I don't have the Asian/European experiences that a lot of FTers have, but I've really loved the views at:

The Blackstone (Chicago)
W Chicago Lakeshore Drive
Gaylord National Harbor
Westin Lagunamar

If you have lounge access at the JW Shanghai, there is a staircase that you can take from the lounge up to what the hotel bills as the "highest library in the world". Once in the library, one of the bookcases actually is a secret door to a great balcony with possibly the best view of the city from any building in the city.

Few Bonvoys hotels view that I find memorable :

1. Hotel Danieli Venice - Lagoon View room
Facing Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore

2. Schloss Fuschl - Castle Suite
Facing lake Fuschl.

3. Al Maha Dubai
Large expanse of desert in front of the villa

4. JW Marriott Singapore - Marina Bay View rooms/suites
Amazing view towards downtown area and Marina Bay

5. W Holywood
Huge multilevel parking right in front of the window. Maybe suitable for car spotting enthusiasts

8th floor Ocean View at the Mauna Kea. I would happily move in permanently if I could.

I second the Budapest Marriott concierge lounge - was there on Hungary's equivalent of 4th of July last year, and it was spectacular.
My other favorite is the Le Meridien Barcelona from a high floor balcony or else the terrace outside the spa. I am biased in that Barcelona has my favorite views in the world ... was supposed to try out Cotton House this spring but had to be cancelled due to COVID.

There are some spectacular views from the suites at the Sheraton Waikiki - and from the lounge from the top floor.
