It is small, comfortable and, above all, uniquely placed.

A 5,200-acre Smoky Mountains retreat of stone cottages and treehouses, built around trails, recovery and a summit restaurant in a restored fire tower.

A hotel has stood on this ridge since 1873, welcoming royalty, statesmen and film stars; Audrey Hepburn married here in 1954.

Banff · Canadian Rockies
Fairmont Banff Springs is the castle in the Rockies, one of the most famous hotels in Canada and a landmark of Banff National Park. Opened by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1888, its turreted, Scottish baronial towers rise from the forest above the meeting of the Bow and Spray rivers, with mountains on every side. It was the railway's dream of luring travellers into the wilderness; as the CPR's William Van Horne put it, "If we can't export the scenery, we will import the tourists."
Lake Louise · Canadian Rockies
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise stands on the shore of the most photographed lake in the Canadian Rockies, and few hotel views anywhere are as instantly recognisable. In front of it, the water glows an impossible turquoise; at the far end, the Victoria Glacier hangs between the peaks like a frozen waterfall. The Canadian Pacific Railway built a simple log chalet here in 1890, and over the following decades it grew into the grand, château-style hotel that now anchors one of North America's great mountain landscapes.

Bariloche · South America
Llao Llao Hotel & Resort is the most famous hotel in Argentine Patagonia, a grand timber-and-stone lodge on a hill between two glacial lakes, surrounded by forested mountains and snow-capped peaks. Designed by the architect Alejandro Bustillo and first opened in 1938, it has become a national icon, often compared to the great mountain hotels of the Alps and the Canadian Rockies, and it offers golf, a spa and some of the most beautiful views in South America.

Moraine Lake · Canadian Rockies
Moraine Lake Lodge is the only hotel on the shore of Moraine Lake, the glacier-fed jewel of Banff National Park and one of the most famous views in North America. Its brilliant blue water, set beneath the jagged wall of the Valley of the Ten Peaks, once appeared on the back of the Canadian twenty-dollar bill. Every summer day, thousands of visitors arrive by shuttle; but when the last bus leaves, the lake belongs to a few dozen lodge guests, and that is the whole point of staying here.
