Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Correntoso

Perched on a hill where the Correntoso River runs into Nahuel Huapi Lake, this landmark hotel is at once cozy and contemporary; from your bedroom window you can see the fish jumping. Old photos, light fixtures made from colihue branches, handwoven Mapuche fabrics, and custom furniture celebrate the hotel’s century-long history. A restaurant ($$$$) overlooking the lake serves Patagonian specialties such as hare, wild boar, lamb, beef, and, of course, fish from local waters. Children under 12 who are not hotel guests aren't allowed in the dining room, but they are welcome in the original fisherman's shack on the lake.
