Eolo – Patagonia’s Spirit

This boutique lodge is set on a private estate of over 10,000 hectares just outside of El Calafate, offering majestic panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The overall feel of the property is that of a remote Patagonian estancia, yet you are just a stone’s throw from the Los Glaciares National Park.

The decor is the definition of understated elegance, and the rooms and public spaces are furnished with antique furniture, artwork, and photography from the family’s collection. The lodge is all-inclusive, including meals at the gourmet restaurant as well as wine, alcoholic drinks, and afternoon tea. A selection of activities on the estate, such as guided treks and mountain biking, is also included. The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is a must-see, too. After a day of exploration, you can relax with a massage, ease tired muscles in the sauna, or perhaps enjoy a cocktail in one of the lodge’s many cozy corners as you bask in the immensity of the Patagonian plains.

Hotel Pros

Only 30 minutes from El Calafate airport, yet the hotel still feels fabulously remote and is also only the same distance from the Los Glaciares National Park (closer than hotels located in the town)
Spectacular Patagonian views from nearly every window in the property
Beautiful countryside for hiking on your own, setting out straight from the lodge
As expected from a Relais & Chateaux, the restaurant is superb, the perfect balance between fine dining and hearty local cuisine

Hotel Cons

There is an extensive and excellent activity menu, but excursions outside of the estancia – including visits to the Perito Moreno glacier – have an additional cost
There are no TVs in the rooms, but with a view like this, we promise you, you won’t miss it!
