Hostería Meulen  

On the shores of Lake Argentino, a short drive from El Calafate’s center (about 2 km). Close enough for Rivers of Ice departures and roughly 80 km from the Perito Moreno Glacier, this spot puts Patagonia’s big sights within reach while keeping you lakeside.

Warmly decorated rooms feature underfloor heating, a safe, hairdryer and minibar for cozy comfort after glacier days. The property offers a deck and an octagonal watchtower with views over the Nímez Lagoon Ecological Reserve and Lake Argentino—prime sunset territory. Reception has limited hours, so advise arrival time when booking.

Expect a bar, restaurant and café, plus wellness touches like a massage room and solarium. Free on-site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep logistics simple. Family-friendly extras include playrooms, a library and a picnic area, while ski area access and tour assistance make outdoor adventures easy to book.

Free wireless internet is available on the property and staff can assist with transfers, concierge services and car rental.

An on-site restaurant and bar showcase local Patagonian flavors, and a café pours potentially memorable coffee. Staff can point you to regional specialties to try after a day on the lake or the ice fields.
