Best hotels in Argentina
Argentina's regions differ enough from one another that where you base yourself shapes the whole trip. First-timers usually start in Buenos Aires, with its café culture and late-night energy, while honeymooners drift south to El Calafate for a walk out onto the other-worldly ice of the Perito Moreno glacier. Adventurous types head to El Chaltén for serious hiking, wine lovers go straight to Mendoza's high-altitude vineyards, and families often love the whale-watching around Península Valdés. Loi Flats Buenos Aires is a fantastic lower-budget option, while the M/V Stella Australis sailing through Tierra del Fuego is the treat to save for a once-in-a-trip splurge. A glacier trek in El Calafate is worth building an entire itinerary around. We have 173 properties across Argentina, with most stays ranging from USD 150 to USD 1,500 per person per night, each one handpicked for character and authenticity.

How much does it cost to stay in a hotel in Argentina?
Hotel stays in Argentina start from around USD 150 per person per night, reaching USD 1,500 at the very top end. By area, Buenos Aires typically runs USD 119 to 251 per person per night, Mendoza from a very reasonable USD 85, and El Calafate up to USD 700 for lodges within reach of the Perito Moreno glacier. In the capital, we rate Loi Flats Buenos Aires as a smart, well-run base.
Where should I stay in Argentina for Patagonia?
El Calafate is the classic base for southern Patagonia, with 23 properties (USD 123 to 700 per person per night) and the other-worldly ice of the Perito Moreno glacier on its doorstep. Hikers go straight to El Chalten, where 13 properties sit beneath the granite spires of Fitz Roy. Further south, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego add 13 more from USD 98, including the M/V Stella Australis, a ship that swaps a hotel room for a cabin gliding past glaciers.
Which part of Argentina is best for wine hotels?
Mendoza, without question. Its 15 properties range from USD 85 to 442 per person per night, and the best of them sit right among the vineyards with the snow-capped Andes as a backdrop to breakfast. This is Malbec country, so expect long lunches and cellar-door tastings a short stroll from your room. Pack loose trousers.
Where should I stay in Argentina to see wildlife?
Peninsula Valdes is the place for marine life, with 10 properties from USD 80 per person per night and whales breaching within sight of the shore. In the steamy subtropical north, Iguazu Falls adds 13 properties (USD 99 to 298) where the roar of the falls carries through the forest and toucans flap across the canopy. Both pair neatly with a few nights in Buenos Aires, which has 33 properties of its own.
