5 Amazing Mountainside Hotels to Dream About
“The mountains are calling, and I must go!”
John Muir
There is no doubt that there is something very magical about the mountain, they have been a fascination since the beginning of time for mankind. Always an awe inspiring sight, they never fail to impress and the temptation to climb to the top to be rewarded with epic views is ever powerful. It can become quite the addiction!
Though you don’t necessarily need to scale the summit to appreciate their wonder. Just being surrounded by them towering above you is just as wonderful. Plus, even better if your hotel happens to be right next-door, where you can appreciate it from the luxury of the hotel pool or your balcony window! It doesn’t get better than that.
So here’s our top 5, amazing mountain side hotels with some of the most incredible views you’ll ever experience from the luxury of your room. Some of which we have been lucky enough to stay and others which are still on that bucket list! So why not get inspired, escape for a few minutes and maybe start plotting an adventure for next year.
The Desert Pearl, Zion National Park
This stunning hotel, The Desert Pearl is nestled in the middle of Zion National Park in Utah, USA. With Zion Canyon creating the most amazing backdrop, and the entrance to the national park just a hop, skip and jump away. We had the most fantastic stay here, enjoying the most wonderful sunsets in the canyon whilst sat in the poolside jacuzzi.
The Omnia Hotel, Zermatt, Switzerland
This beautiful alpine resort, The Omnia is located right next to the Matterhorn with the most incredible views. The spa looks absolutely divine, and this one is most definitely on the bucket list.
Dongling Resort, Yangshuo, China
This has to be one of the worlds best kept secrets. Dongling Resort in Yangshuo is only considered a mid-range hotel but definitely has 5 star views. Set in the midst of the giant lime stone karsts of Yangshuo, we witnessed the most incredible, other worldly sunrises and sunsets from the resorts veranda. It was magical.
Como Uma Hotel, Paro, Bhutan
Uma Paro Hotel in Bhutan is one of the most luxurious hotels on our wish list! A trip to Bhutan is never cheap with a daily gov tax, let alone staying at this hotel! A beautiful contemporary hotel yet at the same time, very traditionally Bhutanese. It sits at about 2500m above sea level in Paro Valley, in the Himalayas where every now and then you will hear the roar of the ‘Thunder Dragon’.
Salto Chico, Patagonia, Chile
Salto Chico Lodge in Patagonia sits right next to national park Torre Del Paine. A contemporary hotel with the most stunning views across lake Pehoe to the mountains, that can be used as the perfect base to go and explore the region. Though why would you even need to leave the hotel with a view like that!?
