La Torre’s got love-it-or-hate it looks. Step inside, and the circular building has a large open foyer with a glass roof and a ramp that spirals up to the rooms, which all open onto the central space. There’s lots of natural light throughout, and bright colours and quirky furnishings add an Art Deco feel to the place.

Breakfast and dinner are included here, and the hotel restaurant has a great view of the valley and surrounding mountains.
