Hotels and inns in El Chaltén

Absolutely. elchalten.com isn't a booking call center based in some far-off country — we live in El Chaltén and know each host personally, in several cases since they first started their business. When you send an inquiry or booking request to any of them, you're reaching a real, verified person.

The hotels in El Chaltén offer a wide range of options to suit every need and budget. Standard rooms and suites, full breakfast, satellite TV in the rooms and free Wi-Fi are common to all of them.

Depending on the hotel, services can include a gym, spa, heated pool or a hot tub in the room. Another widespread service in this category is the hotel's own restaurant and bar, where you can try regional dishes, Argentine wines, coffee and cocktails.

Generally not. All hotels sit on fairly small lots because of the size of El Chaltén's urban area, so you won't find services such as covered parking or outdoor recreation areas (tennis courts, mini golf, etc.).

You could say they are almost the same. Inns (hosterías) offer rooms with breakfast included in the price, with facilities similar to those of a small hotel, but simpler. They generally have a more relaxed atmosphere than hotels and are often run by their owners.

They usually include Wi-Fi, lounges, a bar and even a restaurant. Other services you'll find at some inns are a telephone in each room, satellite TV, a safe, laundry, luggage storage and a minibar.

They are closer to "all-inclusive" stays, because they are in remote places, far from the urban area of El Chaltén, which allows an intimate and exclusive contact with the mountain environment. You can find them in the Mountain Lodges and Mountain Refuges sections.
