Top El Chalten Hotel Reviews

Destino Sur Hotel & Spa de Montaña

Destino Sur Hotel & Spa de Montaña

10/10 Excellent
"While it was my first visit to El Chalten, I could just sense that Destino Sur is the best hotel in town. The entire hotel provided an excellent ambiance mixing both classic and modern tastes. Room was lovely, spacious and clean. Loved the wooden floor all around. Staff were most helpful answering all the questions and requests with courtesy and friendliness. Food at the restaurant was a top class. Sauna and jacuzzi provided relaxing after an intense hiking. Location was great close to all hiking trails. Will definitely go back."
