveniences. According to the Palha, the aim is to create a quintessential getaway experience by bringing the traveler as close as possible to their idealized vision:

"A hotel window with a view of Table Mountain or the Mediterranean Sea brings into sharp relief one’s sense of place and magnifies the experience of a certain destination. There’s no other magic quite like falling asleep checking the time with Big Ben in London or listening to the waves of Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro. These are remarkable experiences we invite you to live."

Of course, another way to find a decent hotel room view is simply to browse our own killer view tag on HotelChatter, which often includes newly-opened properties like Public Chicago or The Cosmopolitan. Not that we're bragging or anything.

cool idea

I would certainly use this as a utility when im looking for a new hotel in a new place, but they need to add more hotels to their list.
