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.

Although there is technically a parking lot in view, this shot of Richmond's skyline from room 606 of the Jefferson Hotel is still killer. We wonder how much this view has changed since the hotel opened in 1895.

One of the only hotels to grab the AAA 5 diamond rating, pretty much anywhere you look in this hotel provides a killer view. So if you're stuck in Richmond, the tobacco capital might look better from up above.

Pooch Friendly at the Jefferson

If you're a dog person, and many of you are, then you appreciate a hotel who treats your dog, just like you, as the guest.

The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia is just that hotel. A historic southern hotel- it opened in 1895 - is complete with a grand center staircase said to be the model for the famous one in Gone with the Wind.

Back to the dogs...upon arrival the front desk at The Jefferson offers you and your pup a tin of gourmet doggie "cookies" and immediately inquires whether a doggie bed will be needed. Woof! That makes a happy dog-owner.
