Estancia La Quinta

Simple estancia-style hotel within Los Glaciares National Park – a quirkier and more typically Patagonian alternative to the conventional hotels in town.

Modelling itself on an estancia, La Quinta is actually a 30-room hotel. It is a little way out of town, within Los Glaciares National Park, which gives it a calm and secluded atmosphere and allows you immediate access to the extraordinary wilderness right on your doorstep. It’s an ideal choice for guests with the freedom to come and go by rental car or looking for an unpretentious, affordable bolt hole from which to explore.

Set within gardens below rugged hills which frame an iconic view of the Fitz Roy massif, Estancia La Quinta is a great base for hiking. The hotel’s décor is definitely on the old-fashioned side but rooms are comfortable enough and La Quinta makes for a more traditionally Patagonian alternative to the conventional hotels springing up in town. Its owners take care to ensure you have a memorable stay. You can order packed lunches for your day walks and they’ll happily give local advice.
