Best hotels in Argentina

The stunning EOLO Lodge Patagonia’s Spirit is an unexpected treasure just waiting to be uncovered in the vast Patagonian steppe. Located midway between the town of El Calafate and the famous Perito Moreno Glacier, the lodge is surrounded by never-ending vistas of Andean mountains, lakes, and glaciers. Let yourself be charmed by the endless horizons and wild natural setting, the magical sky that is constantly transforming before your very eyes, and the outstanding facilities and team that make this lodge beyond worthy of its Relais & Chateaux label.

The Four Seasons Buenos Aires offers a stylish combination of classic European glamour and modern comfort, largely thanks to the buildings it's housed in: an early 20th century manor and a modern multi-storey building. Unique to say the least! Located on the outskirts of the exclusive Recoleta neighbourhood, the hotel is within walking distance of one of Buenos Aires most prominent shopping centres, several ritzy boutiques and trendy eateries, and the famed Recoleta cemetery. Inside, luxurious rooms, an assortment of dining possibilities, a buzzing bar, lush gardens and an inviting pool round off the experience, making for one pretty amazing place to call home for a few days… or more.

Located in the luscious Mendoza valley and surrounded by iconic vineyards, the strikingly modern Entre Cielos Luxury Wine Hotel & Spa is, quite simply, exquisite. Rooms are styled and lovely, there's a Hamman, spa, solarium and beautiful gardens to relax in, and the restaurant, Katharina's, is fabulous. With over a thousand different vineyards (really!) in the vicinity and private tasting experiences available every day at the hotel itself, it's the perfect launchpad to discover Argentina's wine country and delicious regional treasures. A 30 minute drive will take you to Mendoza, where eateries and a sample of local nightlife and culture await, but even closer is the tiny town of Chacras de Coria with wineries aplenty.

Ask anyone to describe Estancia Peuma Hue and the word paradise is bound to come up - and the eco-lodge certainly lives up to its name, meaning “the place of dreams” in the native Mapuche language. Nestled between imposing mountains and sitting pretty on the shores of Lake Gutiérrez, this 500-acre slice of heaven houses a maximum of just 28 guests offering both a highly personalised experience and plenty of land to roam free. The property is home to forests, pristine creeks and waterfalls, as well as an array of local wildlife. And with gourmet healthy eats and endless activities on offer - from kayaking and horseback riding to forest immersions and guided meditations - it's a destination in itself.

Designed to cleverly navigate Patagonia’s narrow fjords and icy, glacial channels, Ventus Australis - Latin for “southern wind” - offers an unmatched exploration of South America’s remote and breathtakingly beautiful southernmost tip. First launched in 2018, the swish 210-passenger ship is all about the scenery and showcasing the extraordinary story of everyday survival in one of the most indomitable spots on Earth. To think that Ferdinand Magellan and Charles Darwin at some point, centuries ago, sailed these waters braving the elements is truly mind-blowing. But now you get to do it too, in the utmost comfort and style…

The setting for Awasi Iguazú is, for lack of a better word, magical. Sitting on a hillside on the banks of the Iguazú River, surrounded by nothing but tangled Atlantic rainforest and the creatures that inhabit it, this uber-luxurious lodge occupies a 25-acre plot of private natural jungle and offers a totally exclusive experience amongst the treetops. During the day, you'll embark on thoughtfully crafted activities with world-class guides, and in the evening, you'll return to a secluded villa - private pool included - enveloped in the leaves and branches, with only the tropical birds for company. And it's all just 20 minutes from Iguazú Falls!

Dreamt up by the hospitality-savvy Fenestraz family, House of Jasmines is a unique, century-old estancia in the spellbinding town of Salta (meaning “beauty” in the local Quechua language). Evoking warmth and romance, the hotel sits in a gorgeous 100-hectare property, where ancient trees and the smell of flowering jasmine abound and the beauty of the red-tinted mountains is all around. The setting is positively soothing, the food is heart-warming and the lovely team go above and beyond to make sure every guest enjoys the highest level of comfort. And a little fun fact: the property was previously owned by Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall!

Iron balconies, exposed brick, and towering archways set the stage in this revamped masterpiece. Industrial flourishes mingle with restored stone, while the rooftop pool peers down at centuries-old lanes. Here, old stories find new breath in a tale of design-led revival.

Offering a unique glimpse into the past, the original farmstead of Patios de Cafayate Hotel & Spa dates back to 1892 when it was the centre of a traditional wine estate of the Calchaqui Valley. Nowadays, the unique country hotel is part of the noble El Esteco winery, a working vineyard, and is surrounded by tranquil landscapes of grape-filled vineyards and hills that glimmer under the ever-present sun. Fusing high-end wines, indulgent Andean gastronomy, and charming rooms that teem with history, it's an authentic estancia experience in the middle of the Argentinian wine route.
