An interesting post came through my twitter feed a few weeks ago.
It was a CNN News article, which describes a photo project by a photographer called Roger Eberhard.
He has taken pictures showing the view in and beyond hotel rooms. It shows the remarkable similarity of hotels around the world, and is a comment on the impact of globalisation.
The result of the project is a book called 'Standard'.
It occurred to me that I know quite a few Geographers who have travelled to cities around the world, and have visited hotels in numerous world cities, and that perhaps we could have our own mini crowd-sourced project. With summer underway there may also be some other opportunities for people to take part...
Here's a few of mine to get you started.... Who else has hotel room views of note?
Here we have views from hotels in Iasi, in Romania, and Geneva in Switzerland.
