These hotels offer breathtaking views

Nothing beats a room with a view when you’re travelling.

After a long day of sightseeing, being able to gaze out at something truly spectacular could really elevate the hotel from a decent place to sleep to a highlight in its own right.

We all have different criteria for what we look for in a hotel: privacy, a convenient location, price, a comfortable bed, and how many fancy freebies you’ll receive. There’s a good reason why a beautiful window view takes precedence over all of these.

Immersion in nature has been shown to reduce stress, increase energy, and boost creativity – and even just looking at it can have these benefits.

Lakes, mountains, and villages can also make you feel healthier, but cityscapes can evoke feelings of ‘pride or awe that we as humans are able to create such enormous structures,’ according to Michael Forster of the University of Vienna.

Sold? The next step is to decide where to go.

#1 Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

This list includes two Asian hotels. The first is Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands.

If you want to enjoy the views here, you’ll have to pay for it: rooms range in price from $350 to several thousand dollars.

With three 55-story skyscrapers, this hotel is famous for changing Singapore’s skyline.

As if that weren’t enough, it also has the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, 20 dining options, and a casino.

For that price, you’d spend a lot of time admiring the stunning cityscape views from the pool.

#2 Rome Cavalieri, Italy

Three hotels from Europe make the list and round out the top three. The first is the Rome Cavalieri in Italy, which has been described as having “breathtaking” views.

It’s located on Rome’s highest point, right next to Vatican City. Living in the city.

The rooms have panoramic views of the Eternal City and St. Peter’s Dome, and the hotel is set in a 15-acre Mediterranean park.

#3 Sandals Regency La Toc, Saint Lucia

Want to relax in a tropical paradise with your significant other? The Sandals Regency La Toc in Saint Lucia is up next.

If screaming kids aren’t your thing, this deluxe resort is for you. This estate spans half a mile of crescent-shaped beach and measures a whopping 220 acres.

However, according to reviews, only some rooms have a view.

#4 Hilton Budapest, Hungary

This upscale hotel on a hill in the Castle District was once a 13th-century church.

#5 Tulemar Bungalows & Villas in Costa Rica

#6 Fairmont Chateau, Lake Louise, Canada

Prefer to be in nature? Travel to Lake Louise, Canada, and stay at the Fairmont Chateau. Nothing says UNESCO World Heritage Site like Lake Louise’s emerald waters and the towering Rocky Mountains that surround it.

This hotel is literally in the middle of Alberta’s Banff National Park, and it is incredible.

Rooms and prices

#7 Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Golf and Spa Resort, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

This family-friendly all-inclusive luxury resort isn’t for everyone, but it’s nestled on a private beach with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean, so you might be able to overlook the golf resort aspect.

One reviewer raved about being able to watch whales play off the shore near the resort, while ‘the flowers and trees are beautiful, especially the hibiscus!’

It also has a very well-rated spa.

Rooms and prices

#8 Amari Phuket, Thailand

The next resort on the list is Amari Phuket in Thailand, which is a private beach resort (there’s a theme here).

This one is perched on a hill, providing stunning views of Patong Beach and the sparkling sea beyond, into which you can snorkle if you so desire.

Rooms and prices

#9 Hotel Croatia, Cavtat, Croatia

This magnificent five-star resort rises from the coastal pine forest off the Adriatic coast.

The waterfront hotel offers stunning views of Cavtat Bay on one side and the sparkling lights of medieval Dubrovnik just across the water on the other.

Rooms and prices

#10 Wynn, Las Vegas, USA

This five-star North American resort is a far cry from the idyllic private beach vibes, as it is surrounded by the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip.

It also serves as a casino (obviously), as well as fine dining and a spa.

There’s also more greenery outside the hotel than you might expect.
