A room with a view is always preferred. For your next getaway, pick a hotel that can really deliver on the private outside space.

 

The Chatwal

At The Chatwal, book the Producer Suite for amazing views of the Manhattan skyline and West 44th Street. The penthouse suite offers a spiral staircase leading to a roof deck, outfitted with chic furnishings. If you can manage to snag it, you can even book this room for New Year’s Eve, and watch the ball drop with only your best friends in attendance.

 

The Lowell Hotel

If you want the New York City views, but in a more residential-style setting, the Garden Suite at The Lowell Hotel might be exactly what you’re looking for. The suite was designed by Michael Smith (he worked on the Obama White House, if you’re not familiar) and features its own kitchen, living room with a wood-burning fireplace and two huge terraces. One has its own fountain and a dining area, while the other is more cozy and perfect for solitary reflections.

 

La Réserve Paris Apartments

La Réserve Paris Apartments are 10 private spaces, many with outdoor terraces that not only give you great views for people-watching, but also provide awesome views of the Eiffel Tower. If it’s a jealousy-inducing trip to Paris you’re after, this is the space you have to book.

 

Belmond Villa Sant’Andrea

Three new suites at this Sicilian property overlook the sea. Everything about the suites reflects the local craftsmanship and natural beauty, from the stone floors created using local materials to the copper bathtubs and Italian artwork.
