Suites Bariloche
Contemporary boutique lodge. Design-forward without being cold. Stone, leather, and rough-hewn wood offset by polished concrete and modern furniture. Attracts a younger, design-savvy Argentine crowd plus visiting Europeans. The lobby flows into the resto bar in open loft style.
Upgrade to at least a Suite for the jacuzzi-by-the-window experience — it's the thing that makes this property memorable.
Why It Matters
The most stylish address in San Carlos de Bariloche proper — the only quality boutique hotel a short cab ride from downtown restaurants and nightlife. Won a Luxury Lifestyle Award for Scenic View Hotel. Listed in both Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. The signature move: jacuzzis positioned outside the bathroom, facing floor-to-ceiling windows with lake or forest views.
Design Suites Bariloche sits right across the road from Nahuel Huapi Lake on a hillside at Km 2.5 of Bustillo Avenue — close enough to town to walk in 30 minutes, far enough to feel like an escape. Four eco-inspired buildings spread across a wooded slope, housing 78 rooms and suites, a restaurant with floor-to-ceiling lake views, a wine bar, a contemporary art gallery, and a health club with an indoor/outdoor heated pool. The architecture leans futuristic lodge: curved concrete walls of glass, blond wood floors, stone fireplaces with sleek leather couches — not your alpine kitsch.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
The entry-level room at 26 sqm. Small but designed thoughtfully — blond wood floors, earthy palette, and a hydromassage tub in the bathroom. Views face the garden and forest, not the lake. Queen or twin beds; fits up to 2 guests. No extra bed option.
Queen or Twin · 26 sqm
Junior Suite
At 45 sqm, these are really spacious studios rather than true suites. Think of them as a generous step up from Classic — more room to breathe, a dedicated work desk, and the signature hydromassage tub. Fits 1–2 guests.
Queen or Twin · 45 sqmLuxury Suite (Suite de Lujo)
The signature room at Design Suites Bariloche. 65 sqm with lake views and — the defining feature — a free-standing hydromassage tub positioned outside the bathroom, directly in front of the floor-to-ceiling bedroom windows. You are essentially soaking in a jacuzzi while watching Nahuel Huapi Lake. Fits up to 3 guests via sofa bed. Comes with an electric kettle.
Queen or Twin · 65 sqmSuite
55 sqm with a private balcony, sofa bed, and the full suite amenity package. Can accommodate up to 3 guests (extra charge for a third via sofa bed). A good choice for couples wanting space to spread out without going all-in on a Luxury Suite.
Queen or Twin · 55 sqmTwo-Room Suite (Suite 2 Ambientes)
The largest category at 80 sqm, and the practical choice for families or longer stays. Separate bedroom and living/dining area, a kitchenette with microwave and full cutlery, and a hydromassage bathroom. Garden views (not lake). Fits up to 4 guests with a sofa bed.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A contemporary art gallery on site showcasing Argentine artists. One of the things that sets this apart from other Lake District hotels. Worth a slow walk-through even if you're just staying a night.
An on-site kids' club/playroom for younger guests. Good option for families with children.
The hotel has an on-site travel agency that can book excursions throughout the Lake District: Isla Victoria boat trips, Cerro Tronador, El Bolsón, and private transfers to Cerro Catedral ski area. A genuine convenience for first-timers.
A reasonably well-equipped gym with weight-training machines, available to all guests.
The property's heated pool has both an indoor section and a slightly larger infinity-edged outdoor section, meaning year-round swimming is possible. Popular after a day on the mountain. Some guest reviews note the pool can run cold and the changing area is dated.
