Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Vibe
Roaring fireplaces and warm timber lounges welcome travelers returning from daily glacier treks and horseback rides across the Patagonian steppes.
“Modernist Patagonian expedition flagship”
All-inclusive guided expeditions, private airport transfers, curated Chilean wine tastings, and hydromassage tubs in every room.
Over forty guided expeditions, private equestrian stables, and catamaran crossings across turquoise Lake Pehoe.
Traditional spit-roasted lamb barbecues at The Quincho, paired with estancia horseback rides across Patagonian steppes.
Inside Torres del Paine National Park on Lake Pehoe, surrounded by the Paine Massif and glacial peaks.
“The boxy modernist lodge stands just yards from the Salto Chico waterfall, with the peaks of the Paine massif looming just behind.”
Rooms
Blonde lenga wood wraps minimalist interiors, where hydromassage soaking tubs and wide picture windows look onto Lake Pehoe and jagged peaks.
Wellness
A wooden boardwalk leads to Casa de Banos Ona, featuring an indoor lap pool and open-air hot tubs beside the Paine River.
Backstory
Architect Germán del Sol shaped the 1993 lodge like a low-profile white ship anchored along the shores of Lake Pehoe.
Eat & drink
Guests gather at the Explorer's Bar to map hikes over pisco sours, followed by spit-roasted lamb at the outdoor Quincho.
The neighborhood
Set deep inside the national park, the lodge sits steps from Salto Chico waterfall with immediate access to surrounding mountain trails.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
