Where to stay in Argentina and Chile

When travelling with Argentina Travel Plan you'll stay at accommodation with lots of local charm, entirely befitting the area you're visiting. For each of our Argentina adventure tours and Chile tours, we searched for the most authentic small-scale accommodation available in each area. We avoided the larger, faceless hotels and instead tried to add as much variety as possible to the types of accommodation we offer. That's why you might start off your trip at a boutique hotel or you may even experience true Argentine hospitality at a working estancia in the pampas. A little later on you might find yourself spotting whales from your bedroom window or sitting on a soft sheep skin chair at a cosy Patagonian hosteria. Our dedicated travel specialists will help you find just the right combination of interesting places to stay at.  

Each accommodation has been handpicked and selected based on a combination of its location, atmosphere, quality of service and price. Have a look below to see what you can expect to find in each accommodation category. Click on the arrow next to each category to see more photos.

Special Stay Accommodation
- Category 4

Location and comfort are the two most important factors when selecting suitable hotels for this accommodation category. Our choice of hotels in this category are priced slightly higher than our standard accommodation but it offers you something extra special. 

Our special stay accommodation offers you either a unique view of your surroundings or a little something extra in terms of atmosphere or quality of facilities. Our boutique hotel in the 'tango district' of Buenos Aires falls into this category and so does our estancia (working ranch) that you stay at during our gaucho trip. We can upgrade in most places, so please ask your travel specialist on tips on where to add a special stay to your itinerary.

Comfortable Accommodation
- Category 3 
Standard for Argentina Travel Plan

A warm and inviting atmosphere, small scale-charm, cleanliness and a favourable location are our top priorities for this category and this includes most of the accommodation that we offer. A sense of privacy and some comfort are also important during travel, so we'll book a private room with an en-suite bathroom for you as well.

You can expect a colonial-style hotel on our Salta trip or a traditional hosteria as in our Perito Moreno glacier tour. The accommodation in this category is generally selected for its surroundings, helping you to get the best out of the destination you are visiting.  

Simple Accommodation
- Category 2

Sometimes, when deciding where to stay in Argentina and Chile, there aren't too many options, or accommodation isn't as important as what you'll experience when you step out of the door. Our simple accommodation category offers you modest, yet reasonably comfortable accommodation options. 

When you take our Patagonia trek you'll spend the night in a peaceful lodge in a village situated right in the heart of Los Glaciares National Park. The rooms are simple but they have all the necessary amenities. Similarly, during our Atacama trip you will spend the night in a cozy hostel on the edge of the Atacama desert. The hostel has all the facilities that you will require for your stay here. 

Basic Accommodation
- Category 1

In this category you really will be going back to basics! When you go on our dramatically beautiful Torres del Paine National Park trek you will be staying in a refugio (Spanish for shelter). You'll sleep in a bunk bed and you'll share facilities with other hikers. Although the shelter is basic, we find that spending the night in a refugio is a great way to meet fellow trekkers and share travel stories. This really adds to your overall trekking experience! If you extend your Torres del Paine trip and book our W-trek then you will get the opportunity to stay at several different refugios along the way. 

We also include overnight bus trips in this category of accommodation. Each of our buses has a toilet on board and fully reclining chairs, making it easier to sleep.
