Mendoza has flourished in recent years and options for accommodations in Mendoza have increased both in size and in quality. In the city, The Park Hyatt is the most glamorous and the most expensive option, however, B&Bs and apartment hotels have sprouted up offering homey rooms and personalized service.
If you plan to discover the wine region and you are not interested in city life, Chacras de Coria is the best place to stay. This picturesque village, just 15 minutes from the city is the gateway to the wine route and home to several restaurants and nightclubs. Cozy lodgings offer an unforgettable stay surrounded by nature, and in some cases just a few steps from the vineyards.
Note that prices go up significantly during the festival of Vendimia (Feb / March) as well as in the month of July.
I want to stay at the closest thing I can find to a hostel without staying in a group dorm.
