La Cantera Hotel Boutique Calafate
AR
Hotel·Scenic, Informal, Rustic Leaning
Perched on a hill overlooking El Calafate, La Cantera Hotel Boutique Calafate provides a rustic and informal stay with a focus on the natural beauty of Santa Cruz. The hotel is known for its exceptional views of Lake Argentino, which can be enjoyed from many of the rooms and the shared terrace. While the accommodations have a dated feel and the walls are noted to be thin, the hotel offers a secure and comfortable retreat for those spending their days trekking and touring. It is situated about a 15-minute uphill walk from the main street, though the property provides a shuttle service and easy access to local taxis. With an on-site bar and restaurant, it offers a convenient and quiet alternative to the busier hotels in the town center.

La Cantera Hotel Boutique Calafate is frequently described as a solid, functional base for travelers focused on Patagonian adventures. Many guests highlight the stunning views of Lake Argentino and the exceptionally friendly service from the staff and bartender as the property's best features. However, the uphill location is a common talking point; while it provides peace and scenery, the 15-20 minute walk from the main street can be taxing without using the shuttle or a taxi. Inside, the rooms are often described as dated and in need of maintenance, with several reviewers noting that thin walls allow noise from neighboring guests to be heard clearly. Some guests reported technical frustrations such as inconsistent hot water and a lack of window screens to keep out mosquitoes. Despite these issues, the hotel remains a popular choice for its safety, comfort, and scenic positioning.
