A month ago I posed “Pushing Lowlight-Photography\nLimits: The Atta Terrace Hotel at Night<\/a>,” evening shots from the hotel\nwe stayed in during a short trip to Okinawa<\/a>\nduring the New Years break. Today, I thought<\/span> I'd post some day shots as\nwell.<\/p>\n\n

The hotel, The Atta\nTerrace Club Towers<\/a>, does not allow children (at least not in the\ncommon areas), and it's sort of out of the way, so it's quite peaceful.<\/p>\n\n

The room with the bath also has a glass<\/span>-enclosed shower, two vanities\n(one on either side of the door), two closets, and a separate<\/span> room for a\ntoilet.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The room is not nearly as luxurious as the “Deluxe Executive Suit” at the\nFour Seasons in Whistler, BC, Canada<\/a> that we got to stay in during the\nsummer, but that's like saying a big<\/span> lump of gold is not as nice as a\nbigger<\/span> lump of gold. The Four Seasons<\/span> was not gaudy at all, but the Atta\nTerrace is even more understated, which makes it (to me) even more elegant\nand pleasant. Compare, for example, the lobby seen in the first picture\nwith the lobby of\nthe Four Seasons<\/a>. Both are wonderful, of course, and both are well suited\nto their respective climates.<\/p>\n\n

The windows of our room that faced the rest of the hotel complex did not\nopen, but the windows of the elevator lobby just outside the room did, so\nhere are the views looking that way, day and night...<\/p>\n\n\n
