The rooms
Blond wood floors and earthy tones keep interiors understated. Select suites place deep hydromassage tubs right beside lake-facing windows.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimmers drift from mosaic tiles indoors to a steaming open deck with panoramic views across Lake Nahuel Huapi.
The gym and sauna
Stone walls enclose the cardio machines and weight bench, and a dry sauna sits nearby.
Design Suites Restaurant
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out over Lake Nahuel Huapi, and the kitchen prepares Patagonian lamb and local trout.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
