Fodor's Expert Review El Casco Art Hotel

At this stunning modern hotel all public spaces—halls, wine bar, gourmet restaurant, even the downstairs gym, indoor-out pool, and large Jacuzzi—face the lake, and a private launch docked at the pier makes getting out on the water easy. It is the area's most stylish option. Intriguing sculptures perched on marble stands, wooden ledges, or freestanding in the garden are part of a collection of over 500 works displayed throughout the property; art also adorns the huge lake-view guest rooms, which are tastefully done in natural colors. The hotel is within 15 minutes of Bariloche, the ski area, and two 18-hole golf courses.
