It is no secret around here that I am a “hotel-ista”…I love luxury hotels. When I can score a room with an amazing view, it’s even better.
Here are a few of my favorite “Rooms With a View” I have been lucky enough to stay in over the years:

At the Westin Europa and Regina in Venice, our “Canal Terrace” room had this deck directly on the Grand Canal with 180 degree views.

Our view from this “Junior Suite with View” at the The Westin Paris looked straight on to the Tuileries with the Louvre off to one side and the Eiffel tower to the other. We had a memorable evening after a long day of sightseeing, enjoying wine, cheese and French pastries while watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle in the distance. Another time we watched the finish of the Tour de France from our balcony!

At the Bellagio in Las Vegas, they upgraded our room to a “Cypress Suite” with this view from the bed!
 |
This picture of a Spa Suite at Las Ventanas al Paraiso pretty much says it all…

The corner Oceanfront Suites at the The Ritz Carlton Cancun have views straight out to the ocean and also over the pool. Request a room on the 7th or 8th floor which have floor to ceiling windows and views that go on for miles.
Recently, we stayed at the Four Seasons St. Louis…this was our view in a “Premium Arch View” room which looked straight out to the St. Louis Gateway Arch. This picture honestly doesn’t do it justice – it felt like you could reach out and touch the Arch from the room.
And, here are a few more hotels offering stunning views where I dream of staying someday:

How about a view of Lake Como at this Junior Suite at Villa D’Este?

Or, this vista from a Junior Suite at Canaves Oia on Santorini?
Views over Central Park in New York from this “Deluxe Park View” room at the Ritz Carlton Central Park are spectacular.

How gorgeous is the view from this “Moon Infinity Pool” room at Jade Mountain in St. Lucia?

This view from the Australia Suite at the Intercontinental Sydney is unbelievable.
Where is your favorite “room with a view”?
Any room with a view of the water is FOR ME! Good morning Sandy! Anita
Now, this is difficult! I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. They are all special in their own ways. When the Bellagio 1st opened we would stay in one of their suites overlooking the fountains, play the music through the room's speakers as we watched the dancing waters. It never failed to amaze me.
WOW! So many beauties!! Love The Lake Como shot (have not been) have been to the RC in Cancun and loved it and in my humble opinion there is simply no bad view in Paris!!!!!! Even the rooftops are speatacular:)
One of my all time faves was either at the Four Seasons in Maui (heaven on earth) or Four Seasons in Punta Mita Mexico and then there was the vineyard view of Napa Valley……ahh such good memories. I need a vacation!
Love ALL these views!! and would enjoy a stay at any of these beautiful resorts. Paris.. always a lovely view ~ or anything ocean front!

Clearly you are going into the right field, with all your travel expertise!!!
Do you think we could add Venice into a Florence/Room trip?!!! It's time to start planning!!!
You'll also have to share your secrets for getting such spectacular rooms!!

I love this post. Believe it or not, our amazing 'view' was when we were upgraded to the Presidential Suite in the Marriott Hotel in Newport, RI. It overlooks all of the ocean and coastline. The room was so nice I did not want to leave and explore anything.
Sandy, these rooms are all fabulous. Of course my two favorites are Paris and Venice!
I love a room with a view!
I hope that you are having a great week.
Staying in a luxury hotel is always a treat and I agree – a gorgeous view is certainly a bonus. A lovely varied selection here and I especially like the Lake Como view.
