Awa

Top choice in The Lakes District


An architect family built and own Sur Chico's most beautiful new hotel, a deceptively small, 16-room sustainable lakeside retreat that harbors exquisite design details. Rustic (hanging old boats, antique maps) marries modernity (exposed concrete ceilings, slate flooring, reclaimed hardwoods) in common areas; rooms frame stunning volcano views from beds with handmade throws colored to match kinetic-art paintings by Matilde Pérez.

You'll find your TV hidden inside an antique trunk and bathtubs fit three (Harman Kardon speakers to set the mood)! There's also a 25m lap pool and free kayaks, bikes and stand-up paddleboards. The restaurant is above and beyond for the region.
