Abracadabra Pousada

For a new spin on a classic destination it’s never a bad idea to find out where your favorite spot’s residents take themselves on holiday. In the case of Rio, that destination is Búzios, a fishing village turned beachside getaway two hours’ drive to the east, a place where rather than towering fi...

Aldebaran Hotel & Spa

Thanks to the influx of Austrian, German, and Swiss settlers to Argentinian Patagonia at the turn of the century, the lake region’s architecture tends toward chalet-style lodges and wooden cottages. Certain areas of Bariloche, complete with tourist-friendly German shepherd puppies and decorative ...

Algodon Wine Estates

Algodon Wine Estates, in the Argentinean province of Mendoza, brings together two of the favorite pastimes of civilized gentlemen (and ladies): fine wine and golf. Those with a predilection for spending half a day swinging clubs and putting on the green, and the other half swirling and sipping gl...

Alvear Palace Hotel

Truly, this is the high-society heart of Buenos Aires. Each of the pale-veined stones of its ornate, Beaux Arts facade was shipped from Paris. Outside lingers the unmistakable Buenos Aires scent. Teardrop chandeliers beckon from cathedral ceilings, floors gleam black and white, and Persian rugs a...

Atacamadventure

The Atacama of northern Chile is one of the most sublimely bleak and stunning landscapes on this planet and possibly others — if they were making a movie about Mars they could do worse than this vast red desert. The inhospitability of the place demands an extra measure of luxury from its lodgings...

Buenos Aires Ce, Design Hotel

Argentina’s economy, after famously melting down at the turn of this century, seems to have rebounded handsomely, at least if the spate of recent hotel openings is any indication — forget about inflation or GDP, the Boutique Hotel Index is the only measure that matters to us. Suddenly it seems th...

Cavas Wine Lodge

With Argentina’s wine industry booming as it is, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing some high-quality vineyard hotels. Argentina’s answer to the wine regions of Northern California or rural France is the province of Mendoza, and it’s here, some twenty miles so...

Club Tapiz

Foreigners curious about South America have been making the pilgrimage to Buenos Aires for years, but the wine capital of Mendoza is now emerging as an equally popular destination. The air is dry, the grapes are flourishing, the Andes rise dramatically at the city’s edge, and the accommodations g...

Copacabana Palace

Some of the exotic thrill about Rio de Janeiro may have worn off since its heyday—with the proliferation of budget jet travel, there’s nowhere truly exotic anymore, and major cities like Rio are near commonplace. That’s no reflection on this hotel, though: the Copacabana Palace is still...

Craft Hotel

Everyday in Buenos Aires, the cafés fill up early, the dog-walkers wrangle a dozen barking canines through the park, and another boutique hotel opens its doors to the public. All are stylish, and every manager is eager to please — so what sets one of these establishments apart from the ever-incre...

Emiliano

We can’t possibly say enough about this hotel, except possibly that if you’re a design and architecture junkie, and you’re not left speechless, then we don’t know you. Even from the street, Emiliano is an imposing presence, a narrow glass tower, gleaming amidst the high-rises of the fashionable J...

Eolo

For the adventurous there are plenty of good reasons to trek all the way down to the southernmost reaches of South America, but here’s one more: the stunning three-mile-long Perito Moreno glacier. Countless hotels have sprung up in the town of El Calafate to accommodate the stream of foreigners e...
