Torres del Paine Hotels in Patagonia Chile

Lago Pehoe Hostel is a very cute 45-room hotel on a five-hectare island in the middle of Lake Pehoe. Access is via a long wooden bridge.

Many of the rooms have almost exactly the same spectacular view as the very much more expensive Hotel Salto Chico. Inside it's less luxurious though. All rooms are ensuite.

Some people say that the best view of Torres del Paine is from Hotel Salto Chico, because then you can't see Hotel Salto Chico. Although, in truth, the hotel's slightly brutal utilitarian exterior is hidden from most of the Park, and this style is the vernacular.

Inside, it's a different story, soft-colored wood and softer furnishings are a foil to the jaw-dropping Cordillera del Paine outside. It's let in through large panoramic windows, which also frame the impressive Salto Chico Waterfall on the other side of the hotel.

Soft adventure excursions take guests riding, hiking, driving and sailing into the drama and wind of Torres del Paine, but back in time to enjoy the sauna, open-air hot tub or indoor swimming pool and dinner in the excellent Salto Chico Restaurant.

This attractive little hotel is at the Southern end of Lago Grey. Views are pretty good, with icebergs in the foreground and Glacier Grey in the background.

Simple rooms come as singles, doubles and triples, all en suite. There's also a restaurant, a bar, and a deck. Plus internet access.

The hotel can be reached by the road from Puerto Natales. The Hosteria runs trekking trips in the surrounding areas, and it is also quite close to the start of the Torres del Paine W Trek.

Many of these hotels can booked direct online via their websites. For others, BlueGreen Adventures has a Torres del Paine Hotel and Refugio Booking Service.

BlueGreen Adventures in Puerto Natales will book these hotels and also refugios and campsites for
