You\u2019re probably picturing something a bit different from these hotels, each of them lodges in their own unique way.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>A bunch of us were sitting around the proverbial water cooler the other day, talking about hotel names, when someone noted that an awful lot of hotels call themselves lodges. And not just the obvious ones, either, like ski lodges. Hotels of all styles and in all kinds of locations \u2014 hotels with very little in common \u2014 slap the lodge descriptor onto their name. <\/p>\n<p>It got us wondering, what <em>exactly<\/em> is a lodge? We\u2019ve all heard the word used to describe things like mountain cabins and meeting places, but is there a set of specific criteria that a structure must meet before it can call itself a lodge? Turns out, not really! Must it use wood beams, or have a fireplace, or be in close proximity to trees or animals? Not even a little bit! So it&#8217;s basically just any place that hosts a lodger, right? Not quite! According to Merriam-Webster, lodge predates lodger by a few hundred years.   <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll end the suspense. One of the dictionary&#8217;s many definitions of lodge is, simply, &#8220;a resort hotel\u201d or &#8220;inn,&#8221; which is awfully broad, and totally unsatisfying, but at least explains the depth and breadth of hotels on Tablet that refer to themselves as lodges, including these, some of our most interesting examples. <\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Indrani Lodge<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Genappe, Belgium<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/genappe-hotels\/indrani-lodge\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200201\/Indrani.jpg\" alt=\"Indrani Lodge\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brussels is a major city, but a compact one, and you don\u2019t have to get very far out of town before urban life gives way to peaceful countryside.

With the Calistoga Motor Lodge and Spa, however, that\u2019s all changed; here\u2019s a \u201940s motor lodge reimagined in a retro-influenced contemporary style by the design firm AvroKO (whose work is on display in a fair number of other Tablet hotels).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d8ca5ba894d\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Nevsehir, Turkey<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/nevsehir-hotels\/ariana-sustainable-luxury-lodge\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200201\/ArianaSustainable.jpg\" alt=\"Ariana Sustainable Luxury Lodge\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no place quite like Cappadocia, the region in central Turkey that\u2019s known for its unique rock formations and its inimitable cave dwellings.

Perhaps most important, from the perspective of a lover of high-end hospitality, is that safari lodges are only getting more and more luxurious. Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge is a case in point. Its setting, in the Nambiti private game reserve, is stunning, varied, wild, and chock full of animals. And back at the lodge, the living is easy indeed: it\u2019s a Relais &#038; Ch\u00e2teaux hotel owned by a French couple for whom \u201csavoir vivre\u201d is serious business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\t<a id=\"thb-button-69d8ca5ba8975\" class=\"button medium   black\" href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Belmond Sanctuary Lodge<\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Machu Picchu, Peru<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/machu-picchu-hotels\/belmond-sanctuary-lodge\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200201\/BelmondSanctuary.jpg\" alt=\"Belmond Sanctuary Lodge\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clearly the attraction here is the proximity to the ruins of the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, hidden away almost eight thousand feet up in Peru\u2019s Andes mountains.
