The hotel is located in the Barrio Manantiales in front of Lake Argentino, 2 km or 5 minutes by car from a shopping centre and 200 metres from Principal Avenue. The centre of El Calafate is about 2 km away. Los Glaciares National Park is about 80 km from the establishment. The complex has 43 squares that are divided into 8 parts, an apartment and a cottage. It also has two spacious glass conservatories, reminiscent of their English counterparts, overlooking the garden from where guests can enjoy a good breakfast, tea or just a quiet read (the hotel also offers a specialised library with Patagonian themes). The warm décor enforces and restores the values and traditions of a rich culture that is not to be forgotten. The Spanish-American art collection makes any stay at the hotel a truly Argentine experience. The highly personalised service and the quality and comfort of the facilities ensure guests enjoy a warm and different hotel experience.
