NOI HotelsTimber fjord lodge
The lodge operates as an indoor journey for Patagonian voyagers, winding upward through timber footbridges toward the water.
What it’s good at
Notable
A treated eucalyptus screen rises through suspended footbridges and native lenga interiors.
Notable
Rooftop glass-fronted hot tubs look across the fjord beside regional red-seaweed therapies.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The waterfront promenade sits right outside along the fjord, and the town center's restaurants are a short walk away.

The rooms
Rooms are lined in native lenga wood and pale pine, with select spaces looking directly toward the mountains.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An angular pool sits on the rooftop deck, looking out over the water toward distant mountains.
The hot tubs
Indoor hydrotherapy jets look out across the water, and an outdoor tub bubbles on the open deck.
The spa
Canopied daybeds sit beneath reed ceilings, and a wood-burning stove warms the glass-walled relaxation lounge.
At the table
Kosten serves regional Patagonian fare behind panoramic windows, and the adjoining bar mixes local pisco sours.
How it began
Architect Sebastián Irarrázaval hollowed out a historic Patagonian house on site, bracing it in steel to anchor the restaurant.
