Tierra Patagonia

Tierra Patagonia is one of the most striking hotels in South America, a long, curving timber building that seems to grow out of the windswept steppe on the shore of Lake Sarmiento, facing the jagged granite towers of the Paine Massif. Designed to blend into the landscape and withstand the fierce Patagonian winds, it offers all-inclusive stays with expert guiding, a spa and floor-to-ceiling views of one of the world's great mountain ranges.

Zephyr Cove Resort

Zephyr Cove Resort is a classic Lake Tahoe getaway, a cluster of rustic cabins among the pines beside one of the lake's best sandy beaches, on the Nevada shore. It began in the late nineteenth century as a simple inn for silver prospectors, and today it offers an old-fashioned, family-friendly mountain holiday, with paddle-wheeler cruises, boating and beach days in summer, and snowmobiling in winter, at a price that is rare at Tahoe.
