Stylish lodge combining a warm, homely atmosphere with an emphasis on putting the spectacular natural views centre stage.

This spacious, attractive lodge – close to the boundary of the Torres del Paine National Park – enjoys superb views of the peaks and towers of the vast granite massif which dominates this extraordinary Patagonian wilderness. The hotel’s tasteful, fresh décor and furnishings are certainly easy on the eye, with muted Patagonian greys and tawny browns complementing the wonderful setting. The sense of space is not just on the outside: the lobby and restaurant are also remarkably roomy and we recommend the superior guest rooms for their ample picture windows and impressive views. A number of excursions can be booked from the hotel, including short walks and full day hikes, boat trips and horse riding. Meanwhile, the hotel’s pool, sauna and spa facility is a fine place to soothe weary limbs after a day in the great outdoors.
