Faena Hotel And Universe

Faena Hotel And Universe

Buenos Aires’s new Faena Hotel + Universe, brainchild of Argentinean fashion designer Alan Faena, has been making some big waves, as much for the ambition of its universe-spanning concept as for its design, courtesy of a rather familiar name: Philippe Starck.Largely absent, though, is the ...
Fasano

Fasano

The sequel to the wildly successful São Paulo establishment, the Fasano in Rio De Janeiro sets its sights no less high. Like its sister, it’s as dignified and serious as a cutting-edge modern-design boutique hotel can get, all supremely confident understatement — which is all the more surprising ...
Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires

Four Seasons Hotel Buenos Aires

Some of the Four Seasons properties are contemporary, almost verging on modern in style. Not this one. The Four Seasons Buenos Aires starts with a stunning French-style mansion, and runs with it — even in the newer 13-story main building, the interiors are as Belle Epoque as you’re likely to come...
Four Seasons Resort Carmelo

Four Seasons Resort Carmelo

South Americans know it well, but the rest of us might need some introduction: Carmelo, Uruguay is on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, three hours by car (or a negligible plane flight) up the river from Buenos Aires, and not much farther from Montevideo. And the new Four Seasons Carmelo presents...
Hotel Charleston Bogota

Hotel Charleston Bogota

Consider it a “business boutique,” for lack of a better phrase. The Hotel Charleston dates back to the 1980s, which means it anticipated by some years the boutique hotel boom. And yet with its modest size (64 rooms) and its emphasis on style and design, a boutique hotel it most certainly is. ...
Hotel Del Casco

Hotel Del Casco

In the last few years in Buenos Aires, boutique hotels have been popping up left and right. Some are perfectly stylish urban havens, while others are minimalist knockoffs that miss the mark. The Hotel del Casco, steeped in genteel history, doesn’t fit into either category. The palazzo was restore...
Hotel Madero

Hotel Madero

Compared to its high-profile neighbor, the Philippe Starck-designed Faena, the Hotel Madero is downright sedate, just a humble business hotel as opposed to a “universe” and a comprehensive lifestyle program. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, and frankly the world would be a better place ...
Hotel Quadrifolio

Hotel Quadrifolio

Named for the four-leaf-clover figure that forms a common motif in Spanish Colonial Colombian architecture, the Quadrifolio is a bit of a time capsule. It’s a renovated colonial manor house on the Calle del Cuartel, in the historic walled old town of Cartagena, the port city where Colombia meets ...
Hotel Santa Teresa

Hotel Santa Teresa

Here’s an entirely new take on the familiar city of Rio de Janeiro. The gentrifying, bohemian Santa Teresa district is an exception among Rio’s most desirable neighborhoods, in that it’s high up on the hillside rather than down along the beach. This is a district full of colonial mansions and art...
Hotel Unique

Hotel Unique

We are going to try to resist commenting on Hotel Unique's name, as it should be obvious enough from the photos that it is an appropriate one. The design is inescapable — the structure is by Niemeyer protegé Ruy Ohtake (himself one of Brazil's most famous architects) and takes the form of a half-...
Inkaterra La Casona

Inkaterra La Casona

The Peruvian Andes may seem at first glance to be more a backpacker’s sort of adventure, but La Casona is an option for those who want to start the Inca Trail in high luxury style. This rehabilitated Spanish colonial manor at the heart of the old town of Cusco has joined the Inkaterra family of e...
La Merced Hotel

La Merced Hotel

Unless you’re a Spanish colonial history buff, you might not have ever given Cartagena de Indias a second thought. But thanks to a prime location on the Caribbean and a quaint, well-preserved colonial center, this port city has always been a popular escape for Colombia’s beautiful people — thanks...
La Passion Hotel

La Passion Hotel

Passion doesn’t have to declare itself loudly. La Passion, an eight-room boutique hotel in a Spanish Colonial manor house in Cartagena, Colombia, is quiet, intimate, and about as elegant as it gets — and the adults-only policy certainly doesn’t hurt. At this size, it would hardly qualify as a hot...
La Pedrera, Hotel Boutique & Spa

La Pedrera, Hotel Boutique & Spa

Though little-known to foreigners, idyllic Buzios has long been a popular warm-weather getaway destination for well-to do Cariocas. The place still feels like something like a beach village — you won’t find deluxe resorts or high-rises here — with family-owned shops and old-fashioned pousad...
La Suite

La Suite

A chip off the La Maison block, La Suite shares an owner, and a concept — a tiny and impossibly stylish luxury guest house, far enough off the main tourist drag to escape the crowds, but close enough to feel like you’re in on the action. In La Suite’s case, this means Joatinga, one of Rio’s most ...
Le Parc Hotel

Le Parc Hotel

The old-fashioned charm of Quito survives, in part, because the Ecuadorean capital remains somewhat off the tourist radar. The new Le Parc Hotel is a pioneer on the scene. Quito’s first proper boutique hotel, rising twelve stories and containing 30 executive suites, is a model of sleek urban desi...
