206 Best Hotels in Argentina

Over the years this landmark has hosted some of the country's biggest movers and shakers, including Juan and Eva Perón—no surprise, since it has a presidential suite that occupies an entire floor. Built in 1928, the Spanish baroque structure has some of the most luxurious rooms in the NH chain. Rooms have big, bouncy beds and handsome wood desks; the small bathrooms disappoint, though. Suites have private terraces overlooking the city and the Río de la Plata. The lobby café sits a half story above the sidewalk and offers grand views of passersby.

This historic hotel was treated to a face-lift when it was purchased by NH Hotels, but the Spanish chain made certain to respect the Lancaster's proud past. The modern rooms and suites feature well-preserved wood floors, leather headboards, and rich splashes of color. The bright and inviting lobby has a modern bar and small café that sits in the spot where many shady political deals were reportedly sealed when the hotel also had a British-style pub. Now much of the clientele is made up of U.S. and European cruise-ship visitors and foreign business executives.

The minimal gray-and-taupe lobby and slick, wooden-walled breakfast bar are the result of the gradual renovation of this well-established hotel. Some rooms are cramped and still outdated but the panorámicos have bigger beds and fabulous views of the bay, and the Peninsula Suite has an outdoor balcony and a Jacuzzi tub with a bay view. Communal facilities include a small Jacuzzi and gym, and the public spaces have good light and make the best of the seaside location.

In the center of Puerto Madryn, this modern hotel towers over the beachfront and is near all the best restaurants and shops. The service is first-class and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Ask for a room with a balcony and ocean view. 

Designated as a National Historic Monument, the Salta occupies a handsome neocolonial building in the heart of the city; antique furniture and views of either the plaza or the surrounding mountains make every room attractive. You'll also find wooden balconies, blue-and-white tiling, sitting rooms on every floor, and a poolside bar-restaurant with an area for barbecues. Local master Ernesto Scotti painted the frescoes in the dining room.

The exterior of this beautiful old house belies the modern comforts within; an elegant lobby leads to a tastefully appointed sitting room, an airy courtyard, and a good (though expensive) restaurant. The rooftop pool area has great city views. The slightly pricier superior rooms have balconies overlooking a quiet plaza; suites have Jacuzzis.

This modern hotel has spacious accommodations with big picture windows that fill the rooms with natural light and have views of the main street and the mountains in the distance. Facilities include a casino, a spa offering olive-oil massages, and a swimming pool you can dine beside in summer.

Lakefront views of the Andes and a cozy parlor-slash-game room make this downtown inn a winner. If you can snag one of the Lago Superior rooms, you'll wake up to a panoramic vista of morning sunlight off Lake Nahuel Huapi. If you can't, no worries: the location is still top-notch for Bariloche proper--and the bar downstairs is open late.

This all-inclusive stone-and-log lodge on Lago Mascardi is the perfect base for exploring the glaciers and waterfalls of Cerro Tronador, which lies just 25 km (16 miles) up the road. Ambitious hikers can climb to a refugio on the mountain and return in a day. The lodge has been owned by the Vereertbrugghen family since 1929 and offers a broad range of activities, including horse riding, fly fishing, and rafting.

In spite of the cavernous hallways, minimal decor, barren walls, and dim lighting (legacies of the Perón era, when the government built hotels for its employees), this grand old mountain hotel offers comfortable refuge en route to Aconcagua, Chile, or Barreal in the opposite direction. The surrounding scenery, grounds, and gardens invite long walks; the dining room is huge; and the bedrooms have closets large enough to accommodate a month's worth of clothes.

Approaching Uspallata on Ruta Nacional 7, you’ll see this wood-trimmed brick building with a pitched tile roof by the roadside. Rooms are basic, with brick walls, minimalist furniture, and, in some cases, bunk beds; an open, airy living room has places to sit around a woodstove. Outside, a large glass-enclosed swimming pool is bordered by a lawn big enough for a soccer game.

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.

A full-on resort designed with families in mind, Iguazú Grand is bursting with facilities to keep every family member satisfied. Spacious rooms overlook the jungle or the four swimming pools, while parents looking to have a romantic dinner at one of the three restaurants (El Jardín's menu focuses on regional ingredients) can leave the children in the care of the kids' club. A short walk from the Brazilian border, you can take advantage of the Puerto Iguazú duty-free deals or catch the bus to Foz. The Iguazú Grand even has its own nature trail.

The standard block construction might not seem very inspiring, but the Indalo has clean, comfortable rooms and free Wi-Fi. You can stay either at the hotel or in one of seven cabins right on the waterfront.

This lovely hotel has so much going for it—a historic setting, a pair of fine restaurants, a fitness room, and sophisticated rooms, for starters. Relax beside the indoor pool, work out in the fitness center, or enjoy a massage at the spa. The lobby bar is a great place for a drink; if the weather's right, sit in the courtyard, where you can forget you're in a concrete jungle. By day you can readily explore the quaint antiques shops, restaurants, and tango halls of nearby San Telmo. After the office workers head home the area is desolate; it's also on the fringe of some sketchy streets. Taxis are the way to go.

This charming new-build that perfectly matches a colonial estancia opened in 2022, and thanks to the warm service and central location, has become a popular place to stay. White-washed walls and colorful tiles decorate shared spaces such as the dining room, while the focus of the central lawn courtyard is the swimming pool. Spacious rooms are tasteful and elegant, with regional art on walls. Make use of the concierge service to book winery tastings.

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. 

Six spacious, individually themed cabañas allow you to unwind at your own pace. Breakfast is served in the main cabin, but there's no restaurant here—though water taxi service can be arranged to get to one and back—so guests can bring their own food to prepare meals in their cabin's kitchenette or outdoor grill. Swim or laze in the river or swimming pool, kayaks and canoes are available, and the main building has a foosball and pool table. Everything is connected by boardwalks that wind through the lushly green property.

Lined with wooden balconies, high-beamed ceilings, and a slate floor, this hotel is a paragon of Andean Patagonian architecture, while a sunny rooftop spa, gym, and spacious Jacuzzi offer great views over town to Lago Argentino. A lobby bar and living room with fireplace, card tables, magazines, and a large TV are dangerously conducive to lounging about.

A cobblestone walkway with a canopy of vines leads to the heart and soul of this rustically elegant property: a verdant back garden with colorful blooms, wrought-iron chairs, and a pleasant pool. The impressive green space connects two renovated houses filled with simple, French-inspired furnishings. Rooms are sunny and bright, with stone bathrooms, sleek beds topped with snowy linens, and chairs hand-picked from the city’s antique markets. Once you're inside, it’s easy to forget the hotel is smack-dab in the center of Palermo Soho’s dining, shopping, and nightlife scenes. The friendly staff is helpful in getting guests out and about to the best spots.

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.

Wooden walkways connect the luxurious bungalows—each with a private riverside deck. The highlights of staying here are that you can explore the delta in boats or kayaks, soak up the jungle atmosphere by the lagoon-like pool, take a yoga class, or indulge in a massage. Rooms have hardwood walls, jute rugs, and feather pillows in thick cotton cases as well as mosquito netting on the balconies and reading lights over the bathtubs. As well as a dining room and a grill, nighttime entertainment options include a living-room-style bar serving carefully crafted cocktails. The lodge is out of the way to justify a one-night stay but inquire about the two- and three-day all-inclusive packages.

Carob wood and local boulders from the Quebrada de las Conchas were used to construct the little Casa de la Bodega, a rustic space with most mod cons that feels like peace personified. Guest rooms are spacious and well appointed; communal spaces include a living room overlooking the colorful hills, a restaurant, and a pool you can lounge by in summer. You can also visit the winery attached to the hotel, Peña Veyrat Durbex, for a wine-making close-up.

This reformed casa chorizo—named such because the connected rooms resemble the links of a chorizo sausage—dates back to 1820, a fact that won't escape you as you enter the long, open-air entrance with plants and fountains on the left and rooms on the right. Each of the rooms is decorated in a different color scheme; some have sky-high ceilings, while others have quaint alcoves and lofts; all sit behind imposing wooden doors. Other boutique properties offer more amenities and luxury for the same price, but stay here to revel in the charm of Buenos Aires' past.

The various rooms, cabins, and houses here surround a garden of flowers and cacti; all accommodations are built with traditional local materials—adobe, cane, wood—and are decorated with a contemporary eye. A similar aesthetic is reflected in the restaurant, which is one of the best in town. The small pool is heated, so you can even take a dip on a cool evening, with a view of the Siete Colores range.

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. 

This lovely vineyard lodge offers plenty of peace and quiet thanks to its rural location in a 670-acre (1 sq. mile) estate in Los Chacayes. The 'tiny' houses, suites, and villas overlook the vines and the mountains, and the abundant breakfast is included; shared facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, gardens and living room. If you fancy tryng your hand, book ahead to take charge of the parrilla (grill). La Morada boasts an excellent cellar drawing from all Argentina that's curated by top sommelier Andrés Rosberg. Non-residents can book lunch at Hornero restaurant. 

This adorable B&B is a honeymooners' delight, thanks to the multiple personal touches, from home-cooked cuisine to family photos on the walls. The hotel is in the Estancia Río Pipo, on a wind-battered hill 4 km (2.5 miles) west of town, in an area once inhabited by canoeist nomads, but it's now being encroached on by the expanding city. The seven bedrooms—with names such as La Coqueta and La Misión—boast large windows facing the Beagle Channel or the snow-capped Andes, with soft, luxurious beds and charming photos of old shipwrecks. A cozy living room offers a book exchange, board games, video library, and glass display tables with antique arrows, bones, and currency. The restaurant has a top-notch gourmet menu—offering such exotic fare as conejo a la cazadora (stuffed rabbit) or seafood au gratin—prepared by the owner.

This long-running boutique hotel in the heart of little Chacras de Coria has comfortable rooms with stone fireplaces, wood floors, and exposed beams that are at once handsome and homey. The property also includes a pool, a shared garden, and a restaurant with seating in either the small communal dining room or more private (and atmospheric) cellar. Several wineries are in cycling distance, and the owners are usually on hand to help you organize tours or outings.

The powder-blue clapboard facade of this hotel stretches along the beachfront: squint and you can see whales from the huge picture windows in the front-facing rooms and lobby lounge. Rooms are spacious and airy, if rather plain.
