Hotel room views

[By Marcia Milner-Brage in cities in the United States and Portugal]
 When traveling, I more often stay in houses that are vacation rentals. But when I do book a hotel room, I ask for a high up room with a view. When checking in, I repeat the request. My explanation that I plan to sketch the view is usually met with a cordial nod.

The Staybridge Suites is a five-story hotel in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. We were recently in town for the Iowa State Fair. I’d requested the top floor with a view. But the only room available upon check-in was on the fourth, looking out on the concrete wall of a parking garage. If I pressed myself close to the window of our room and craned my neck, I could see a patch of sky in the west and the tops of adjoining, taller buildings. Above in my iPad.


But the floor to ceiling window at the end of the hallway, looking east, at the Staybridge in Des Moines had a fabulous view of the gold-domed Iowa Statehouse. The problem here was the people staying in the guestroom that I stood next to were having a lively family gathering with lots of coming and going. Nobody complained, but it was awkward. I felt that I was an intrusion. I rushed to get something down in my iPad.


This July we stayed at the Minneapolis Downtown Hyatt Regency. I was awarded a room looking northeast from the 23rd floor (above drawing in a Moleskine watercolor sketchbook with water soluble graphite). We were visiting a friend who lives in a nearby suburb. Drawing was a sideshow. But I had chosen this place for our two night stay for it’s locale on the Nicollet Mall among high rises and for the chance to see a great distance. As a bonus, I got a bird's-eye view of the Minnesota Twins baseball stadium (left above).



Then there was the time that staying in a tall hotel with a view was not in the plan, but presented via circumstance. In June 2012, flying home to Iowa going through Chicago O’Hare Airport late at night, our connecting flight into Waterloo was cancelled. The next flight wasn’t until the next afternoon. We were put up in an airport hotel on a high floor, looking south southeast towards the distant lights of downtown Chicago that glimmered across a large darkness which I later learned was Chevalier Woods, part of an expansive forest preserve east of the airport.

So intrigued by the nighttime view, I awoke at dawn to see what the gaining light would reveal: the Chicago skyline beyond a sea of green. (wax pastel on tinted paper)


Everything about Las Vegas is sensory overload, including our view from the 36th floor. We stayed one night at the Vdara Hotel and Spa on our way back from Death Valley, March 2016. This was also done at dawn, though time of day or night is irrelevant in Las Vegas. The density of ever-flashing, razzle-dazzle neon obliterates most natural light.

Porto, view from Douro Guest House

Some hotels are not that tall, but the view is glorious. In Porto in 2011, from the fourth floor of the Duoro Guest House balcony, room 402, the view across the Duoro River was unforgettable. I drew in the guest house guestbook, leaving behind the only record of this memory. As I checked out, I fortunately remembered to snap it with my digital camera (it was before I carried a cellphone that took photos!).

These are but a few of the drawings I've done from hotel rooms over the years.
