Songtsam Lodge Laigu
Laigu, China · Songtsam · Core Luxury
Songtsam's engineers embedded this lodge beneath a cliff in a Tibetan village at roughly 4,200 meters, assembling it from prefabricated modules because the terrain facing the Laigu glaciers left no room for conventional construction. It's the highest and most technically demanding build in the Songtsam collection, a feat recognized with a 2019 Architecture MasterPrize win, and 16 Deluxe rooms plus 4 Superior Suites all look out toward Rawu Lake and the surrounding peaks.
