Magnificent Hotel Rooms With A View
Hotel de Paris – Monte Carlo
If you have some serious dosh to splurge, why not book the best view in Monte Carlo at the Hotel de Paris’ rooftop Princess Grace Suite, overlooking a fleet of superyachts moored in the glittering harbour? You only live once, after all.
Douro 41 – Porto, Portugal
We don’t always love to be beside the seaside, so plump for a river and mountains instead. The divine Douro snakes its way through wineland country, so you’ll be in fabulous oenological company.
One & Only Mandarina – Mexico
Perched on the Riviera Nayarit on the Pacific Ocean coastline, this stylish stay combines a jungle paradise with pristine white sand beaches and gin-clear waters.
Angama Mara – Kenya
A safari camp on high, your elevated position affords you remarkable views of the Maasai Mara which stretches out 300m below.
Villa Ocalm – Lurin, St Bart’s
This stunning St Bart’s retreat from onefinestay is a secret romantic retreat for couples seeking some escapism. Nestled in Lurin, enjoy panoramic views of the Bay of Saint Jean from the comfort of your king-size bed, with sparkling seas by day and stunning sunsets come evening.
The Retreat at Blue Lagoon – Iceland
There’s something surreal about the landscape that surrounds this aesthetically minimalist hotel located in the UNESCO Global Geopark in Iceland, which can be enjoyed through floor-to-ceiling windows.
Explora Journeys – Worldwide
For an ever-changing hotel room with a view, hop aboard one of Explora Journeys’ seriously impressive ships. The luxurious rooms serve stunning views through floor-to-ceiling windows, but best enjoyed from private terraces, or even wrap-around terraces with whirlpools in the highest category rooms.
Punta Tragara – Capri, Italy
Bathe in splendour at your Le Corbusier-designed boutique hotel, overlooking the iconic Faraglioni rocks of Capri just as sun sets, before heading off to one of the hotel’s two restaurant for some Mediterranean delights.
Hotel Café Royal – London
Gaze over central London’s elegant shopping district from Hotel Café Royal’s Westminster Suite, where an incongruous calm contrasts the hubbub below. It makes for perfect people watching, with soft Portland stone interiors and buckets of natural daylight to enjoy, too.
Likhir Village House at Shakti Himalaya – Kashmir
At over 3,500m high, Ladakh is often referred to as ‘Little Tibet’. Here, a village house in the Indus valley provides your snow-capped mountainous view, just one of a wonderful selection of places you’ll be staying on your seven day itinerary.
Hotel Lutetia – Paris
Nothing says romance like a view of The Eiffel Tower. Soak it up from Hotel Lutetia’s Amore Suite with its private balcony, and watch as the city lives up to its romantic reputation.
Victoria Falls Safari Lodge – Zimbabwe
When you’ve got panoramic views of Zambezi National Park, life couldn’t get much peachier, especially when some four-legged friends – elephants, buffalo, kudu and the odd lion – come for an evening drink at the watering whole.
