25 Hotels With The Most Epic Views

When booking a stay, do you obsessively look for a “sea view”, “city view”, or “any type of view” room? Can windows overlooking a parking lot ruin your holiday, no matter how great a hotel is? Do you get overly excited about having breakfast on the balcony?

If yes, you might be dealing with a bit of views addiction. The bad news is I don’t know the cure. The good news is that there are 25 hotels with amazing views on this list, and you can visit them all!

25. Romantic hideaway in Zambezi

The Tongabezi Lodge is a secluded resort surrounded by lush African bush on Zambezi River guaranteed to impress even the most demanding views connoisseurs.

24. Best of Venice

The Gritti Palace is a sight to behold in itself but try not to get distracted by the interiors because the views over the Grand Canal are spectacular!

23. South African dreams

You can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of South African wilderness at Marataba Safari Lodge: unexpected game sightings from your room included.

22. If you’re going to San Francisco…

Be sure to book Mandarin Oriental for jaw-dropping views of the city, Golden Gate Bridge, and the entire beautiful San Francisco Bay.

21. The most iconic Australian view

Luxurious tents at Longitude 131 feature an all-glass wall so you can admire Uluru all day long (sunrises and sunsets are particularly recommended!).

20. Living on edge in Oman

Those high-elevation hotels, aren’t they just the best? Alila Jabal Akhdar is another proof of that.
