From $1.3K per person/night
An architectural marvel framed by the awe-inspiring Torres del Paine Massif.

At the very edge of the earth, where the vast steppe meets imposing mountains, this striking wooden structure curves organically along a bluff overlooking a glacial lake. The design is nothing short of genius – local lenga wood bends and flows with the landscape rather than fighting against it, creating a cocoon of comfort from which to observe the wild drama unfolding outside. Step through the doors, and you'll discover forty elegant suites, all positioned to maximize those jaw-dropping views of the pampas and the iconic massif beyond. This is where intrepid adventurers rest their weary legs after days spent exploring one of the world's most spectacular national parks and where the ever-changing light creates a different masterpiece on the landscape every hour of the day.

Masai Mara

10 Rooms
|
From $850 per person/night

Wild Forest Camp offers a soulful, under-canvas safari experience in the unspoilt Ol Chorro Conservancy. The camp is tucked into a forest grove of Euclea trees, surrounded by birdsong and giving it a real sense of privacy and seclusion. As soon as you emerge from the forest, a sweep of open savannah unfolds before you, with Balanite trees dotting the horizon. It’s a phenomenal sight particularly at sunset. The area boasts superb wildlife viewing in a peaceful setting - with only a couple of safari properties on Ol Chorro, it is never crowded.

Royal Zebra River Lodge

Mara Conservancies, Masai Mara

Popular |
40 Rooms
|
From $780 per person/night
A well-loved camp that's the destination for safari connoisseurs.

Kichwa Tembo Camp, like its sister Bateleur Camp, lies in the western Mara in a private concession that has been leased from its Maasai landlords. Fewer visitors come to this region, although the landscape is filled with wild animals all year, so you're assured more private viewings. The camp lies directly in the path of the annual Great Migration and, in season, you're likely to get the best sightings of the stampeding animals crossing the Mara River, the stuff of documentaries worldwide.

Seringet Mara Camp - Nigel Archer Safaris

Masai Mara

9 Rooms

In the heart of the famous Maasai Mara National Reserve, Seringet is a permanent tented camp — nine guest tents, a single long mess table, and an unbroken horizon of Mara grass. It is a camp built for guests who want the Mara on their own terms.


Set inside the Reserve itself, Seringet sits on ground the great migration crosses every July through October — you are not driving in, you are already there. Wildlife moves past the tents: leopard, elephant, the occasional visiting lion. From first light until the last of the dust settles, the Mara is outside your tent, not an hour's drive away.

Brown's Hotel

London

From $540 per person/night
London's oldest hotel, where Kipling wrote and Queen Victoria came for high tea.

Brown's has been taking in guests on Albemarle Street since 1832, which makes it one of London's oldest hotels – and it wears its age well. Built from a row of Georgian townhouses in the heart of Mayfair, the hotel has hosted royalty, presidents and a long line of writers. Kipling worked on The Jungle Book here over decades of writing retreats, Agatha Christie borrowed it for At Bertram's Hotel, and Alexander Graham Bell made Britain's first telephone call from the building in 1876. Now, a stay at Brown's is all wood panelling and deep armchairs contrasted with modern art and bright upholstery - and a good dose of personality, too.

It's down one of these busy streets that you'll find La Casona de la Ronda, a quiet (thank you, 18th-century walls) oasis in the middle of the hubbub.
