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.

    PC, London

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

    FA Preston

  • "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

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

    SH, Sturminster newton

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

    SC, Cheltenham

  • Very comfortable but a little remote. 

    JS, Sevenoaks

  • Adequate with pro-active service.

    HB, Bristol

  • "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."
