La Paz’s most stylish contemporary hotel – in the smart Zona Sur neighbourhood – is a great choice for those who want to see the more residential side of the Bolivian capital. An architectural landmark for the city, Casa Grande has a lofty atrium featuring a striking curved glass roof that allows natural light to flood the reception. Interiors are in functional grey and off-white, and there is oxygen available for anyone challenged by the altitude. The sleek cocktail lounge and restaurant serves innovative cuisine and mesmerising views of the surrounding mountains and city.
