Eric Stoen of Travel Babbo<\/a> has traveled to more 80 countries and stayed in a lot of hotels. We asked him which hotels had views so amazing that he would book a return trip just to gaze out again. Here are his 25 favorites from six continents. <\/em><\/p>\n

Prague, Czechia: The Aria Hotel<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Our room at Aria Hotel Prague<\/a> looked out on the Vtrba Garden. Stunning!<\/p><\/div>\n

Tanzania: Serengeti Pioneer Camp<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Sunrise from the Serengeti Pioneer Camp<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Bangkok, Thailand: The Peninsula<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

The view from practically every room at the Peninsula Bangkok<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Maldives: Six Senses Laamu<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Relaxing on the deck of our overwater villa at Six Senses Laamu<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Barcelona, Spain: Hotel DO Pla\u00e7a Reial<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

My balcony at the Hotel DO Pla\u00e7a Reial<\/a>. The square comes alive at night.<\/p><\/div>\n

Punta Islita, Costa Rica: Hotel Punta Islita<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Sunset from Costa Rica’s Hotel Punta Islita<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Basha, Guizhou, China: Gufengzhai Guest House<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

From our room at the Gufengzhai Guest House in Basha. You pretty much need to walk in to book it, or work through a tour operator.<\/p><\/div>\n

Venice, Italy: Hotel Al Ponte Antico<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice from Hotel Al Ponte Antico<\/a>. The Rialto Bridge is right behind you.<\/p><\/div>\n

San Francisco, California: Loews Regency San Francisco<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Sunrise from the Loews Regency San Francisco<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada: Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

From our room at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise<\/a>. Definitely opt for the lake view!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia: Chedi Club Tanah Gajah<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Looking out at Mount Batur from our villa’s plunge pool at Chedi Club Tanah Gajah<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Oia, Santorini, Greece: Golden Sunset Villas<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

We’ve stayed at three different places in and near Oia<\/a>, all with amazing views. The view from our room at Golden Sunset Villas was just a little better than the others – take the standard sunset view and add a church and a windmill!<\/p><\/div>\n

El Nido, Palawan, Philippines: Miniloc Island Resort<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Sunrise from our bungalow at Miniloc Island Resort<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Atacama Desert, Chile: Tierra Atacama<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

I absolutely loved afternoons by the pool at Tierra Atacama<\/a>, watching the setting sun light up the Licancabur volcano and the Andes<\/p><\/div>\n

New York, New York: Hotel Giraffe<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

In New York it’s easy to end up with a view of an alley or the side of another building just feet away, so I always appreciate when I have a view. I have a couple of favorites along Park Avenue, but Hotel Giraffe<\/a> gets the nod because of the balconies.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bora Bora, French Polynesia: Four Seasons Bora Bora<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

The view is gorgeous from everywhere at Four Seasons Bora Bora<\/a>, but it’s worth paying a little extra for a view of Mount Otemanu<\/p><\/div>\n

Cartagena, Colombia: Casa Pestagua<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

We loved the view from the rooftop pool at Cartagena’s Casa Pestagua<\/a>, right in the middle of the old town. From the other direction you’re looking out over the Caribbean.<\/p><\/div>\n

Mumbai, India: Taj Mahal Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Looking out at the Gateway of India from my room at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace<\/a>. Choose a sea view!<\/p><\/div>\n

Paris, France: Cler Hotel<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Wherever you stay in Paris, ask for a view of the Eiffel Tower! This is from our room at the Cler Hotel on Rue Cler<\/a> in the 7th arrondissement.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sydney, Australia: Shangri-La Hotel Sydney<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

I love looking out at Sydney’s Harbour Bridge and Opera House. This is from our room at the Shangri-La Hotel Sydney<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n

Patagonia, Chile: Tierra Patagonia<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

Every room at Tierra Patagonia<\/a> overlooks Torres del Paine, as do the restaurant (on the left) and this open-air seating area<\/p><\/div>\n

Florence, Italy: Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

We’ve stayed at Florence’s Antica Torre di Via Tornabuoni 1<\/a> six times now for the location, the rooms and the views of the Duomo in one direction and the Arno and Ponte Vecchio (pictured) in the other direction<\/p><\/div>\n

Orlando, Florida: Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

You can see Disney’s parks from the Four Seasons Orlando<\/a>, and the nightly fireworks display at Walt Disney World, but the view is primarily of nature – a nice escape after a day at theme parks!<\/p><\/div>\n

Muscat, Oman: Al Bustan Palace<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

The view is excellent in all directions at the Al Bustan Palace<\/a>. Go for a sea view though!<\/p><\/div>\n

Belize: Blancaneaux Lodge<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Best

We checked in to Blancaneaux Lodge<\/a> late at night and could hear flowing water, but had no idea how amazing the tree-top view was until the next morning!<\/p><\/div>\n

How about you? What’s your favorite hotel view? I’m always looking for inspiration for future trips!<\/p>\n
