Blending seamlessly into this arresting Chilean landscape, Tierra Patagonia is a dazzling hotel on the banks of Lake Sarmiento. The snowy peak of the colossal Torres del Paine rises on the other side of the water, and the curved, low-lying two-storey structure - sustainably built and surrounded by pampa - quite rightly ensures that all eyes are always on it.
This chic vision in pale wood is effortlessly sensational at every turn: its glass-walled spa boasts an infinity pool looking out to the mountain, with an outdoor hot tub and terrace; wicker egg chairs lined with wool throws offer the ideal spot to relax after a day's exploring. WiFi is only available in public areas, while bright, minimalist bedrooms have no televisions - freestanding bathtubs and the view, again, are entertainment enough. Three suites are spread over two storeys. Local hospitality meets flawless service throughout the hotel.
