Hotel Correntoso

Hotel Correntoso Review

You can see the fish jump from your bedroom window, your dining table, the glass-paneled deck, or from the refurbished 100-year-old fishing bar down by the lake. Perched on a hill where the Correntoso River runs into Nahuel Huapi Lake, this landmark hotel celebrates its place in history with old photos, light fixtures made from colihue branches, handwoven Mapuche fabrics, and custom-made furniture. The bar often has live music, and the restaurant ($$$$) overlooking the lake serves Patagonian specialties such as hare, wild boar, lamb, beef, and, of course, fish from local lakes and streams. A downstairs playroom, conference room, indoor-outdoor pool, and spa with a riveting view from the massage table all look out onto blue Nahuel Huapi Lake. Children under 10 who are not hotel guests are not allowed in the dining room, but they are welcome in the original fisherman's shack on the lake, which has been converted to a casual café-bar serving snacks and sandwiches.
