Best hotels in Salta

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!

Legado Mítico Salta is a unique concept hotel, where each room pays homage to an emblematic or legendary character in Argentina’s history. While its sister property in Buenos Aires focuses mainly on political and cultural figures, this one highlights the region’s indigenous legacy. Housed in an old mansion, right in Salta’s historic quarter, it's also superbly stylish yet unpretentious, and somehow manages to combine regional tradition with the contemporary in a very sensitive way. If you’re looking for an authentic experience with personalised attention and amazing comfort, call off the search...

For those seeking an intimate stay in Salta, Kkala Boutique Hotel is the perfect home away from home. The beautiful house-turned-boutique hotel is located in the peaceful residential neighbourhood of Tres Cerritos, just 20 minutes from the city centre, and surrounded by tree-lined streets and beautiful mountain views. A charming team and very personalised service make it stand out from the crowds, and it's truly a lovely base from which to explore the surrounding marvels, both cultural and natural.

Estancia Colomé is a historic winery and estate located in Argentina's Calchaquí Valley in Salta Province. The hotel at Estancia Colomé features nine spacious rooms designed in a colonial style that reflects the estate's heritage. Each room offers views of either the vineyards, mountains, or gardens. The remote location offers a peaceful retreat experience, though it also means the property is accessed via unpaved roads and requires some planning to reach.

The old colonial house or ”sala” is surrounded by sheltered galleries. These provide a fluid transfer between indoors and outdoors and a proximity to nature and the extraordinary sight of the Milkyway when nightime comes. Many traditional and local details were integrated in the renovation of the suites and reception rooms. The sala will enhance your feeling of stepping back in history and tasting the charm of a bygone world less cluttered by the many trappings of contemporary life.

Right on Belgrano Square in the thick of Salta's historic centre, Design Suites delivers something decidedly different to northern Argentina's colonial gem. This sleek 51-room property trades traditional terracotta tiles for polished concrete and contemporary art, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the baroque churches and cobblestones just outside. The rooftop pool with its sweeping city views, award-winning regional restaurant, and surprisingly spacious rooms make it a solid urban base. Add in a proper spa with wet and dry saunas, and you've got yourself a thoroughly modern take on Argentine hospitality that doesn't sacrifice location for style.

The elegant Spanish colonial style and excellent personalized attention come together to provide a feeling of warmth and create an atmosphere of peace and serenity that allows you to relax and disconnect from the fast pace of the city.
