Hotel Palacio de Sal

WHAT IT IS?

Hotel Palacio de Sal is built out of salt bricks and also featuring salt furniture. The hotel fits perfectly into its beautiful setting by using salt in every part of its design. The walls, ceilings, furniture, and more are made from salt. It’s located about 25 km from the city of Uyuni in southwest Bolivia, right by the world’s largest salt flats, the Salar de Uyuni. It’s a great spot for relaxing in a unique environment and for starting or ending a tour of the salt flats, which are a top tourist attraction in Bolivia.
