Luxury Hotel Videos

I realize I might have an unhealthy obsession with the subject, but does anyone else enjoy watching promotional luxury hotel videos?

Beyond simply illustrating the property and facilities, I think some of these videos do a great job of capturing a certain sense of magic associated with the hotel experience.

A couple of examples I like personally:

Does anyone else enjoy watching these?

Sure, especially Videos from guests are often very helpful. This special 2 videos are not as great in my eyes, as they doesn´t show many interesting things. Often Starwood has good wideos of their rooms on the websites. This is a good example:

You get many information about the room without unimportant pictures of staff etc.

Most hotel videos drive me crazy. The best I ever saw was by Four Seasons Florence - a whimsical day in the life of their GM.

MO's music is like having your brain wired directly into a gamelan orchestra, or it was the last time I looked.

Most are incredibly patronising.

From promotional videos, I quite like what the Taj do with their palaces.

I've started doing my own video walkthroughs but I need to polish up my video editing and filming skills

I'm a sucker for a good promotional video.

While they aren't always my favorite hotels, I think Park Hyatt does a great job at these.

The other night at the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, I found myself transfixed for almost an hour watching these on loop.

Unfortunately, that's the only one I can find right now

Another one I used to love from Four Seasons GT:

I'm afraid the Landmark Mandarin Oriental HK video gave me a headache. It made me want to avoid both the hotel and Hong Kong

I stayed in the property several years ago, it was pleasant enough.

I like the Peninsula Paris one that you posted.

I like these two for very different reasons.:

Ritz Paris
(Filmed offsite before the refurbishment was completed)

Rosewood Hotel Georgia, Vancouver

I'm planning my first trip to HK and have watched the Peninsula video about 100 times! But I settled on the Four Seasons.

I think guest videos are best, I like being able to see the rooms.
