Hotel Las Torres Patagonia

Weathered wood and handwoven textiles define the hotel's main areas, creating a classic estancia atmosphere. The restaurant plates up traditional dishes straight from the property's organic garden and farm - try the house specialty slow-roasted lamb. The bar stocks an impressive selection of Chilean wines and local craft beers, perfect for post-hike relaxation. There's a small spa for muscle-soothing treatments, while the working stables maintain a fleet of horses for rides across the windswept pampas.

All 74 rooms embrace a distinctly Patagonian aesthetic with wooden furnishings and earthy tones. Each offers views of either the towering peaks or the wild Patagonian steppe, with cosy beds positioned to make the most of the vistas. The rooms are intentionally television-free, letting nature take centre stage through large windows. Heating is efficient - a welcome touch after those crisp mountain walks.
