DESCRIPTION
"Tierra Patagonia Hotel + Spa sits on a bluff where the South American pampa meets Lake Sarmiento. The building is immersed in the landscape and emerges from the hillside. The award winning architecture complements the flow of the geology in this privileged location and showcases the magnificent views of the Torres del Paine National Park, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978.
Inside, wood clad walls emanate warmth, safety and protection – a cozy hideaway after a day spent discovering the amazing Patagonian outdoors." tierrahotels.com
WHAT WE LOVE
We visited here in January, 2015
The integration of architecture and landscape. We have not experienced a better example of a building seamlessly blended into its environment. As you drive towards the hotel you can’t even see it- the structure quietly defers to the mountains and the lake. As you get closer, however, the powerful precisely-crafted architecture suddenly emerges. It’s like a fossil in the landscape. Truly one-of-a-kind.
The materials. Most of the locally sourced stone and wood is left raw and unadorned, which, over time, has produced a natural patina with a lived-in feel. You are immediately “at home” and connected with your surroundings.
The location. Right on Lake Sarmiento with unparalleled views of Torres del Paine.
