Extending across a natural balcony that sits 800m/2600ft above sea level, its privileged position provides easy access to a number of the region's fantastic hiking trails whilst ensuring spectacular views over the city of Ushuaia and glacial scenery of the Beagle Channel beyond.
The rooms are comfortable and contemporary in design and the perfect place to rest weary limbs after time spent hiking in the surrounding nature reserve.
