Adamas House Hotel
Adamas House is one of our favorite boutique hotels in the historic center of Quito. With more than 130 monumental buildings, and another 5,000 registered properties, Quito’s Centro Historico is one of the best-preserved historic quarters in the world. The hotel is surrounded by the city’s landmark plazas, churches, and museums.
Villa Amazonia
Villa Amazonia is located in the historic heart of Manaus, the gateway to Brazil’s Amazon Basin. This hotel is ideal as a stopover base en route to or on the return from the region’s remote Amazon lodges. The hotel is within easy reach of the the Manaus Opera House, the market, and the colorful waterfront.

Located in the heart of the Colca Valley, Colca Lodge is surrounded by hundreds of pre-Inca terraces. The lodge’s terraced design was inspired by these ancient constructions, and local materials–stone, wood, tile, adobe, and textiles are incorporated throughout.
Hotel Mama Cuchara
Hotel Mama Cuchara is a boutique hotel located in a restored mansion within Quito’s Centro Historico–the first historic center to be granted UNESCO World Heritage status. This privileged location is close to many of the Historic Center’s most noteworthy plazas, churches, artisanal workshops, and museums.
Royal Palm Hotel Galapagos
The Royal Palm Hotel Galapagos is located in the lush Miconia Highlands of Santa Cruz Island, near the center of the Galapagos Archipelago. This 482-acre private reserve protects rich grazing and nesting habitat for giant tortoises, land iguanas, and dozens of bird species. Its location is near the island’s midpoint–roughly 20 minutes by road from the southern port town of Puerto Ayora and the northern port at Itabaca Channel–allowing guests to take day trips to the nearby islands off both coasts. The forested highlands also shelter guests from the shadeless, arid coast.
Casa Real Hotel (Santa Rita Winery)
Casa Real Hotel is a national treasure. Located on the manicured Santa Rita Winery estate 45 minutes southeast of Santiago, the hotel is located in a grand manor house. This carefully preserved, 19th-century, Pompeian-style summer house was declared a historic monument in 1972.
Hotel Antumalal
Hotel Antumalal is a mid-century masterpiece–an architectural gem resting amid three acres of gardens and forest. Its lovingly preserved structure and furnishings recall a time when Pucon was the secret hideaway of Chile’s patrician families, literati, and celebrities.
Hotel Palacio Astoreca
When you stay at Hotel Palacio Astoreca, you know you’re in Valparaiso. This red-velvet cake of a mansion dates to 1923, and is surrounded by mind-boggling one-ways and vividly painted alleyways. The interior spaces are an unabashed mash up of the cozy and the grand.
