Amazing architecture
The world is full of amazing architecture, but sometimes we forget to look up and admire the result of someone’s style and vision.
Staying in a uniquely-styled modern building or perhaps a wonderful historic hotel can be both great fun and add the 'wow' factor to your holiday for a few nights.
Staying at the Raas is a fantastic experience. The contemporary rooms offer space and privacy and blend the old style of this former family residence with modern design features. This is an oasis right in the heart of the old city with spectacular views of Mehrangarh.

Remota in Patagonia, Chile
Inspired by the traditional sheep shearing sheds of Patagonia, Remota is a striking piece of architecture set on the Last Hope Sound just outside Puerto Natales.
Perhaps at first glance it might seem rather unexciting, but in our experience, guests love it once they stay. And the food here: wow!
It's a great place from which to explore Chile's Patagonia, including Torres del Paine.
