If you don't have a car, finding a place in town may be the most convenient option. That said, local buses run regularly and choosing a hotel or cabin en route to the Llao Llao Peninsula will give you better access to hiking trails and lake views. Many of the restaurants with the best views are also located away from the city center. Distances listed for out-of-town dining and lodging properties are measured in kilometers from the Bariloche Centro Cívico.
Impressive lake views from the upper floors make this waterfront lodging a standout in its price category. The property also boasts an outdoor terrace, Alpine accents in the pine roofbeams and floors, and a friendly, professional staff. The location—right behind the Centro Cívico—is unbeatable for those looking to stay in town.
This unassuming hotel on a busy downtown street has a spacious lobby with hardwood floors and stone accents; some rooms also have nice views into the neighboring garden. The entire lodging has gotten a makeover in recent years, so as long as ambience isn't a priority, this is a good bet for those seeking clean, tastefully appointed accommodations at reasonable prices.
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 peaceful complex consists of a large main hotel thronged by older, two-story log-and-stucco cottages on the lawns below. The latter have stone chimneys, well-tended gardens, and wooden decks that give them the appearance of private homes; bonus amenities include cypress-plank floors with radiant heat, carved wooden counters, and views of Nahuel Huapi Lake.
