The addition of glass balustrades to some of the modern hotels has enhanced both the luxury feel and the safety aspects for their guests … who would want these amazing views to be anything but crystal clear?
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Not all balcony views need to be sun, sea and sand! Las Vegas offers an amazing night time view of one of the world’s most famous cities – with world class resorts and extravagant casinos all lit up to create an unrivalled atmosphere. In addition to this, The Hoover Dam, the Colorado River, Lake Mead, the River Mountains and the world famous Boulder City provide amazing accommodations that offer stunning views of these areas. Due to climate and safety reasons, balconies in Las Vegas tend to be less common than most tourist areas … but hotels such as the Polo Towers, Palms Place, Tropicana, Cosmopolitan, Caesars Palace and MGM Grand make use of state of the art safety features including specialised glass balustrades to provide this extra benefit for their guests.
Paris, France
If you want the ideal romantic setting, there is nothing better than a perfect view of The Eiffel Tower! Balcony views from premises like the Shangri-La Paris Hotel will leave a lasting impression on just about anyone who visits. Not many settings can rival a private terrace boasting panoramic views of the famous Eiffel Tower for you to soak in both day or night. The buildings in the area tend to favour balconies with traditional wrought iron fences rather than glass balustrades, but it’s hard to argue that this is one of the most iconic and romantic places to sit and relax.
