1. LOOK FOR SINGLE-GLASS WINDOWS

Modern hotels often have double or even triple glass windows. With them, there is a reflection from the inner pane and another reflection from the outer pane. The additional glare and internal reflections sometimes cannot be totally eliminated even with the tips below. If possible, try to avoid them.

2. CLEAN THE WINDOW

It's easy to forget, but it's worth to take time to inspect the window carefully. If necessary, wipe down a large portion of the window, not just the area in front of the lens. If you can also clean the outside, be sure to do it. However, even if some dirt remains outside, take heart that it will not show up in the image when applying tips #4 and $5. However, it will reduce contrast.

3. TIME YOUR SHOOT SO THAT THE WINDOW IS NOT LIT

When the sun strikes a window, not only it creates glare, but any defects and dirt become more visible. Try to time the shoot when the window is in the shade. If the building casts shade on parts of the window, position yourself to shoot through that part. That's just not the sun, though. Be careful that windows can be illuminated from outside at night. The darker it gets, the more problematic it is, especially with double glass windows.

4. USE A LARGE APERTURE

Shallow depth of field minimizes the effect of window glare and defects by reducing depth of field. In fact, with a wide open lens, you can even shoot through a fine grid - such as mosquito net - without it showing in the picture when it rests against the lens.

Three main things that affect the depth of field of your images are:

1.)aperture (f-stop),

2.) distance from the subject to the camera, and

3.) focal length of the lens on your camera

If you have a selfie stick, I would use that to get a better control of the distance from you and the scene.

Or if you can adust the lens that can help.

Adjust the aperature to be bigger or smaller too.

If you can edit the contrast of the image that can help too.

You may need some image editing.
