The Singular Patagonia
Puerto Natales, Chile
Puerto Bories
Vibe
Arrive via a glazed funicular descending into a preserved 1915 factory, where Victorian steam engines and brick corridors frame the sound.
“Industrial fjord outpost”
Restored century-old brickwork and blackened steel balance modern additions, framing dramatic Patagonian fjords through expansive panoramic glazing.
Dedicated guides lead all-inclusive fjord excursions, complemented by heated bathroom floors and fine Egyptian cotton linens.
A 1915 cold-storage plant and national monument showcasing preserved British steam boilers, condensers, and Victorian machinery.
On the shores of Last Hope Sound in Puerto Bories, framed by fjords and Patagonian mountains.
“a hotel that takes the idea of industrial chic to dizzying new heights.”
Rooms
Six-meter panoramic windows frame views of Last Hope Sound, complemented by custom leather furnishings and heated bathroom floors.
“The roughness of the design and the ruggedness of the setting amplify each other.”
Wellness
A heated indoor-outdoor hydrotherapy pool lets you swim beneath a glass pane into crisp fjord air, alongside a scenic sauna.
“the hallways are still stocked with brightly colored machinery—from steam condensers to boilers and forges—all stamped with the name of the British city…”
Backstory
Built in 1915 as a cold-storage plant, the waterfront complex was declared a national monument before the founders' descendants revived it.
Eat & drink
Dine on Magellanic lamb beneath soaring timber rafters at The Singular Restaurant, or enjoy open-fire meats at the old blacksmith forge.
The neighborhood
Set on the quiet shores of Puerto Bories, the property sits five kilometers north of Puerto Natales along Last Hope Sound.
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.
