St. Regis, Lhasa

Set on the “roof of the world” at a staggering 12,000 feet above sea level, the St. Regis, Lhasa is a modernist take on traditional Tibetan design. The heights and the views are sure to leave you breathless, but never fear—fighting altitude sickness is easy with guest room amenities like soaking tubs in the bathrooms and extra doses of oxygen in the minibar. For an even higher experience, book the Everest Suite, which overlooks the Potala Palace (once home to the Dalai Lama) from both its living room and private terrace.
