Altu Qala

La Paz


The design concept at this stunning 10-room boutique hotel, opened in late 2018, is mid-century meets neoclassical, and the minutest of details do not go unnoticed (the floor tiles alone are like a mesmerizing optical illusion!). It's located in the same revamped early-1900s building as Hb Bronze Coffeebar and boasts a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views over the city.
