June 2012The Singular Patagonia
It List: The Best New Hotels 2012
Design: The Singular, Puerto Borries, Patagonia, Chile
Here’s a challenge: take a century-old meat-storage facility on the shoals of Patagonia’s icy fjords and turn it into a top-notch adventure resort. The first hotel from Singular, an independent, Santiago-based hotel company, is up to the task.
Chilean-born designer Enrique Concha helped transform the brick-and-timber structure an hour from Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park into a cavernous main lodge with cathedral ceilings and dramatic walls of glass. Fifty-seven guest rooms—all with floor-to-ceiling windows—look onto the original pinewood dock, the Last Hope Sound, and the snowcapped Andes.
After a hearty traditional breakfast we were fortified enough to explore our surroundings, which included the two for-guests-only private reserves, just a short sail away.
