The concept of accommodation has evolved significantly, and contemporary travelers are seeking more than just a place to sleep – they want a unique hospitality experience that makes their journeys memorable and matchless. This shift has led to the rise of experiential accommodations, where the place you spend the night is as much a part of the trip as the destination itself. In Latin America, unconventional places to stay are increasingly in-demand, bringing winds of innovation to the hospitality sector.
From luxury treehouses in the rainforest to dome-shaped glamping tents, these unique accommodations offer travelers a chance to sharpen their senses, experience completely different adventures and immerse themselves in nature and the destination. With REMOTE’s resourceful portfolio of exhibitors, we’re fortunate to find fascinating accommodations that combine luxury, creativity and innovative experiences.
