8 Best Hotels in Argentina

When you're staying in a wildlife reserve, taking care of Mother Nature seems only right; while this eco-friendly hotel uses solar panels, low-energy fittings, and recycles its water, they don't skimp on style or luxury. Moss- or sage-green walls offset the recycled-wood headboards, and the huge, firm beds have crisp linens, natural wool throws, and lots of pillows. The friendly staff help you organize nature-oriented expeditions all over the peninsula, including spots few tourists visit.

Wood-paneled décor and views of Cerro Piltriquitrón make this commodious modern inn a standout. The on-site gym, expansive rooms and suites, and hyper-competent staff combine to make this the premier lodging if you're looking to stay in El Bolsón proper. An added plus is the hotel's restaurant, which can hold its own against the best eateries in the region.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

Taking "off the beaten track" to another level, this homey lodge sits on the banks of the Meliquina River in the middle of Parque Nacional Lanín and is a favorite with both fly fishermen and families. The spacious suites are comfortable, if modestly decorated, and all rooms have river views. Since there's no cellphone reception, guests have no choice but to enjoy the tranquilidad and swap their techno-addictions for walking, horseback-riding, and kayaking excursions. Homemade meals are prepared by your hosts, the delightful Echavarría clan.

The soaring ceilings, wooden rafters, and cobbled white walls of this cavernous home double as a teahouse and a bed-and-breakfast. The interior garden leads to a staircase that takes you to four lovely bedrooms with wood floors, heavy drapes, and dressers fashioned from antique sewing-machine tables. It was opened in 1974 by María Elena Sánchez Jones, who still directs the kitchen and runs the lodgings.
