The personnel working there is brilliant! They do everything possible to make you feel at home including laundry service, welcome drinks everyday, a very generous breakfast and a turn down service every evening which you wouldn’t expect for this type of hotel. On top of that, Mariano, the owner, is omnipresent also helping to organize guides ahead of time and, if you’re lucky, taking you around the area himself!

The hotel is probably one of the best in El Calafate. The room we booked was comfortable and nice. We had some changes to the plans and dates and the staff was really helpful. Many thanks to them. They were always very friendly and positive. Breakfast was good. The food at the restaurant was really tasty. We didn't try the spa facilities but they looked really nice.

Amazing stay at a boutique hotel a few minutes drive from the main street. The owner and staff were friendly and exceptional. From the breakfast, which they serve to your room every morning to the recommendations and accessibility to excursions and the beautiful view, I would stay here, time and time again. Some of the nicest people we met during our entire trip. The rooms are clean, the service is impeccable and they always made a point to clean the rooms between the times we were out before we got back in.

FAQs about hotels in El Calafate

Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

I did 2 glacier tours, and one day took the bus to el chalten. The town itself is very charming, and one early morning when I was looking for a pharmacy, I had an escort of 4-8 local stray (and very friendly) dogs.

We stayed two nights in El Calafate, visited Mereno Glacier national park for a day, another day, relaxed in the city. we really enjoyed walking along the Argentina river walkway, also visited nature conservancy, there are so many waterfowls in the lake (river), first time saw black neck swan, I wished I brought binocular with me to enjoy the bird watching. It supposes to have Grebe's and Flamingos, dozens of species. the first week of April, all the tall trees leave in the city are changing to golden yellow Fall color, with Spanish style houses, it is really a pretty and warm town. with delicious food and drinks. Really enjoyed

Loved the All glaciers boat trip - well organized with plenty of time to enjoy the ride and the views. We went with SoloPatagonia and found it perfect for us. It takes all day, but we had time to drive to Perito Moreno Glacier and enjoy a shot visit before the closed. We found El Calafate has great restaurant options, ice cream shops and shopping. Another day, we drove to Chalten and completed one of the hikes looking at Fitz Roy mountain... loved the town of Chalten, the vibe, restaurants and nature. We would like to come back and stay there at least one night to complete more hikes.

This is a great little town which has some eccentiricies - there's no zoning so you have car repair and other businesses in the middle of single family neighborhoods, and LOTS of dogs roaming around and (especially in the middle of the night) loudly. barking at each other whether singly or in packs. Weird. Outside that, lots of restaurants on the main drag, LOTS of small lodging opportunities scattered among residential housing - tourist-friently, relatively safe. English (at least fluent) is less common here, but manageable for English-native speakers willing to work at it.

The location is great, it's very central and close to the main street. Breakfast was good too, hostels in Argentina tend to be incredibly cheap with breakfast but this one had eggs (a luxury compared to other hostels in the country!), bread, cereal, milk, fruits and coffee. The building is beautiful and it has several common spaces so it's great for solo travelers, you can make friends easily.

We travelled Brazil and Argentina for a month and can safely say Patagonia Queen was our favourite stay! More than anything the staff especially Rafael was the most obliging, kind and fun host! We enjoyed a welcome drink on arrival at the hotel and each day received some excellent tips on how to spend our time in El Calafate.
