Your Best Photos Might Be Right Outside Your Hotel Room Window

When I travel for business, I always bring along a camera.  It might only be a point and shoot, but I always bring a camera.  I always make a habit of looking out of the hotel room window for photo opportunities and I have taken some terrific photos from the hotel window.

I’ve included several photos in this post that I’ve taken from hotel room windows along with a description of where they were taken.

It also doesn’t hurt to ask for a room with a nice view when you are checking in at the front desk.  Some places may want to charge you for a view of the ocean or like the Bellagio that will charge you for a view of the fountains.

Hotel Room Photography Tips

  • When traveling overseas, jet lagged, and waking up early, it is a good time to take sunrise photos from the hotel window.
  • I bring along a Benro travel tripod and a remote shutter release for extra stability.
  • You will need to watch the glare and your reflection in the window.  Try turning off the lights in the room and closing the curtain behind the camera.
