Hotel de Larache, Chile
More "experience base" than hotel, this luxurious lodging is set in the extraordinary Atacama Desert, which features in the latest Bond instalment. While the villain Dominic Greene's hideout was actually filmed at the desert's Paranal Observatory, the hotel has recently installed an observatory of its own.

It has a stylish mix of original features and contemporary furnishings.
