to charming mountain towns like Zuoz or Gstaad, Switzerland
abounds with elegant art hotels. Each of the 30 rooms at the Hotel
Lucerne, for example, feels like stepping into a beautifully designed
film set with scenes projected from classic films. The eight rooms and
suite at the old town’s Teufelhof Basel have been conceived as works
of art and are reimagined every two years by a different artist. Geneva’s
chic Hotel Marmont, meanwhile, projects an energetic vibe with its
bold contemporary colour scheme, graphic patterns and bespoke wall-
paper. Art inhabits every corner of Hotel Castell in Zuoz, from James
Turrell’s glowing light installations to Pipilotti Rist’s dream-like Rote

Costa Rica’s new eco-resort and horse ranch has it all.
Seven years in the making, El Lugar (The Place), lies
within 4.9 square kilometres of a verdant rainforest, 90
minutes from San Jose in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Land
was not flattened, nor were trees chopped down during
construction. Ride into the rainforest on horseback, race
down a zipline or lean into whitewater rafting. For a
gentler pace head out birdwatching, swim in the river or
cool off in your villa’s private plunge pool. The 56-room
resort defines responsible luxury. el-lugar.com
