I went to Argentina about 10 years ago but it was a very brief visit for business while in America. There were a lot of European languages spoken as you may expect but what surprised me was that it felt fresher there, not as busy or crowded. I wonder it is less populated on the whole? It had quite a nice vibe, so I wouldn’t mind going back but as a tourist to spend a few days exploring. Somewhere like the House of Jasmines would be spot on for unplugging and getting some peace and quiet while enjoying nature little more as it is nice to see some greenery rather than concrete jungles. I’m also quite tempted by the Los Cauquenes and Vines Resorts as both of these look quite contemporary with a little more to do, along with some pampering which I’ll never say no to on holiday.
Thanks for your comment Sarah. After 10 years you should definitely consider going there again. In regards to the languages – the offical language is spanish, however 1.5 millioon people speak Italian due to the Italian immigration in the 19th century. In total you can hear more than 30 different languages in Argentina.
That first paragraph is an introduction that reminds us that Argentina is a great destination for a visit with so much to see, do and enjoy. Personally, I wasn’t aware of how much top quality accommodation is available.
Thanks for your comment Steven. Indeed Argentinia is a amazing country with many cultural hightlights and a beautiful nature. I am glad you like the article and I hope you put Argentina on your bucket list.
What an amazing collection of pictures you have incorporated in the article!!! I am absolutely drooling over each of them. Deep down, I feel like booking a night in each of these grand destinations- very unpractical though, to pack and unpack like a nomad. By the way, what’s there in the first image?? It indeed looks chilling!
Hello Brian. I am happy you like the article and you feel the wanderlust. On the first picture you can see the Perito Mereno Glacier in Calafate. This glacier has a lenght of 30 Kilometers and is the world´s third largest reserve of fresh water.
I am considering a trip to Argentina anytime soon. And the list really helped me narrow down my accomodation options.
For a strict vegetarian, don’t you think that Casa de Uco is like the ideal choice- considering that the resort boasts farm to table sustainable food. I am assuming that they must also be offering a classic collection of some vegan-friendly wines.
(And of course, the infinity pool is also a major plus!)
Argentinan life is very close to the nature with strong agriculture. You are absolutely right that Casa de Uco has a biological approach with many vegetarian and vegan option. Also House of Jasmine and Lao Lao go in this direction. However in all the presented hotels you will enjoy their non-meat options – important is to let it know us or the hotel upfront in order to prepare it perfectly.
Something for everyone here. Colonial grandeur, rural beauty, infinity pools to die for and spectacular mountain scenery.
You bring it to the point, Jane! – Each region and each hotel is different and you need at least 2 weeks to cover and enjoy the different parts of the country. An amazing experience is waiting for each traveller there.
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping fact pertaining to Perito Mereno is that it is the only glacier in the world that is increasing in size rather than shrinking or retreating. This is quite rare of a phenomenon in itself.
During my business trip to Argentina last summer, I had several conferences and meetings scheduled at the famous Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires. This ultimately gave me the chance to try food at all the four restaurants of the hotel. And to be honest, they simply win hands-down amongst all my fine-dining experiences in the town. The best part was each restaurant boasted an ambience and setting different from the other and had their own wonderful selection of dishes and delectable specialities prepared by internationally recognized chefs. For instance, the Duhau Restaurante & Vinoteca is considered one of the best in town for its local Argentinian cuisine whereas the Gioia Restaurante & Terrazas presents guests with the best of Italian and other international food (the Sunday Buffet is a must try and regarded No.1 in whole of Argentina). Similarly, the Los Salones del Piano Nobile offers scrumptious snacks and pastries to satisfy your sudden hunger pangs or sweet cravings with a refreshing juice or evening tea and finally the Oak Bar gives a sneak peak into Argentina’s nightlife with a club-type atmosphere for the guests to enjoy a round of exquisite author cocktails or wines.
Hello Fei. I totally agree on your comment. The dining options in the Park Hyatt are fantastic and they understand how to get the local flavour combined with the international style. For each booking we add 100 USD F&B Credit with is good to have a dinner and even we offer free breakfast to all bookings. Also the rooms and the hotel in general is amazing – here we always offer a upgrade in order to enjoy the stay even more.
When I visited Argentina, I didn’t get the chance to discover all of its gems and beautiful spots because I was on a business trip and it was very sudden so I stayed in a hotel near the company’s office. I didn’t have the time to find a place to stay because everything was booked for me, and I must say, I missed on a lot. These hotels are amazing! And the views on some on them are just wow! I remember the first one being very similar to the hotel in the movie ‘John Wick’. The others are a pleasing mix of rustic and modern architecture with a welcoming vibe in them. I am really looking forward to visiting some of these hotels in the future, hoping to visit Argentina real soon.
You had your first impressions of Argentina already – the country offers a variety of cultures and hotspots. Seeing Buenos Aires gives you a good introduction but for sure you have to plan a trip and visit all this amazing regions outside the city. In my article I missed to tell about Estancia La Bamba De Areco which is a typical Hacienda about 2 hours outside of Buenos Aires. Even if you have to go their next time for business – try to extend 2 nights and make a visit.
Some of these are very impressive from the outside. Park Hyatt properties seem to be cropping up everywhere now in places I never knew they were. It’s good if you want continuity and to know roughly what you’re getting, and they have a loyalty program too I think. The House of Jasmines property is like the odd one out and yet I find that one the most charming. I’d love to be out in the middle of nowhere in somewhere comfortable like that right now, sounds pretty blissful.
