When Araucans and Tehuelches peoples roamed the region, Tunquelén, meaning "restful place" was a massive rock where natives used to seek refuge. During the 1930s, the talented Ernesto Estrada designed and had built the Hotel Tunquelén, one of his great Andin-style masterpieces, enhancing the body of lakes in the south.
Places to stay
This boutique-hotel located in the heights of the San Pedro peninsula forest, 23 km away from San Carlos de Bariloche, offers an impressive view of the Cerro Lopez Moutains, and the banks of the Nahuel Huapí Lake banks. The tranquility of these parts, the impeccable taste of every detail, and the warm atmosphere, as well as excellent regional cuisine and personalised services make this hotel an unmatched choice to take advantage of the Patagonia region.
Pamper yourself at Charming, enjoying a private spa in the intimacy of your suite or residence, with an unbeatable view over the lake and mountains. The intelligence of its recreational architecture is generous in all of its variants. From outside this beautiful lodge has the appearance of a small alpine village, with its wooden constructions and its roofs oriented like balconies over the wood covered rocks with view over the lake and mountains.
The views are really memorable, the decks...
Combining the natural setting with the city services, Lirolay Suites is beautifully designed and located inside the Nahuel Huapi National Park, and is decorated with elements of the zone, like its floors made of cypress wood.
An authentic architectural jewel in a beautiful natural setting, the Hotel Design Suite Bariloche blends style, vanguard and nature to perfection.
