Review

Located right at the end of the Avenida St Martin, the main street in the town, the Cilene del Faro could not be better placed for those looking to take in a bit of the local ambience. The rooms for the hotels are fairly simple inside, but on one side offer great views out to the Beagle Channel and to the other to the mountains. Offering a good-sized pool and spa facilities, this is a good choice.

The first of the two 4 star properties in the town itself, the Cilene del Faro is a good option on the whole as it is set at the end of the main street, Avenida St Martin, and yet has a peaceful and quiet feel to it. As with most hotels in Argentina above a certain number, the rooms are not vast on the whole but, its saving grace is that it offers, as the standard room, a suite and so, while the bedroom is not huge, you have a whole other room in which to relax and sit down etc.

Being located at the end of the main street has given this hotel almost the best of both worlds. It allows you the freedom to be able to wander out in the evening for a drink or two as well as a choice of restaurants, and, when you wake up in the morning and look out the window, you don’t see a raft of other buildings. They have made the most of this feature with their rooftop bar that has some great views out to the mountains...all in all probably the best hotel in the town.

Good location, service, facilities

Main communal areas are a bit convoluted, a few rooms dated

    Arakur Ushuaia Hotel & Spa - Outside view

    Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa

    There is no doubt that when the Arakur Hotel was conceived, it was to ruffle the feathers of the other high end properties of the region and to try and challenge the Alpine style of the competition. The imposing granite and copper structure sits atop the hills at the edge of town, looking down... More...

    Las Hayas Resort Hotel

    Set up in the mountains that overlook the town, Las Hayas Resort Hotel has long been the place to stay in the Tierra del Fuego. Today, we are not so sure if it should still hold this mantle. The views from the hotel are undeniably stunning, looking out to the Beagle Channel and the town, but it is... More...

    Hotel Las Lengas - Exterior View

    Las Lengas Hotel

    A sister property to the Albatros, Las Lengas Hotel has recently had a refurbishment and so has the look and feel of a contemporary hotel as you walk in. The best feature of the hotel is the view from the dining area. The rooms are fairly simple and, in our view, could be seen as being a bit small... More...

    Hotel Albatros

    The Hotel Albatros is the second of the 4 star hotels in the town and so would suit those who are looking to explore a little. The main areas of this reasonable sized hotel are to a good standard, as is the restaurant, café and wine cellar at the front. The rooms, however, are in need of a bit of... More...

    Macondo House - Fireplace

    Macondo House

    A small guest house, located on the hill that overlooks the town, the Macondo House is, very much, a smaller and more intimate property than many of the others in town. Only featuring 7 rooms, some with view and some without, the guest house focuses on personal service. At a good price, it is... More...
