Description
Hostería del Lago is our top choice for this category in Bariloche. The rustic Alpine-style of the building is inviting, as is the indoor-outdoor pool situated on a deck overlooking the lake. For those needing more space, there are a few little cabin units that are popular with families. The staff is multi-lingual and very helpful. This hotel is seven kilometers outside of downtown Bariloche. If not traveling by car, expect to pay A$15 to get to and from the center.

Insider Tips
Don’t miss dining at El Patacon across the street, where President Clinton enjoyed an Argentine steak during his presidential visit.
