An inviting base for Antarctic journeys and Patagonian adventures
Hotel Albatros is a welcoming retreat for travellers seeking comfort and adventure at the edge of the world.
Location
Right in the heart of Ushuaia, Hotel Albatros places you perfectly for exploring the world’s southernmost city. Just a short stroll from the Beagle Channel and cruise pier, with cafés, shops, and museums all nearby, it’s a great base for anyone beginning or ending an Antarctic journey. The wilderness of Tierra del Fuego opens up, from windswept national parks to mountain-backed glacial lakes.
Rooms
With windows that frame mountain or channel views, there’s a warmth to the rooms here that makes them feel immediately welcoming. From classic doubles to spacious junior and master suites, each room comes with a full en-suite bathroom, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches like blackout curtains and turndown service. What we love: some suites have whirlpool tubs, perfect for warming up after a Patagonian day out.
Amenities
After a day of adventure, the Albatros is somewhere you can truly unwind. The spa is a peaceful retreat after a day in Patagonia’s wild landscapes. You’ll find a jacuzzi, dry sauna, and a steam room designed to ease tired muscles and warm you through after a snowy walk or windswept boat ride. There’s a small gym if you’re feeling active, and massage treatments can be arranged on request. It’s not flashy, but it’s exactly what you need to slow down and reset; guests often tell us how welcome it feels after the chill of the Beagle Channel.
The Prana Restaurant serves up Patagonian-inspired dishes and a generous breakfast spread each morning. Guests love the relaxed lounge and bar area, ideal for a quiet drink or catching up with fellow travellers.
Activities
You’re wonderfully placed to make the most of everything this region offers. Beagle Channel boat trips, the End of the World Train, and hikes through Tierra del Fuego National Park are all close by. In winter, the hotel runs a shuttle to the nearby ski slopes at Cerro Castor, one of the southernmost ski resorts on Earth.
Sustainability
Hotel Albatros holds a Bronze “Hoteles Más Verdes” certification, a small but meaningful step towards more sustainable travel in Patagonia. Water and energy use is carefully managed, waste is reduced where possible, and eco-conscious choices are woven into the hotel’s daily operations.
