Must-see hotels in Argentina

  • Camping Cullumche

    Bariloche & the Lake District

    Well signed from Blvd Nahuel Huapi, this secluded but large lakeside campground can get very busy in summer, but when it’s quiet, it’s lovely.

  • Solar de la Quebrada

    Quebrada de Humahuaca

    Rooms at this cheapie are decorated with local art, but like so many places in the Quebrada, it suffers from absent owners. Still, a decent deal.

  • Hostería La Paleta del Pintor

    Bariloche

    Everything about this place screams ‘cute,’ but the rooms are big and airy, with small but spotless bathrooms and big-screen TVs. Good value.

  • Camping Municipal Malargüe

    Mendoza & the Central Andes

    At the northern end of town, 300m west of Av San Martín, this isn't much too look at, but is the closest place to camp. Bathrooms and showers.

  • Aguacanto

    Quebrada de Humahuaca

    At Aguacanto spruce rooms and apartments surround a lawn featuring hammocks and one of Tilcara’s most amazing views. The service is friendly.

    Very standard and slightly spacious rooms just uphill from the plaza. It's the cheapest in town and not a bad deal as long as you're not fussy.

    Córdoba & the Central Sierras

    A good choice for duplex cabins that sleep four to six people. There's a swimming pool and lots of outdoor spaces, and the service is friendly.

    Mendoza & the Central Andes

    There's nothing really flash going on here, but the rooms are a decent size and the downtown location can't be beat. Good value for the price.
