El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park: Alto Calafate Hotel

Visit Us

Alto Calafate Hotel

The Alto Calafate Hotel is a large, modern hotel with a distinctively Patagonian appearance, situated on a peaceful hilltop on the outskirts of El Calafate. Its style could be described as low-key elegance, featuring simple, high quality furnishings and earthy colours that harmonise with, rather than overpower, the subtle shades of the wilderness skies and landscapes outside.

The chalet-style building has around 100 spacious and well-equipped guestrooms, each decorated in neutral shades. Many have magnificent lake views. There is also a bar, restaurant, and a spa complete with a heated pool from which you can gaze through floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows across the steppe and Lago Argentino to the mountains beyond.

What our experts say

This is a favourite option in El Calafate. Although it is further away from town, it is very comfortable with excellent attention to detail. The rooms themselves aren’t quite as nice as the public areas, but it is an excellent choice for couples or families. Outside town, it isn't suitable for anyone wanting to be close to shops, bars and restaurants.

Very comfortable but a little remote.

MK, Orkney | October 2016 | 50 - 65 | With Partner

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent

Great location and excellent service all round. Only issue was that the swimming pool was too warm.

SC, Cheltenham | January 2016 | 65 and over | With Partner

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent

Again, great setting/views and again, much preferred our choice than a downtown based hotel as first recommended. Good shuttle service. Good room.

CS, London | January 2016 | 35 - 50 | With Partner

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent

Is generally a very good hotel, but starting to look neglected on the outside.

SH, Sturminster newton | November 2015 | 65 and over | With Partner

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent


Great but you need to use the complimentary bus service to get to and from town

FA Preston | February 2015 | With Friends

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent

"The hotel needs an outdoor area to sit in - it was very sunny while we were there. Pool and poolside area were very overheated. Restaurant a bit pricey."

LT, London | March 2014 | 65 and over

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent

"Lovely view of the lake and room a good size. Breakfast ok, but the least good of all the hotels. Staff not very enthusiastic. Nothing wrong with it, but no atmosphere."

DH, Bristol | February 2014 | With Partner

Alto Calafate Hotel | Rating: Excellent
