Hotels With a View

Put down your phone and gaze at some real-life screensavers: we've got crashing waves, exotic wildlife, and colour-changing sunsets. A stunning view is coffee for the soul, and we've found the world's finest. Each property has been personally assessed by our editors against a single test — does the view earn the trip on its own? These hotels, designed to make the most of their surroundings, are perched beside some of the earth's most spectacular land- and sea-scapes. Their very location is enough to make your trip truly memorable, but of course we've verified them for exceptional service and facilities too. The view is half the reason to book. The other half is everything we do for every property on this list.
