Nothing to Complain About Here at the Pacific Edge 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.
What a pretty picture for a cool and dreary Thursday morning. (At least it is here in New York City.) Wouldn’t you give your right arm to be strolling on that sand, or sitting on the balcony gazing out at the Pacific? We probably would, but as it turns out, this killer view doesn’t have to come with a killer price tag. It’s not taken from the terrace of a five-star resort, but from the affordable Pacific Edge Hotel in Laguna Beach.

Now, Wouldn't This Be Loverly?
Ed. Note: Usually we do these feature on Thursdays but we couldn't get to it yesterday. Enjoy! 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. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.
Any hotel with the word Palais in it seems like a safe bet for a killer view and the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz, France does not disappoint. HotelChatter Flickr Pool member SehParks sent us this south-facing view of the pool and the beach. But if you can't get a south-facing room the western views are rather charming as well.
The room furnishings are palatial in the 1990s sense but the wireless internet is free. Room rates start at 425 Euros.

Whenever you stay in Paris, wherever you stay, having a view of the Tour Eiffel is probably at the top of your Parisian wish list. Well, if you have more money than Bill Gates you want the best view a hotel has to offer, then you should consider this suite at the Plaza Athenee where you can gaze at the Eiffel in all its grandeur, naked, from your suite's bathtub.

The Le Meridien San Francisco's Pretty But Pricey View
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.
A dedicated HotelChatter tipster sent us this drop-dead gorgeous view from a room at the Le Meridien San Francisco on one of the hotel's top floors. He writes:
Attached a picture from Le Meridien San Francisco, one of the top floors (formerly the Park Hyatt), lovely bay view (okay, the office tower in the middle isn't pretty, but still). The Transamerica Pyramid is just out of the picture to the left, the Bay Bridge could be seen when turning to the right. Very enjoyable stay, and excellent value for money.
And may we add that's the Coit Tower in the very back of the photo too. Rooms at the Le Meridien, located on Battery Street in the Embarcadero, don't have a pink color scheme but they do have a modern look with bright red ergonomic desk chairs and swiveling flat-screen TVs. Even better, the hotel is entirely smoke-free. Rooms start next weekend at $349 a night.

Do You Prefer A Room On a Higher Or Lower Floor?
It might seem like a no-brainer that people prefer staying in a hotel room on the highest floor possible to get a killer view, especially when trapped amongst skyscrapers in a big city.
And if you're the competitive type, staying on a high floor makes you feel as if you have an advantage over the other guests. "Oh you're on 18? Too bad, I'm on 32. Boo-ya!" You know how some people think.
Yet there are guests who may roll VIP-style but actually prefer a lower floor to the penthouse suite on the top floor (see: Richard Gere in Pretty Woman) It's true, not everyone wants to stay way up there. Do you?

The Palazzo Lets You Spy on The Wynn's Pool Scene

It's not that often that we get rooms with a killer view in Las Vegas. Like everything else in Sin City--if you want it, you gotta pay for it. And room views do cost extra. But last month we found ourselves with a pleasant view of The Wynn's (thankfully) tame pool scene and its golf course. And yeah, we zoomed in. A wider shot is after the jump.

It's Worth It to Stay Way Up There at The Westin Seattle
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.
HotelChatter Flickr Group member Kyle.Britten dropped in this shot from the Westin Seattle into our HotelChatter Flickr Pool to show us just how pretty the view can get from the 47th floor, room 4737 to be exact. When you're up that high, you can see nearly as much as you can from the Space Needle as well as the needle itself.
While we'd prefer a small boutique hotel over the massive Westin Seattle towers (891 rooms in total), sometimes riding that elevator high up into the sky is worth it.
Rooms start this weekend at $199 a night. A bonus shot of the hotel's two towers, shot during our recent trip to Seattle in May, is after the jump.

Watch The Padres From The Hotel Indigo's Parlor Suites
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.
When we hit up the Hotel Indigo San Diego last month, there was a party being held on the hotel's 9th floor Phi terrace where guests could sip on drinks, warm up near the fire pits (yes, it gets cold at night) and take in the ballgame going on over at Petco Park.
While nearly everyone can hit up the terrace for the views, only folks who book the hotel's parlor suites can get prime (and private) views from their bedrooms. An added treat? Fireworks go off after weekend night games--win or lose.
We checked the room rates next weekend when the Padres are playing at home and we found a king bedroom parlor suite for $329 a night. As always when booking a room for the killer view, make sure to call the hotel in person and request a ballpark view before you arrive or when you make your reservation. Sorry, personal bartender not included. That was only for the party!

Avoid a Lohan Meltdown By Soothing Yourself With This View
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.

Have you ever wanted to have a young-celeb-lady freakout? Trash a room, tip off the paps to your crisis, storm the hotel suite of an ex-lover, hotbox yourself in a bathroom and take some scandalous photos that may or may not leak in Star magazine? Maybe engage in a little head-shaving and eyebrow-raising trysts with bodyguards and things?
No? Never wanted that? Okay, let's ask the question a different way: have you ever felt so stressed that you were absolutely certain you were going to have a meltdown of Lohan proportions pretty soon? Okay. Yes.
We ask because we want to help — and because we're pretty sure gazing out the windows of a hotel room at the Petra Mare Hotel in Crete may help soothe your troubled soul.
This shot comes to us from mfoord, and it's a view of the balcony of a room — and, according to the website, most of the 227 "spicy" (hehe) rooms have sea views like this. Nice.

See the World's Biggest Twin Buildings Without Leaving Your Room
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.
It sounds kind of dirty to say that you can see the world's biggest twin buildings without even leaving your hotel bedroom, but in this case it's true in the most non-sexual sense: this photo was shot from a room at the Traders Hotel in Kuala Lumpur by davidduran. And yes, those are the Petronas Towers. Straight out the window.
The Petronas Towers are officially the tallest twin buildings in the world (once upon a time, they were the tallest buildings on the planet — but they've been dethroned by Taipei 101). And you can see 'em pretty well (that is, well enough to tell your friends you "saw" the towers) from The Traders, which is a 571-room Shangri-La property in the middle of the city.
Make sure you ask for a "Park View" room (the "City View" rooms, though they sound better, actually don't face the towers) and be prepared to shell out at least 700 MYR ($200-ish) for it.

A View That Makes Braving Piazza San Marco's Pigeons Totally Worth It
Can we please just take a hot minute to "oooh" and "ahhh" at this view from The Hotel Danieli in Venice? Seriously.
This is actually a shot taken from the terrace of the hotel's restaurant (where the photographer, DerekLakin, took tea, if you're interested) — and doesn't this sort of make that dangerous trek through the very, very nearby Piazza San Marco worth it? And when we say "dangerous," we mean "risky due to falling pigeon poo everywhere."
This hotel is part of the Starwood Luxury Collection and is "made up of three beautiful Venetian palazzi dating back to the 14th, 19th, and 20th Centuries, featuring hand-made Murano glass chandeliers, precious rugs, hand-carved marble columns, and many original antique pieces." The whole place got a big ol' renovation in '08, and the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel (where this shot was taken, we assume) was once "the viewpoint from which Venetian noblemen would once watch the arrival of merchant ships from the Orient with their wares."
Rooms here will cost you, though: they start around 510 Euros — or $710.

How We Spent The Morning 'Waking Up in Vegas'
So you all know by now how we scored this ridiculous suite at Planet Hollywood to spend the night in last week but when we shot the video room tour, it was nighttime and you couldn't quite see how amazing that view was.
Never fear. We made sure to film this killer view when we woke up in the morning so you could Las Vegas in all its sunshine-y glory. For the first time in a while, we spent our time "waking up in Vegas" (cue the Katy Perry song) just admiring the view.
Remember, this was a Panorama Suite on the 26th floor. The price: $72 all in on Hotwire. Someone in hotel heaven was looking down on us. Or else, they just felt bad about our last view at PH.
