Given that we partner with universities nationwide from the reaches of\u00a0Hawai’i<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0New York<\/a>\u00a0and everywhere in between, you can imagine our staff jet off to campuses quite often.<\/p>\n

In reading a recent\u00a0USA Today\u00a0<\/em>article<\/a>, we couldn’t help but connect with the headline: “Room with a view makes trip worthwhile.” Whether we’re in San Diego wanting to enjoy the coast or yearning to see the leaves changing colors during fall in Blacksburg, Va., we appreciate views of the outdoors. Truly, when traveling, a scenic panorama from a hotel room helps immensely in relaxation after a long work day.<\/p>\n

Eleanor<\/a>\u00a0from our team shares a few of her favorite hotels with a view from past travels: <\/em><\/p>\n

Hilton Waikiki Beach in Honolulu<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>
\nThanks to flight schedules, it’s almost inevitable to incur an overnight stay in Honolulu en route to the University of Hawai’i-Hilo on the Big Island. However, that overnight affords me the chance to stay at the\u00a0Hilton Waikiki Beach<\/a>\u00a0situated in the heart of Honolulu. With views to the famous Duke Statue and east toward Diamond Head, I can’t say that an afternoon of emails on my\u00a0Mac\u00a0<\/a>is such a miserable thing!<\/p>\n

Westin Bayshore in Vancouver<\/strong>\"\"<\/a>
\nWhile attending the\u00a0NAFSA annual conference<\/a>\u00a0this past May in Vancouver, I couldn’t believe my luck in securing a discounted conference room rate for the waterfront\u00a0Westin Bayshore<\/a>. Situated right on Coal Harbour, the Westin offers views of Stanley Park, the mountains and incoming landing seaplanes. My favorite view was of the seaplanes flying just outside my balcony, sweeping in low for their water landing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Crowne Plaza in Auckland<\/strong>
\nPassing through Auckland back in September with co-worker\u00a0Sara<\/a>\u00a0couldn’t have been more of a blast. Our room at the\u00a0Crowne Plaza Auckland<\/a>\u00a0provided a direct view of the Sky Tower. The Sky Tower is to Auckland what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, so having an unobstructed view of this iconic tower was simply amazing.<\/p>\n
