5 Jaw-Dropping Luxury Hotels in Bariloche

I was recently deleting photos on my Iphone (I’ve got over 22,000!?!).  Scrolling through sooo many pictures can render you immune to beauty.  But when I stumbled on photos of Bariloche: it made me pause.  This place is SO GORGEOUS.  The only place in the States it rivals is Lake Tahoe.  But Bariloche may be prettier, with its soaring, craggy mountains & water everywhere, all converging into Huapi Lake.  Though it’s in Patagonia, which is known for its iconic hikes: you’ll find far more pampering here.  To that end, let’s check out “5 Jaw-Dropping Luxury Hotels in Bariloche.”

Map of Bariloche

Bariloche is located in northern Patagonia.  Because flights were so expensive, I took a 24-hour bus ride from El Chalten to Bariloche.  I would NOT do that again!  It was a terrible day of travel!!  Because Bariloche is fairly isolated, I HIGHLY recommend booking a flight here ~ & book early, as these flights sell out.

In a Rush? Here are My Favorite Bariloche Hotels:

  • 🏔️ Best Overall Luxury: Llao Llao Resort — The Iconic, Bucket-List Choice
  • ❤️ Best for Couples: Lirolay Suites — Romantic Rooms + Private Hot Tubs
  • 🎨 Best Boutique Hotel: El Casco Art Hotel — Sophisticated & Close to Skiing
  • 🍷 Best for Foodies: Las Balsas — Relais & Châteaux Luxury in Villa La Angostura

1. Llao Llao Hotel & Golf Resort

The Most Iconic Hotel in Patagonia!!

The most memorable, iconic hotel in Bariloche is undoubtedly: Llao Llao Hotel & Golf Resort.  During my two-week stay in Bariloche, I took a 17-mile bike ride that went right past the Llao Llao property.  All I can say is: WOW.  With its incredible location on top of a small hill, surrounded by panoramic mountains & lakes ~ this is one of the most magnificent hotel sites I’ve seen, anywhere in the world.

With 200+ rooms (in two different wings), five restaurants, an 18-hole golf course, indoor & outdoor pools, marina + beach, & health club with sauna & spa: this is one of the largest hotels in Bariloche.  It’s great for families, couples, & those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime kind of accommodation.
