Best hotels in Argentina

Opening its doors at the end of 2021, El Chalten is the latest of Explora’s luxurious lodges, where adventure is the name of the game and disconnecting from the modern world is encouraged - and with a setting in the private 14,000-acre Los Huemules Conservation Reserve, neither of those are hard to achieve! Within easy reach of the iconic peaks of Mount Fitz Roy, it's the ultimate HQ for exploring this incredible, glacier-filled corner of Argentina and a great base for exploring the Southern Ice Field. The all-inclusive model means endless excursion opportunities with the world-class guides and puts some of the wildest corners of Patagonia at your fingertips.

Located in the heart of the small village of Chacras de Coria, this delightful, long-running boutique hotel is as cosy and welcoming as they come. The small-town setting adds to the charm and the picturesque village square is only a few blocks away. At the hotel, the restaurant offers superb dining experiences, the rooms are warm and comfortable, and the service is fantastic - the staff truly feel like family and will happily organise every detail of your stay. Further afield, there are wineries aplenty within 20 minutes drive or less, making charming Lares de Chacras a great base from which to explore what Mendoza is most famous for.

The all-inclusive Aguas Arriba Lodge is truly one-of-a-kind. Sitting on the banks of Lago del Desierto, 37 kilometres from El Chalten, it's the only man-made structure on the lake and surrounded by nothing but gorgeous southern beech forest to one side and the vastness of the lake and Vespignani Glacier to the other. It will come as no surprise that the secluded spot is accessible only by boat - unless you want to hike. Accompanied by one of the lodge’s guides, a three-hour walk through the forest will lead you to the front door, whilst your luggage travels comfortably by boat. If you’re up for it, it’s certainly worth it!

Look up ‘exclusivity’ in the dictionary and there's probably a photo of Belmond Hotel das Cataratas. Surrounded by 700,000 acres of pristine national park, this uber-swish hotel is literally as close as you can get to one of the world’s most stunning natural wonders, Iguazu Falls. It's the only hotel on the Brazilian side of the park and your only neighbour for miles (and miles) is pristine emerald forest, bursting at the seams with tropical flora and fauna including wild dog and armadillos. The soundtrack of the crashing falls accompanies activities from dawn to dusk and back at the hotel, there's a pool to float in, caipirinhas to sip, and two delicious restaurants to make use of. Oh, and did we mention you'll be the first into the park in the morning?

Within just 10 minutes of an assortment of world-class wineries, Awasi Mendoza boasts one of the best locales in Mendoza. Set on a 55-acre vineyard under the gaze of the snow-capped Andes mountains - views of these spectacular peaks never elude - the lodge showcases the joys of Argentinian wine whilst also offering up some seriously idyllic accommodation. Set in gardens of weeping willows and eccentric statues, the Moorish-inspired patios ooze charm and warmth, while the team's personal service make you feel genuinely looked after. The food is exquisite, the spa is decadent and there is no shortage of activities - including some of Mendoza's 1,500 vineyards to get your fix of tastings. You won’t want to leave!

Just off the main road in El Chalten, Hosteria El Puma is one of the most charming lodges around town, offering amazing comfort and a down-to-earth atmosphere. It might not be overly fancy, but the lodge has been very well thought out and, owned by a mountain guide, it's ideal for travellers who enjoy nature and the outdoors. On top of that, the service is outstanding, the laid-back and welcoming vibe is soothing and the location, right next to the start of many of the park’s trails, is unbeatable. If you’re not one for overly ritzy, resort-style hotels, Hosteria El Puma is calling your name.

Positioned in Patagonia's adventure capital, this welcoming base strikes the perfect note between comfort and practicality. The spa provides much-needed muscle relief after glacier hikes, while the artisan bakery's morning aromas could tempt even the most determined mountaineer to linger over breakfast. It's refreshingly unpretentious, focusing instead on the essentials that matter after a day in the wild.
