We loved our stay here! My husband and I were here for our honeymoon and we had a great time. The hotel, which is very modern and cool, sits right on Lago Argentino and has amazing lake views. The hotel staff was so helpful and very nice -the front desk staff, waiters, pool up-keepers- they all spoke great English too!... more

Let's be honest here - there is only one reason you are coming to El Calafate - Perito Moreno Glacier. One of the wonders of South America, no doubts. But the "town" itself stinks. There is one paved road crossing it with a few decent restaurants and backpacking stores. Almost all the hotels are spread out around the area with... more

We booked at the Design Suites Calafate with high expectations after a positive experience at the much older Design Suites Bariloche. The Calafate hotel has a striking design (from a distance) and is beautifully situated on a bluff overlooking Lago Argentino. The common areas and rooms are reasonably nice, but it is clear that attention to detail is lacking with... more

The hotel is in a great location, with excellent views.Our suite did not have a lake view, but it did not matter, since we did not spend much time in it. I agree with a previous review, the rooms do not have ventilation. The staff was very attentive. The hotel has a shuttle running between it and downtown Calafate, free,... more

I’ll go straight to the point: Pros: - Nice location with superb views of the lake - Comfortable rooms if you have a lake view(with some negatives). - Average breakfast. Too many pastries (it felt like an afternoon tea time) - Comfortable design lobby, bar and restaurant - Beautiful pool area - Friendly staff. Unlike previous comments, we had a... more

I very much enjoyed my stay at this hotel, however I should preface that most of my time was spent enjoying the glaciers and dining downtown rather than living it up at the hotel. However, for my time spent at the hotel, I was pleased by the service, enjoyed the hotel atmosphere and was impressed by the rooms. There are... more

We had a luxury suite at the far end of the building, with a breathtaking view of Lake Argentina and snow capped mountains across the horizon. When we arrived, we were treated to a split of Chandon champagne to welcome us on our honeymoon, delivered to our room. Little canapes showed up a few minutes later, delivered by another staff... more

We were worried about the water problems referred to in previous reviews. We were reassured by Veronica who was very helpful and professional. We were not sorry we chose to stay. Superb location on the edge of the lake, yet convenient to town with the hotel's free and frequent shuttle service. Rooms were spacious, breakfast and lunch were excellent. All... more

Hotel tries to be hip and contemporary although fails at most attempts. Although clean, the property shows a lot of wear and tear for its age. Our luxury suite had no less than 3 things broken, including the sink. Staff was not that friendly and rarely smiled, unlike most of the locals who went out of their way to be... more
