Los Ponchos Hotel  

Between steppe and glaciers on the shores of Lago Argentino, about 2 km from downtown El Calafate. You're within a 15-minute walk of the Bahía Redonda viewpoint and close to Avenida del Libertador.

A small, cozy hotel of roughly a dozen individually decorated guestrooms dressed with Hispano‑American art. Rooms come with kitchenettes, 42" LCD TVs, safes and minibars, and many offer impressive views of Lago Argentino and the big Patagonian skies.

Bar/lounge, snack bar/deli, garden and a communal living room set a relaxed vibe. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions, plus laundry/dry cleaning, vending machine, wedding services and free self‑parking. Wake up to lake views and brisk Patagonian air.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet and a computer station keep you connected — high-speed internet is available. Communal spaces and concierge support make small-group planning easy.

Complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 5:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Grab a quick bite at the snack bar/deli or unwind with a drink in the bar/lounge.
