Hotels and stays I'd actually book again, organized by destination — not ranked by which one pays the highest commission. Every listing links to real-time availability.
Thamel · historic courtyard hotel, easy walk to gear shops.
Best splurge on the EBC route · hot showers, real beds.
Post-trek reward · heritage luxury, worth one night.
Erg Chebbi · private tents, dinner under the stars.
Atlas Mountains · mountain lodge, trekking base.
Sacred Valley · mid-range, slightly lower altitude.
Aguas Calientes · splurge, closest to the ruins.
