The Leading Standard for Exceptional Views.

The view from a hotel room, rooftop, or public space is among the most powerful factors influencing a guest's booking decision. In a world where travelers seek unique and visually stunning experiences, exceptional views have become a critical differentiator. According to industry studies, hotels with breathtaking views can charge up to 30% more than those without, and 80% of travelers are willing to pay a premium for rooms with exceptional views.

In the digital era of travel, where Instagram-worthy moments and breathtaking landscapes dominate social media and online reviews, a hotel's view is not just an amenity—it is a powerful marketing asset. A perfect view increases a property's desirability, drives higher occupancy rates, and justifies premium pricing. Hotels with certified views stand out in online travel agencies, receive greater engagement in marketing campaigns, and benefit from word-of-mouth promotion by guests who experience unforgettable scenery.

Certification by The Most Perfect View provides numerous tangible benefits for hotels:

• Increased Credibility → Third-party certification reassures travelers that the hotel's view is as exceptional as advertised

• Competitive Advantage → Certified hotels gain a distinct edge over competitors without a verified view rating

• Higher Guest Satisfaction → Guests arrive with accurate expectations, reducing the risk of disappointment

• PR & Media Opportunities → Certification offers hotels a unique promotional angle, helping them secure press coverage and marketing exposure

• Marketing Exposure → Certified hotels receive a digital certification badge and a dedicated certification page on The Most Perfect View's site, enhancing online visibility

• Revenue Growth → A stunning certified view justifies premium rates and boosts bookings

The certification program evaluates and recognizes hotels that offer exceptional scenic views. Using a comprehensive 100-point scoring system, assessors evaluate various aspects of a property's views and award certification based on objective criteria that guests value most. This eliminates ambiguity, giving prospective guests a trusted benchmark when choosing accommodations.

The comprehensive evaluation examines six key categories:

1. Step Inside - Evaluates the hotel's overall quality based on objective criteria and guest reviews

2. View Quality (HAVDS) - A scientific calculation to determine the strength of views from the hotel based on verified View Desirability Scores (VDS), distance, visibility, and perspective

3. Private Areas - Assesses the quality and availability of scenic views from guest rooms and suites, factoring in prevalence, window size, balconies, and other enhancers

4. Public Areas - Measures the viewing experience from shared hotel spaces, including restaurants, rooftop bars, pools, gyms, spas, and lounges, considering accessibility, availability, and special features

5. View Relevance - Rewards hotels for additional elements that enhance the visual experience, such as high-altitude positioning, nighttime view appeal, extraordinary or immersive “view experiences,” and more.

6. Disclosure (8 points) - Transparent communication about scenic offerings

Assessors use the Hotel Adjusted VDS Score (HAVDS), which considers:

• The scenic value of visible landmarks/features

• Distance from the property to those features

• Visibility factors (Full View, Partial View, or Glimpse View)

• Perspective angles (Front View, Side View, etc.)

• The proportion of rooms with desirable views

• Other factors

Natural landscapes, cityscapes, harbors, and even carefully designed gardens can all earn high certification scores. The system rewards quality and uniqueness, not just famous landmarks. Properties with extraordinary sunset views, unique geological formations, or pristine wilderness vistas often score exceptionally well.

To begin the process, properties need to provide:

• Property floor data and room distribution details

• Information about percentage of rooms with views, as well as additional attributes

• Details of public areas with views

• High-quality photos of the best viewing locations

• Any existing guest feedback specifically mentioning views
