“Chalet Etoile d’Argent is a wonderful resort on the slopes of Les Chaux in the Swiss Alps. I’m not a skiier, but love the hiking in the region in the summer! And, really, you can’t beat the view from the balcony!”

Yes, this is a photo taken from a cruise ship.  Our primary criteria for posting a photo of a room with a great view, other than the view itself, is that the experience  be replicable.  If the average traveler can have that same room and expect to have that same view, then the room qualifies.

“Okuti Camp is on the Moremi Reserve, deep in the Okavango Delta of Botswana. Rooms are huge, two bedrooms made of reeds covered in canvas and built on wooden decks. The lodge can only accommodate 12 guests at a time. Verandas of each room look out over the Delta. You can hear lots of wildlife from your room and don’t have to go far to see it. One day a leopard strolled through the middle of camp at lunchtime. Fortunately it was our lunchtime, not his.”
