Boutique hotels have finally made their way down to the Jersey Shore with Long Branch NJ's "Bungalow" currently under construction.
Bungalow probably won't open until Spring/Summer 2009 - but the plans call for a 24-room luxury hotel on the beach, a-la W Hotels. In fact, the developers of Bungalow are the same developers of the W Hotel Hoboken, and the design of the hotel will be contemporary luxury with attention being paid to the fact that it is a beachfront hotel.

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.

Al Cielo is a four room rustic beach boutique hotel is right on Xpu-Ha Beach in Mexico's Riviera Maya. Many Xpu-Ha beach visitors don't hear about this place until they take stroll on the beach and see the view afforded to those lucky few who stay here. The most common comment from these Al Cielo oglers? "Next time we go to Mexico we are staying there".
Meanwhile, the folks who actually are staying in one of the four rustic beachfront rooms can't wait until the gawkers move along, so they can enjoy views uncluttered views like the one above from the comfort of their bed.
