Looking for low-priced luxury amidst the wild Italian Alps? At the far end of Val Venosta, just shy of its scenic Swiss border, is the tiny city of Glorenza (Glurns). Snug in the lap of some of Italy’s snowiest, wildest Alps and its medieval walls is an inn with some 500-year-old bones combined with a graceful, contemporary refit. This excellent accommodation facility beckons you to Gasthof Grüner Baum’s conventionally Tirolean façade which overlooks the cobbled central square, waiting to be explored. Here, you can expect to find filters across floors, stark white walls offset by pastel environs and a scattering of antiques. You may choose to stay in one of its ten rooms: all generous of scale, unique, and featuring a beguiling mélange of elegance as well as modern furniture, rather luxurious, linen and vintage curios alike.
With the lush terrains of the snowy Ortler peaks as the perfect back drop, the comfy offerings of Glorenza: freestanding ‘egg’ bath, a well-stocked library’s calmness, earthy and delectable meals as well as the elegant whites in pretty, pared-back stubens is worth a stay—be there.
Oztel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
If you really want to beat Brazil’s high prices then do plan a stay at Oztel.

Here, you can manage to secure yourself a bed for as low as R$55 in the dead of summers. Most tourists find this facility totally unique and unlike anything they may have seen before. Behind this hotel’s uneventful walls, Scandinavian and not-so-topical designs and a world of kitsch; you get a fascinating work of art—not something that can be rated as a hostel or hotel alone!
