We stayed here for a total of three nights and truly loved the lodge feeling, spacious accommodations and views of Lago Argentino. The entire place looks like it belongs in aspen with animal hyde rugs and antler light fixtures. We got a corner room with a soaking tub that allowed you look out the window to the lake as you...

We had our reservations for New Years Eve, and besides paying the room normally, we had to pay an extra of $ 150 USD to attend the party on the Hotel Restaurant. The food was nothing special, but the worst came 25 minutes after MID Night, the D.J. had to leave to another party, so they said the party was... More

Hotel Esplendor is a modern, clean, wonderful hotel in an amazingly beautiful part of the world! Service - Overall, we found the service to be wonderful - from the day we checked in through our departure day. The front desk not only provided us with clear, detailed information regarding their services, but the also assisted us with planning a trip... More

The hotel is perched on a hill above the main street in Calafate. This gives the hotel beautiful views! As with the other reviews, the service was a bit lacking. The front desk staff were helpful but did not go out of their way to make us feel welcome. My wife and I each got a massage from the spa.... More

This is a really fantastic looking hotel and has a good location about 5 minutes walk from town and on top of a hill with great views of the surrounding landscape. Although everything about it looks the part of a designer boutique hotel we were a bit disappointed with some of the attention to detail in the place. On our... More

The Splendour Hotel in El Calafate, Argentina is situated on a hill, just off the avenida Libertador, which can be reached on foot or by taxi ($ 4).The hotel decor is weird, distasteful, lift very slow, bad parking and care of difficult access.The entrance of the hotel does not allow the arrival on vehicles, the rooms do not have air...

First the good news: nicely designed, great views. Excellent bar man who also seemed to run the restaurant - charming, efficient and well-mannered. However, the above was completely overshadowed by the most appalling receptionist that I have ever encountered in over fifteen years of travelling. Deliberately rude, evasive, unhelpful and obnoxious, I strongly suggest the owners send Antonella to charm... More

Sitting on a hilltop within a five minute walk to "downtown", the Esplendor has nice views of Lago Argentino (provided your room is facing that side). Staff at the reception desk treated us very politely although we walked in smelling like several days of trekking and horse riding with our backpacks on. The hotel's overall design and especially the rooms... More

The hotel is beautiful, cozy, clean, quiet... and it is walking distance from the main street in El Calafate. I think this is the best choice in El calafate. The Staff is kind and friendly, breakfast is very good and they have a heated pool where you can go and relax anytime. I definitely recommend this hotel.

The unprepossessing exterior belies the lovely interior to this hotel which is rather spectacular with its beautiful tastefully decorated lobby with huge sofas and table. There is a large desk area with two computers free of charge and free wi-fi in bedroom. The bar and restaurant are just down the steps from the lobby. Our room: we were on the... More
