For some, it’s a silk sheeted emperor bed, for others a Lichtenstein painting in the lobby, or edible gold flakes on fancy restaurant entrées. But for me, what makes a hotel truly memorable has nothing to do with what actually goes on inside. You can wave ergonomic pillows and fancy toiletries my way, but I will not be distracted, oh no! I’ve got my eyes fixed firmly out the window.
For me, it’s the view from a hotel that can make or break a holiday. We all know that sinking feeling that descends when you check into your room only to find that the window overlooks the wheelie bins in the car park out the back. A knockout view, on the other hand, can bring unadulterated joy, allowing us to feel as if we’re exploring a destination without having to step out of our room.
