Fodor's Expert Review The Singular Patagonia

Y-300 Rd., Puerto Bories, Magallanes, 6160000, Chile Fodor's Choice

Inhabiting the former Bories Cold-Storage Plant, which used to process and export more than 250,000 sheep a year and practically built Puerto Natales as a town, the Singular may well be Puerto Natales's most luxurious and tasteful hotel. Today the history of the site is maintained with an atmospheric museum, which contrasts the harsh realities of living in Patagonia in the past with the supreme luxury of visiting this part of the world today—exemplified by the indulgent spa, refined restaurant, and 500-square-foot rooms featuring 20-foot glass-panel windows overlooking the Patagonian fjords. Brushed-cement ceilings allude to the industrial past, while the furnishings, spacious bathrooms, and free Wi-Fi keep the mood thoroughly modern. Guests can stay as either B&B, half board, or full board and take advantage of the exclusive menu of expeditions, tours, and activities in the heart of Patagonia, including private boat expeditions to see the nearby Balmaceda Glacier.
