Large modern hotel in a peaceful natural setting overlooking Lago Argentino, with a low-key, distinctively Patagonian elegance.

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 clients say

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

    FA Preston Feb 2015

  • Good facilities all round - rooms, pool etc. Shuttle to town is ok.  Breakfasts are somewhat underwhelming 

    PC, London Feb 2018

  • Adequate with pro-active service.

    HB, Bristol Apr 2017

  • "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 Mar 2014

  • Very comfortable but a little remote. 

    JS, Sevenoaks Apr 2018

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