Remarkably constructed entirely out of salt blocks from the Salar de Uyuni, Luna Salada is unique. Set on a plateau overlooking the world’s largest salt plain, this extraordinary hotel is simply the best place from which to enjoy the mesmerising splendour of this otherworldly landscape. Enjoy traditional Bolivian hospitality and the incredible peace that can only be enjoyed in such a remote place. Traditionally styled with local textiles and furniture made out of salt, colourfully woven rugs cover the carpet of salt that crunches beneath your feet. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience not to be missed. This award-winning hotel's restaurant offers spectacular views of the salt plains and there is also a bar, handicraft centre and a games room. A range of activities can be arranged locally including private tours to the Salar Flats and Lagoons, trekking, bird-watching and mountain-biking. The charming rooms feature colourful fabrics, furniture made from blocks of salt and views of the salt flat or mountains. Standard Rooms are cosy while the Deluxe Rooms offer a little extra space.
The impressive Palacio de Sal lies in south-west Bolivia on the banks of Salar de Uyuni, the largest and one of the most beautiful salt flats on Earth. This unique hotel is the first of its kind — everything from the walls to the furniture is made from salt — but it still has plenty of homely touches such as sculptures by Bolivian artists, sleek wooden decking and cosy lounge areas. During a stay here you'll be able to unwind in beautifully remote surroundings while still only being 15 miles from the city of Uyuni if you fancy a change of scenery. The hotel has a cosy feel with just 42 igloo-like rooms, created with large salt blocks and featuring private bathrooms and free Wi-Fi, but there's a great range of facilities on offer. Following recent renovation, the hotel now has a spa complete with a swimming pool, fitness centre and sauna. Tuck into a variety of hot and cold options at breakfast from pancakes to omelettes, plus buffet dinners with local cuisine including llama and lamb. Enjoy a game of snooker in the spacious bar, and head to the viewing point for some majestic panoramic vistas over the salt flats.
This classic 18th Century-house has been beautifully restored and retains its original charm with sweeping arches, vaulted ceilings and antique furniture. Set around pretty courtyards the hotel is just a short stroll from the central Plaza de Armas. A buffet breakfast is served in the traditional dining room and facilities include a Jacuzzi, small fitness room, massage services. Visit the hotel’s small museum to view historic artefacts discovered during renovations or relax on the peaceful rooftop terrace which overlooks the 'White City’s' terracotta roofs and white-washed colonial buildings. The comfortable rooms are traditionally furnished in colonial style and feature antique furniture and original artwork. The Junior Suites have a sitting area while the spacious Master Suites feature a separate living room and a balcony.
