6 Best Hotels in Wine Regions, Argentina

Bright white walls with colorful art and slick modern furniture decorate this central four-story hotel, which offers good value, if simple, lodgings in San Juan.

This 1928-built adobe farmhouse on the main street is a gathering place for like-minded lovers of all that Barreal has to offer: good books and music are noticeable in the living room, comfort food comes from the kitchen, and the quaint rooms lead out onto an ample garden. The stark simplicity of brick or cement floors contrasts with the fanciful folk art and themed room decor (some are devoted to Argentine icons and Indigenous people, others to native flora and fauna).

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.

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.

This apart-hotel is housed in a three-story building overlooking a large park. It's about 14 blocks from downtown but within walking distance of an up-and-coming area with restaurants and shops. All rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and kitchenettes with counters for eating or writing.

This resort-like hotel on the outskirts of town has a spacious lawn, pool with swim-up bar, and casual restaurant, giving children plenty of space to play and offering respite from a busy day sightseeing.
