El Chaltén Hotels

Aguas Arriba

A lakeside lodge deep in the heart of Patagonia with views of mount Fitz Roy, overlooking a hanging glacier and only accessible by boat, or a ​day hike. Aguas Arriba is a wonderful base for off the beaten track hiking, fishing or simply relaxing.

The hosts are friendly and with just six rooms it has a cosy atmosphere. Our number one recommendation in the El Chaltén/Fitz Roy area.

Explora

This stunning luxury lodge is nestled in the Los Huemules Reserve to the North of El Chaltén and borders Los Glaciares National Park. From here you can enjoy views of the Electric Valley and the Marconi Glacier.

Explora is a contemporary yet rustic lodge, influenced by traditional estancia designs and boasts delectable cuisine, a spa and stunning guided excursions.

Destino Sur

A very clean and comfortable hotel with modern, alpine-styled rooms, it's a big hit with travellers looking for a lovely place to come home to each night with a good breakfast for the morning.

You are less than a kilometre from Los Glaciares National Park and the hotel has a small indoor pool/spa, a sauna and mountain views from most of the rooms.

Customers also recognise the hard work of the staff at Destino Sur each year. 

Chaltén Suites

The Chaltén Suites is situated on the main street in town and has everything you'd need close by. It has a higher standard and level of comfort than most in town, with spacious rooms and friendly staff.

A perfect base if you are staying in El Chaltén for more than a couple of days.

Senderos

The staff are highly knowledgable and super friendly making the Senderos our favourite boutique hotel in El Chaltén. The rooms are on the cosy side but clever storage areas and neat bathrooms make this a great little haven for hiking.

On a clear day you'll be able to see the classic mountain line from your room and you are just a stone's throw from the bus station. Our customers rave about the breakfast buffet with mounds of cake, fruit, cereals and more.

Kaulem

This four-bedroom boutique hotel, with views of Fitz Roy from your room and breakfast table, feels like a home away from home. It is ideal for a small group of 6-8 people with a cosy sitting room and floor to ceiling glass so you really feel a connection with the mountains, even when indoors.

They also serve a mean breakfast that will turbo-power you into the hills.

Nothofagus

Just a 10-min walk from the bus station, you'll be made to feel right at home by the accommodating owners of this Swiss chalet-styled B&B. Already good value for a clean and cheerful stay, you can stretch your money even further by choosing one of their rooms that shares a bathroom between two.

Hostería El Paraíso

This hostería has a cosy and welcoming feel with a small bar. The rooms are basic and simply decorated. It's located close to the bars, restaurants and other amenities.

The views of Mt Fitz Roy on a clear day are simply breathtaking.

Estancias carry huge cultural significance in Patagonia. Historically, families would have survived on these working cattle farms, with gauchos roaming great distances across the mountains by horse.

Most estancias no longer operate as farms but still sit proudly on the land out in the wilderness, and have retained their rustic charm whilst opening their doors to guests.

Undoubtedly the best place to get a true taste of Patagonian culture, and to immerse yourself in the vast landscapes.
