WHAT WE LOVE
We visited here in January, 2015.
The circulation. You discover the building through an ingenious system of ramps, steps, stairs and bridges. Along the way, there are comfortable nooks to curl up in to read a book, have a drink or watch other guests find their rooms.
The materials. The exterior cladding evokes traditional sheep sheds and shipping containers. Well done.
The rooftop spa. Great place to unwind and contemplate nature with incredible views of the sea.
The location. Centrally located in the town of Puerto Natales, it’s easy to walk to local restaurants and gear up for outdoor activities. Torres del Paine is an easy day trip away.
