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.

Warm woods and picture windows frame dramatic mountain views, while the lobby's crackling fireplace draws weather-worn wanderers like moths to a flame. The spa complex, complete with its Finnish bath and jacuzzi, provides a civilised end to adventure-filled days. Meanwhile, the bakery's display case of fresh pastries proves dangerously tempting at all hours.
Cosy sanctuaries decorated in earth tones offer a welcome retreat from Patagonia's elements. Mountain-facing rooms showcase nature's daily light show, while thoughtful touches like blackout curtains and powerful showers tick all the right boxes for weary explorers.
Beyond the obvious (and utterly unmissable) glacier expeditions, the concierge keeps tabs on hidden hiking trails and authentic gaucho experiences. Kayaking adventures can be arranged at the drop of a hat, while condor-spotting excursions offer a different perspective on Patagonian wildlife.
The early morning smell of fresh pastries wafting up from the bakery - better than any alarm clock.
In the evenings, head to the Patagonia DOC bar and restaurant to savour delicious Argentine cuisine and local wines.
The hotel's spa may have limited availability, so it's best to book appointments in advance.
