Ambiente, A Landscape Hotel

What the classifiers highlight

Forty cube-shaped rooms called Atriums float on stilts above the desert floor, each with wraparound floor-to-ceiling glass and a rooftop for stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country. MICHELIN awards two Keys and notes how excavated rock was reused for the stairs and pathways, and how soft, lantern-like lighting keeps light pollution down.
