Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world. It is also the gateway to some of the best trekking and wildlife experiences in Tierra del Fuego, and the jumping off point to voyage down to Antarctica. Hotels here range from extravagant and luxurious high up in the mountains, to cosy and authentic right in the centre.
Just a short taxi ride out of town lie the hotels with the best views in Ushuaia. Wake up to the sun on the Beagle Channel, and watch the boats float by below.
Los Cauquenes
Los Cauquanes is one of only a handful of places that sits on the shore of the Beagle Channel and is certainly the most luxurious. From your room you can gaze across one of the most beautiful and dramatic stretches of water in Patagonia, enjoying the unique birdlife that frequents these shores and distant mountains of Isla Navarino. The hotel is traditional yet comfortable and spacious, and there’s a spa for resting your legs after a day exploring the national park. Just 6km west of Ushuaia nip into town with an easy 15-minute journey by shuttle bus or taxi.
Arakur
The Arakur sits in the mountains above Ushuaia and offers extraordinary views over the Beagle Channel. They have a private nature reserve which offers at least half a day of wonderful hiking and exploration either with or without a guide. You’ll be 20 minutes from town by shuttle bus or taxi. If you want to get a feel for the wilderness of Tierra del Fuego rather than the urban life of Ushuaia, and have the budget, then this is the best option.
Las Lengas
For an economic option in Ushuaia, Las Lengas provides a comfortable place to base yourself during your stay in the city. The Rooms are compact and very modern, with the main attraction being the public areas and bar with magnificent views over the Beagle Channel. Remodelled about 10 years ago, this hotel boasts a contemporary energy-efficient construction and design, and is a 10 minute walk from most attractions and restaurants.
Cilene del Faro
Made up of 48 spacious and modern apartments, this option is perfect for those who want a bit more space. The apartments are self-catered, giving you the freedom to cook when and what you want. Guests also have access to the spa and swimming pool.
Alto Andino
This is a modern hotel just two blocks from San Martin, the main street in Ushuaia. The breakfast room is up on the top floor and has clear views out across the water; as do some of the bedrooms on the higher floors. There are also a couple of apartments if you prefer the independence of cooking for yourself from time to time. Staff are very friendly and the hotel is light, airy and spacious.
Cilene del Fuego Suites & Spa
Smart apartment-style accommodation with an excellent location and wonderful views of the Beagle Channel and the mountains.
Albatros
The original 4-star hotel, and part of an Argentinian hotel group, the Albatros has the most central location in town, directly in front of the port. The hotel has a spa and lots of well-decorated public areas.
Mil810
Located in the centre of town, it offers a warm and modern atmosphere with unique views of the Beagle Channel and the Fuegian Andes.
Most hotels are just 10-15 minutes from the centre. The upmarket hotels offer a shuttle service, and a taxi will only cost around $10 USD.
If you have a hotel near the main street, San Martin, then you'll easily be able to walk to the port in just 5 minutes.
Ushuaia is the disembarkation point for the majority of cruises to Antarctica. This means that it has a very seasonal demand in November through to February and the hotels often struggle to fill their rooms during the rest of the year, pushing up prices.
The Tierra del Fuego National Park is 11km west of town and can be reached either by bus or taxi.
