Waking up at this hotel is probably the best part of staying here because you\u2019re amongst a privileged few who can be in this spectacular setting before the tour buses begin to arrive. Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge is located steps from the entrance gate to the Machu Picchu ruins. The famous Inca trail is also at its doorstep.\u00a0Rooms are essentially the same, and all have a pleasant view of mountains or gardens, but guests pay a hefty premium for the dozen rooms with the coveted panoramic Andes views from outdoor terraces. Although the location is remote, service here ranks among the best in the country. Rates include all meals and bookings far in advance are recommended. The property is frequently sold out from May through September.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Fasano Rio de Janeiro is undoubtingly the best hotel in the Ipanema area of Rio. Famed designer Philippe Starck is responsible for the design and although it may not appeal to all tastes it is certainly unique.\u00a0In his first hotel architecture project, Philippe Starck chose to reflect the heyday of the Bossa Nova era in the 50\u2019s and 60\u2018s, when Ipanema blossomed into the city\u2019s most charming neighborhood.\u00a0An ocean front room (they all have furnished balconies) are well worth the extra you will pay. Even these are not large but do have spectacular views of Ipanema beach and “two brothers” mountain. It’s from the privacy of these rooms that you can also view the largest concentration of beautiful bodies in the world passing by 24\/7. Located on the 8th floor, the chic rooftop infinity pool offers an unparalleled view of world-famous\u00a0Ipanema beach from an angle that captures Arpoador, the Morro Dois Irm\u00e3os and the Corcovado.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The legendary five-star hotel Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires is breathtaking inside and out, and the finest hotel in Buenos Aires. The hotel perfectly blends the 1930\u2019s charm of the French Palacio Duhau with contemporary design, d\u00e9cor, and modern day comfort and amenities. Much of the hotel overlooks beautiful gardens that are like a secret green oasis in the centre of bustling Buenos Aires. The artistic nature of this city is reflected throughout the hotel and its guestrooms with works of art adorning many of the walls and the hotel even boasts its own art gallery for you to while away the hours. Offering standard and deluxe rooms or suites, outstanding restaurants, the atmospheric Oak Bar, the luxury Ah\u00edn Wellness & Spa as well as an art gallery, pool, Tango classes and fitness studio, there is very little you are left wanting for.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Tierra Patagonia is a friendly, welcoming hotel with a sublime location in the uttermost south of Chile. Tierra Patagonia is surrounded by nature, in splendid isolation, overlooking lake Sarmiento and the towering peaks of Torres del Paine National Park which was named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978. Interior architects Alexandra Edwards and Carolina diPlano aimed to bring the outside in at the Tierra Patagonia Hotel & Spa, with interiors radiating an ambiance of Patagonian warmth and comfort. Large windows provide the same excellent mountain and lake views from shared spaces as well as from the 37 double rooms and 3 suites, which envelop guests in warmth amidst the wilderness. A distinctive feature of the hotel is the Uma Spa, a relaxing space that offers steam baths, sauna, heated indoor pool, hydro massage, outdoor Jacuzzi and locker rooms with lush towels and robes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kenoa – Exclusive Beach Spa & Resort is located in Barra de Sao Miguel, one of the most tranquil and beautiful locations on Brazil\u2019s northeast coast. Merely 9 degrees south of the equator, the region is privileged with a single season year-round and presents a tropical climate and a sea water temperature that is invariably pleasant \u2013 indeed, summer all year round.\u00a0Embraced on the north by the resplendent panorama of miles of virgin Atlantic outback and on the east by the turquoise enchantment of the open sea,\u00a0Kenoa Resort\u00a0is as wondrous as it is very private, a place where luxury is defined by its earth-given beauty.\u00a0Interconnection with nature is also present in the 23 accommodations, including suites and villas. The suites offer a traditional Japanese ofuro on their balcony and the villas also offer a private, infinity-edged border heated pool and an external deck.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The only hotel located within Brazil\u2019s Iguassu National Park, Belmond Hotel das Cataratas enjoys an unrivalled location in the jungle, just a short stroll from Iguazu Falls, one of the\u00a0world\u2019s most spectacular waterfalls<\/a>. Due to its location, guests have\u00a0exclusive access to the magnificent surroundings\u00a0in the evening and at dawn, when the park is closed to other visitors.\u00a0A Portuguese-colonial residence, this classic luxury hotel is redolent with the atmosphere of lazy days lounging on a veranda or beneath sub-tropical palms.\u00a0Rooms have been meticulously renovated by the designer responsible for the d\u00e9cor of its famous sister hotel, the Copacabana Palace in Rio. The hotel offers thrills and excitement in abundance: helicopter trips over the falls and jungle treks to view amazing wildlife including colourful toucans and giant butterflies.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Located in a national park in the\u00a0Argentine Patagonia,\u00a0Llao Llao\u00a0is perched on a small hill between lakes Nahuel Huapi and Moreno, framed by lakes, woods and the Andean peaks. This magnificent hotel is considered an architectural masterpiece for its setting, design and the harmonic integration with its natural surroundings.\u00a0It was built by architect Alejandro Bustillo in 1938 and fully renewed in 2003. A Canadian-style building with Norman roof tiles and visible cypress logs blending with the region\u2019s green stone, the\u00a0Llao Llao Hotel & Resort, Golf – Spa\u00a0is an attraction that should not be missed when visiting\u00a0Argentina. The\u00a0168 double rooms, 32 suites and 1 cabin enjoy spectacular views of\u00a0Moreno Lake\u00a0and\u00a0Mt. Tronador\u00a0among them. The hotel also features an indoor\/outdoor heated infinity swimming pool, a whirlpool, sauna facilities, a spa, and a Health Club & Fitness center.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Tierra Atacama is a boutique hotel on the edge of San Pedro de Atacama in the world-famous Atacama Desert in northern Chile.\u00a0Tierra Atacama\u2019s architecture, interior design and gardens were designed by some of Chile\u2019s leading creative talent.\u00a0Tierra Atacama’s objectives were to be as authentic as possible, using furniture and accessories handmade with local materials. The resulting spaces excite, relax and inspire guests.\u00a0The hotel has 32 rooms styled with Atacame\u00f1an details. 16 \u201cOriente\u201d rooms have terraces with volcano views as well as bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers. 14 \u201cPoniente\u201d rooms have bathrooms with bathtubs and showers as well as terraces with views of the gardens and Salt Mountains. Two family rooms sleep up to six with one master bedroom and two rooms with two twin beds and their own bathrooms. The hotel has many private corners, so guests can seat by one of the terrace fire pits, lounge next to the pool or relax on one of the shady outdoor decks.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Located on a private peninsula near Florianopolis on Brazil’s south coast, Ponta dos Ganchos is South America’s most exclusive beach resort. A ridge of Atlantic rainforest runs down to the water, where three tiny islands horseshoe around a sandy bay.\u00a0A thatched restaurant idles ten feet from the beach, but paddle across to one of the islands and you find a bar that\u2019s illuminated by torches at night. You are in the middle of nowhere here, and Ponta dos Ganchos delivers the dream: idyllic landscapes of emerald sea and forest, contemporary interiors in 20 beautiful cabanas (some with private plunge pools, saunas and jacuzzis) and service that\u2019s second to none (all meals, including breakfast, are served at any hour of the day).\u00a0 Follow the coast round on either side and you come to tiny fishing villages, but most stay put and bask in luxury. There\u2019s an indoor pool, tennis and volleyball, even a private cinema. Snorkeling, diving (including tuition), canoeing, sailing and boat trips are also on offer.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Explora Patagonia is located at the center of the Torres del Paine National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.\u00a0The hotel opened in 1993 on the banks of the Salto Chico waterfall. It affords an excellent view of the unique Paine Massif and two of the three impressive torres, or towers, which give the park its name.\u00a0Situated on a 3-hectare (7.4-acre) site, the design borrows certain organic forms from the landscape itself, adapting to it with simple elegance The 37 Cordillera Paine Room and the 6 Exploradores Suite all have breathtaking views of the Paine Massif and horns.\u00a0The recreational\u00a0area is located a short distance from the main building, connected\u00a0by a sloped wood path, and it is equipped with a heated, covered pool, sauna, and four open-air\u00a0jacuzzis with spectacular views.
