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