Relaxing hotel with the best views of the Lake. Great to have a fulsome breakfast in a bright, open space. The staff was super helpful and friendly. While the location is out of town, due to the proximity to the lake, the shuttle service helps you get back and forth easily.

Overall, a great stay and the nicest place we stayed on a trip that had two separate stays in Calafate and a stay in chalten. Breakfast options were limited but better than other places we stayed. The pool looks bigger in the pictures that it is in real life. Happy with our stay

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I thought the room and property were quite nice, new building and beautiful. However, the expensive dinner I had tasted mass produced: frozen burger patty, air fryer fries, soufflé from a box. For the price I think it’s overvalued, I liked the view but this was too high for the quality. Service was also slow.

Our stay at Design Suites Hotel in El Calafate was absolutely fantastic—easily one of the best places to stay in the area. The highlight? Without a doubt, the breathtaking view of Lake Argentino. If you’re booking, make sure to reserve a room facing the lake—it’s truly unforgettable, especially at sunrise and sunset. The hotel itself was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. We also found that having a rental car made a big difference. It gave us the flexibility to easily access the main street in El Calafate and explore the surrounding areas without any hassle. Overall, a perfect blend of comfort, scenery, and convenience—highly recommended for anyone visiting Patagonia.
