42 Best Hotels in Argentina

In the wooded foothills of the Andes, Las Hayas is slightly dated in its facilities, but the views overlooking the town and channel below still make it worth the trip. Each room features Portuguese linens, solid oak furnishings, and crisp white fabric-padded walls covered in bright one-color floral prints. A suspended glass bridge connects the hotel to the health spa, which includes a heated pool, Jacuzzi, and even a squash court. There's a good restaurant on-site, Le Martial, which prepares local Patagonian cuisine.

Poised dramatically on a cliff overlooking Lago Nahuel Huapi and its forests, this classic stone-and-wood lodge enjoys one of the most beautiful settings on earth: the architecture harmonizes with the natural surroundings, and the tranquil interior—with white walls, pine trim, leather upholstery, and fine Mapuche-woven rugs—conveys a sense of peace. The whole property is a labor of love by its owners, who restored it from the foundations of the original lodge, which was built in 1937 and destroyed by fire in 1982. 

Dating from the 1830s, the venerable La Bamba de Areco was once an important stop along the road from Buenos Aires to northern Argentina. In the heart of the pampas, the rustic ranch has been converted into a luxurious boutique hotel that combines period details like beamed ceiling and shuttered windows with pampering amenities like king-size beds dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets. La Pulpería, the property's oldest building, holds a formal dining room (you can also dine outside under the plane trees), a bar, and a breakfast area. There's also a pool, and horseback tours of the property are offered.

This splendid 2024 opening puts a fresh spin on luxury in the heart of Chacras de Coria. Home to just seven suites, each driven by a literary figure such as Shakespeare and García Márquez and with dashes of New Mexico design, means staff are always on hand, because once you check in, you might not want to leave. There’s an in-room spa including wet and dry saunas, private plunge pool, and hand-carved wooden bathtub, as well as a kitchen and dining room to host guests if you please. Creature comforts are well taken care of, with king-size beds, day beds, and wood-burning fireplaces the standard. There's also a wine cellar and small restaurant. 

An upscale option in El Chaltén, this mountain lodge is a worthy upgrade if you're after more than just a comfortable bed. The large common area on the main floor triples as a bar, living room, and restaurant, where plate-glass windows bring expansive, gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. The rooms have modern yet rustic décor and big hydromassage tubs to soak your bones after hikes. If you can, definitely opt for the superior rooms facing the river and mountains. The trail to Laguna Torre with its viewpoint of Cerro Torres starts just steps behind the hotel. 

Cozy and handsomely designed two-floor apartments in this boutique complex have beautiful views over Lago Argentina and offer some independence and privacy with a self-catering kitchen and homey, gaucho-chic decoration. Breakfast is served to your door, and the 24-hour reception staff offer a helping hand to recommend the best for your itinerary in El Calafate. Two larger apartments and a pretty cabin in the garden can host five to six guests.

This lovely estancia is an hour and a half from El Calafate in a bucolic valley overlooking Lago Roca and backed by snowcapped mountain peaks; where sheep and horses graze, friendly gauchos give horse-racing and sheep-shearing demonstrations, and every evening a communal table is laid for a supper of spit-roasted locally reared lamb. It's possible to visit Nibepo Aike by booking a day trip at the office in downtown El Calafate, but the best way to experience this unique property is a two-night stay in comfortable rooms decorated with original antiques and ranching memorabilia. All-inclusive packages are available, as is breakfast only; options include visiting glaciers and horseback-riding trips where you'll ride along the shores of an emerald glacier lake.

The Hyatt has preserved the landmark Plaza Hotel's 19th-century Spanish colonial façade: a grand pillared entrance and a wide veranda that extends to either side of the street. Inside, however, it has all the modern comforts; minimalist bedrooms are softened by plump white pillows and duvets covering the simple ebony beds. Rates include use of the gym and spa, plus an abundant buffet breakfast. Lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner are served on the gracious terrace overlooking Mendoza's main square. A two-story wall of wine separates Bistro M, the restaurant, from the lobby.

This deluxe hotel pampers its guests with spa services, ski-equipment delivery, and an indoor-outdoor pool. There are supervised indoor activities for kids as well as ski instruction for all levels. Complimentary wine and hot chocolate are served in the afternoon. Stay options are a 'mini-week' (two nights) or seven nights. 

Tucked into the foothills behind Bodega Salentein, this posada is delightfully off the beaten track, and you can choose between modern en suite rooms or one of the homey 100-year-old cottages, all of which look onto the vineyards, large lawn, and swimming pool. There's a home-away-from-home atmosphere and the intimate restaurant opens for lunch and dinner, serving traditional asado or more gourmet à la carte options. A tour of the Salentein winery (3 km [2 miles] away by car or bike) and a visit to the Killka art gallery are offered to all guests, or you can book in horseback excursions at their San Pablo estate.

Tucked away on a quiet country road, this casona-style wine lodge has simple, but comfortable rooms that each look out onto old vines, distant mountains, and the peaceful garden and pool area. Dining at the intimate restaurant offers a good way to unwind after a full day touring the nearby wineries.

Stunning sunsets, luxury villas, and seven-course flame-grilled dinners are the norm at The Vines Resort & Spa, which has a superb on-site restaurant helmed by renowned chef Francis Mallmann, pool, gym, and boutique winery and tasting room. The 21 villas have their own living space, terrace, and kitchenette where you can get breakfast delivered to your door each morning. If you arrive during harvest time, you'll have the opportunity to get your hands dirty at the immersive wine camp experience.
