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.
Inside this posh mountain lodge, every detail—varnished pine beams, kilim rugs, stone hearths, all-wood floors—is chosen to convey an aura of rustic luxury, while outside, Lago Gutiérrez shimmers through the trees on the surrounding lawn. The combination makes this a great place to curl up with a book or lounge in a hammock. Prefer to expend some energy? No problem—just sign up in the lobby for the day's activities, which include kayaking, horseback riding, and folk-music concerts with Andean instruments.
This charming country cottage is surrounded by more than an acre of forest and offers simple rooms that are clean, quiet, and filled with natural light. Here, the family-friendly vibe oozes from every detail, whether it be the cozy dining room or the homemade breads and jams served at breakfast. The B&B's owners are a family of Slovenian migrants who have kept the business up over three generations, so when you're not chatting with them over pastries, they're happy to give you a tour of the sprawling grounds. The latter come complete with fruit orchards and an organic garden.
On a quiet street surrounded by well-tended gardens, this perfectly proportioned Tyrolean villa in Barrio Belgrano (Bariloche’s nicest neighborhood) is only four blocks from the city center, but it feels a world away. The owners are mountaineers and skiers, and their photos decorate the walls of the dining room, where homemade breads and jams are served to guests who gather at breakfast or teatime.
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.
