1. Best virtual hotel tours
In this 21st century, many hotels around the world have now adopted the innovative 360º Virtual Tours!
This comes in handy, especially if you plan to stay in a particular hotel or just looking to explore different hotels through the panoramic views.
It takes you deep into your imaginative world and feels like you are actually in a 5-star hotel drinking your favorite coffee or just lying in bed relaxing.
I love the idea as it helps travelers decide whether what they see is what they want or where they would want to stay during their vacation. This is because you get to explore the in and out of a hotel.
You also get the chance to explore different amenities offered by the hotel, the sceneries, and other services through their virtual tours.
Here are a few hotels that offer 360º Virtual Tour;
- NH Hotel Group.
- Macdonald Hotels and Resorts.
- Trump Hotels.
- Four seasons hotel and resorts virtual tour.
