Though the hotel was a bit far out of town, the view afforded by that fact was amazing! Read through some reviews to get a sense so you are prepared before you go. Yes, the staff seem young but they were never not helpful, just a bit inexperienced. They always helped with contacting our tour operators and anything else we... More

Mixed reviews on Trip Advisor had us arrive at the hotel with no expectations as reviews suggest somewhat inconsistent and very hit & miss! Location: Perfect. Located outside of El Calafate centre (approx 10 mins by taxi for a fee of ARS 40). The hotel has the best views of Lago Argentino without a doubt and don't be fooled by... More

The hotel is fantastic! Great view of the Lago Argentino, it is worth it to pay for a roomn with a view. The pool is warm and also with a view. Great massages, food is very good though very sophisticated. They organize the tours to the glaziers and have a shuttle downtown. Great staff, totally worth it!!

The view is breathtaking, the big and modern room, with jacuzzi, was right in front of Lago Argentino. We took our bubble baths looking at the lake and mountains! Staff is very friendly and professional, and the spa is great. It has an indoor pool with glass ceiling and walls, so you can swim right into the landscape.

I stayed there on my honeymoon for 3 nights total. Our first stay we were in a suite with a mountain view. This room was on the main floor and was not pleasant at all. It was in full view of the grounds so we could not leave our curtains or windows open. The room had a dusty carpet and... More

This hotel is a great place to relax! Located just outside of El Calafate it is almost directly at Lago Argentino. With a blue sky the landscape is amazing! The hotel has a shuttle service to the village which runs every hour. The big suites are great, the only thing is the carpet on the floor. It isn't quite flat!... More

Yes, I'm a big fan of Ayn Rand, and have often wondered what an actual property designed by Howard Roark would look like. And then I saw this. Perched on a hill by itself, overlooking a spectacularly beautiful lake, and seemingly rising out of the ground without being disruptive - it was love at first sight. The rooms didn't dissapoint...
