“The city’s first boutique design hotel, in the upscale Zona Sur, is 100% Bolivian: the floors are local stone, ajo wood headboards hail from the Amazon and cowhides from Tarija.”

“The cultural capital, La Paz, is just hitting its stride and recently emerged as a foodie capital. Noma co-founder Claus Meyer’s social-good-minded Gustu now makes the 50 Best list, new destination restaurants are opening, and the new luxury hotels include Atix.” .

“The dedication to its motherland also continues inside: artworks by Bolivian artist Gastón Ugalde - known as the “Warhol of the Andes” - decorate walls, while huge floor-to-ceiling windows frame otherworldly views of the surrounding mountains. The name of the hotel means ‘the one who thrives’ in Quechua. It is the first hotel in Bolivia to be part of the Design Hotels portfolio.”

“For a nightcap, try craft cocktails blended with native firewaters at design hotel Atix, a glass parallelogram with floor-to-ceiling views of surrounding Andean slopes.”

“There are plenty of reasons to travel to La Paz, Bolivia's high-altitude de facto capital, this year — from the opening of pioneering design hotels Atix and Altu Qala to the new cable network with staggering views of the Andes — but the number-one draw might just be its booming culinary scene.”

“The best place to admire Gastón Ugalde’s art is in the Atix Hotel in upscale Calacoto, where more than a hundred of his works enliven an eight-storey tower designed by New York architect Stuart Narofsky.”

“Across the border in La Paz, Design Hotels has opened Atix, the country’s first high-design boutique hotel, and the restaurant is playing a big role in the city’s burgeoning culinary renaissance.”

"La Paz is also an incredible city, with great restaurants and also some cool hotels. For salt flats, stay at the Luxury Airstream campers by Crillon Tours, or the newly opened Kachi Lodge that looks like igloos on the salt flats. In La Paz stay at the Atix Design Hotel."

“Atix aims to embody local culture, from its sleek design (featuring Bolivian wood and Comanche stone) to its name (meaning “One who thrives” in Quechua)”

“Contemporary and indigenous influences abound at Atix, like a façade of timber and Comanche stone and works by artist Gastón Ugalde”
