We love the authentic and Zen feel of St Regis Lhasa which is located within walking distance of the Old Town of Lhasa in Tibet. The guest rooms and villas are decorated in subdued browns with black-and-white photos of Buddhist pilgrims, and the spacious bathrooms boast a separate tub. Outside, there’s a spa pavilion, a meditation garden, and 40-foot crimson exterior walls.
