Built on the land where the first creole and European immigrants originally set foot, EOLO embodies the spirit of Patagonia. This elegant hideaway feels completely remote but is actually within 45 minutes' drive of El Calafate and Los Glaciares National Park. Lying among a 10,000-acre estate, surrounded by snow-dusted mountains and grassy plains, there are incredible vistas from every window in the hotel. 17 rooms are individually designed and exude a simple, understated elegance with a neutral colour palette, antique furniture pieces and comfortable chairs from which to admire the panoramic views. The hotel has its own guide to help plan activities around the area, whether mountain cycling, trekking, bird watching or riding. Slightly further afield, Perito Moreno and Upsala Glaciers are within easy reach. The food is a real highlight of EOLO.
