Design Suites Calafate offers a wonderful breakfast and dinner, with the added convenience of packed lunch boxes for those heading out on adventures. The hotel’s pool and spa are fantastic, providing a relaxing escape after a day of exploration. Additionally, the hotel is easy to navigate, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A great choice for both relaxation and adventure in Calafate.

It’s located just outside of town, so you'll need to schedule taxis if you want to head into the main area. However, if you prefer a more tranquil setting away from the hustle of town, this location is perfect for you.

Beautiful view of Lago Argentino from the room. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend working with the hotel concierge to coordinate day trips. Given how tight-knit the El Calafate tourism community is, they're able to streamline the trip planning and coordinate directly with tourism companies.

In-room wifi is not dependable - just to be aware if you are planning to do any work from the hotel, though it is stronger in the lobby. The hotel could create a better vibe in the restaurant area. Given that the hotel is not walkable to restaurants, and many guests eat at the hotel restaurant, they could put more effort into making it cozy and welcoming. Currently there is no vibe.

Location

Dinner was not very good. As the hotel is a taxi ride away from town it was the logical place to eat, but except for the empanadas, the food was lousy.

The highest points were the stunning views from Argentino lake from the room. We stayed at the first (ground) floor, the impression we had was that we were sleeping outside. Room was comfortable, clean, bathtub and shower working properly. Reception staff was helpful and polite. The pool was also good. Great place to relax.

The breakfast was very good, but it would be even greater if there were more options. The hotel is located a bit far from the main center, but there are cabs and transfers available.

Location with direct view over the lake was perfect. Nice modern design

Room needs refreshing. One of the window was not closing properly and with strong wind during the night it made a constant vibrating noise. A room of this size should have both a bath and a separate shower, the bathroom had plenty of space to have both. Breakfast was very basic. Quality of food was not commensurate with the level of the price per room.

The design is modern and beautifully considered, the views are wonderful, the breakfasts were excellent, and staff generally friendly

The building needs some maintenance and the lower ground floor electrics kept tripping - we assumed the sauna could be causing it, as it often cut out a while after asking for the sauna to be turned on

The hotel is situated just outside of Calafate. It has a very nice lounge where you can enjoy the beautiful view. The room is spacious and clean. The spa facilities are good but basic. The personnel is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very basic with very limited savory options. I believe that the price could be slightly lower for what the hotel offers.

Breakfast was very limited

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is larger then we expected and has impressive facilities. The room was large and had a nice view towards the water. The sunsets in the morning from breakfast were beautiful. We also enjoyed all the meals we had at the hotel restaurant. We liked the location because it was close to town but also outside of the hustle and bustle (though we did have car so it wasn't difficult to head into town).

It wasn't the most comfortable bed we've ever slept on but it also wasn't something that ruined our stay.

The hotel has a modern architecture and has a beautiful view of the lake. The staff was super friendly and always willing to help. The place was quiet overall.

The free shuttle were actually taxis you had to share with strangers and their schedules were not very convenient. They need a proper shuttle and more frequent trips from and to the downtown. The shower in our first room had issues with the handles. The were not able to properly repair them. The next day we tried to use the hot tub and some internal pipe broke, the room flooded and there was even a short circuit and lights went off. We were assigned to a new room and offered a free dessert from the restaurant as compensation, which was not very generous considering what we went through, However, the staff was always super friendly and helpful.

Our hotel room had a lovely view over Lake Argentino, a glacier lake of a brilliant blue. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Well located for the park and Perito Moreno Glacier

I think those staying at the hotel should be able to eat on site. We were told there was no availability after a long journey.
