Design Suites Calafate  

On the shores of Lago Argentino, a boutique luxury hotel just outside downtown El Calafate. About 1–2 km (roughly a mile) from Laguna Nimez, Bahía Redonda and the town center, with a regular shuttle to downtown for easy exploring.

Contemporary design meets Patagonian nature in 60 individually decorated rooms. Select rooms offer panoramic lake or forest views, walk-in closets, minibars and in-room jetted tubs or hot tubs with rainfall showers. Free outdoor parking and a calm, upper-peninsula setting make this a quiet base for glacier adventures.

Soak in the heated pool, unwind in the sauna or steam room, and choose spa treatments from a full-service wellness menu. A health club/fitness center and a library round out the leisure offerings. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions, and there’s laundry, dry cleaning and 24-hour reception on site.

A compact business center, meeting room and about 80 m² of event space are available. Complimentary wireless internet is provided throughout the property.

DESIGN RESTO serves meals and drinks from morning into the night, plus there’s a bar and a café for snacks. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily (early morning hours), and room service is available during limited hours.
