How to choose a hotel with a view of the sights and the city

• Check the reviews and photos. Find photos and guest comments on maps, response sites, or social media.
• Specify the floor and the location of the room. Find out if the view is blocked by tall buildings, and if all the windows overlook the sights.
• Take into account the proximity of the hotel to the necessary facilities. "Landmark view" does not always mean "close view": sometimes the city center and specific buildings are visible only in the distance.

Excellent view hotels can be selected and booked on the Accor Group website. Enter the name of the desired city, review all available options and make a reservation.
