So when we spotted this Jules Verne-inspired hotel over at My Modern Met, we were inspired to go on a hunt for other interesting hotels inspired by books — whether in general, or focusing on a single volume, or even detail.

If you take the immediate exterior of the Las Lajas Sanctuary in Colombia it doesn’t look too much like an atypical South American Catholic church. Yet it retains many of their qualities: it is ornate, richly elaborate and, to many eyes, beautiful. Just another minor basilica church in a country dotted with them, you might think.
