Review

The Eolo Hotel, Patagonia, is one of the select group of hotels in Argentina that have been awarded membership of the Relais and Chateau group, it is easy to see why. Set outside of El Calafate, Eolo is perched on the side of a sweeping, Patagonian landscape that, due to the clever design of the rooms, literally flows right through the hotel. Located around a central courtyard, all of the rooms are comfortable and quiet and offer outstanding views.

Certainly one of the top hotels in the country, Eolo is a hotel that is operating right at the top of its game at the moment. Much of this is down to the clever design, with a central courtyard and all of the rooms facing out to the surrounding plains. What this allows is a shelter in the centre from the fairly incessant winds that are famous in the area, and for all of the rooms to have the view.

Another great feature of the Eolo Hotel is in the design, by using natural fibres and muted colours, it has allowed the true star of the show to be the surrounding grassland plains. Patagonia is an interesting place to visit more for its barrenness that its features…and this really comes through while staying here, without compromising the luxury aspect.

Added onto the physical attributes are the stunning food and wine that is served at all of the meals and the very high attention to detail and service that is displayed by the staff who make the place come alive. This hotel is truly one of the best hotels you will experience both in El Calafate but in South America. The downsides....? It is often fully booked!

Feedback

Eolo was magnificent. We loved our room and the view. It is a very comfortable hotel. We couldn’t fault it. The staff were great. The food was really good. The wine selection never disappointed.

The afternoon tea was irresistible even though we didn’t need it…. We did a couple of tours and had a great time.

We love Patagonia…we loved it the last time we went and we would go again in a flash. Eolo would be without a doubt the place we would want to stay. It was a memorable stay.

What a fantastic location.

Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble .

Points to note ; there isn’t a swimming pool now as it has been filled in .There is a sauna and they also do massages which were very good.There wasn’t any tea and coffee making facilities in the room which we missed .We had room 4 which backed onto the main corridor so was a bit noisy in the morning .The views were amazing from the rooms .Food was good and so were the wines.

Eolo hotel was amazing and, although very expensive, a most worthwhile experience. Excellent food, attentive service, wonderful location.

Great hotel in stunning location. As an all inclusive food was very good and the various activities offered were good. Walking on the ice was a fun experience and would highly recommend. Boat trip to the other glacier was ok but quite a long day - worth paying the upgrade to the Captains Cabin as it was very crowded elsewhere on the boat.

Eolo was top class. Great in every way: views, service, food, etc.. Not that it bothered us in any way but all the other guests were 70 years and above – just for your future reference.

The Eolo was one of those Hotels of which one would say ‘Why would you stay anywhere else?’
