FAQs about hotels in El Calafate







Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

    The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful.

    The personnel at the hotel was tremendously helpful. They helped me in a difficult situation where I had to buy airline tickets on an emergency basis. They helped organize an excursion, a trip to Perito Moreno and to organize transportation for my group of 13 to and from the airport. My room was beautiful; in fact, all of our rooms were wonderful. This is a quiet place.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier. I thought we could do more to make an extra day worthwhile but the tours to visit the other parts of the park were super expensive. All tours in the area were way too pricey and you can’t really do anything else without a tour. The restaurants are good, but in general I think Chaltén has a lot more to do and see.

    I am a tour guide and I come to calafate with groups, at the end of my work I have a day or two of rest for myself. it is a beautiful city. although it should improve its internet service (it is regular everywhere) and they have too many dogs loose in the streets although they are not aggressive.

    El Calafate is the place to be for visiting the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the Big Ice Adventure with Hiele Aventura and it was amazing. The town itself is fine but very touristy. The waffle café elba'r and the Patagonia Brewery were the best places we went to eat and drink. The Glaciarium was interesting, a very text-heavy museum, lots to read. We went to the Ice Bar there too, however I'd already been to the same concept in another city - if you've been to one, you've been to them all.

    Pretty good wifi - I was able to work remotely and hop on video calls with multiple participants, and access iCloud and keynote. At times, I would get a notice that my connection was unstable, so videos would automatically turn off. But I think this would be one of the best places to work from in El Calafate. The location is excellent, and the family who runs the hotel is very kind and helpful. I had a wonderful time. The kitchen in my unit was also well stocked with a pan, pot, salt and utensils.

    Cute family run apart hotel with individual apartments. It has everything you need for a few days stay in El Calafate, mainly great location: 5-10 min to all the shops/restaurants, 5 mins to the supermarket and there’s a nice bakery just around the corner. The apartment itself was very clean, warm and the shower pressure in the bathroom was great. The owner and her daughter were very friendly and you could tell that a lot of love went into creating a nice ambience.

The hotel is only 15-20 minutes walk to the main street and downtown El Calafate which the restaurants are. The owner and staff are very nice , helping you with any question that you have.
