The Best Hotel Openings in the Americas for 2023
Habitas Atacama, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
The sustainability-led brand’s 11th property is in the Atacama desert—the largest fog desert in the world known for its lunar rock formations, salt flats, hot springs, volcanoes, geysers, and more. Upon arrival, guests are immediately immersed in the serene destination, which comprises locally sourced F&B options, an inviting pool and wellness area, and a dedicated gathering space for intimate events. The 51 earth-toned and minimalist guestrooms, meanwhile, are enlivened by traditional stonework, tapestries and ceramics, and furnishings sourced from nearby businesses.
