Other amenities include a tranquil spa, museum-style public areas with historic industrial equipment, and a curated cocktail bar with views over the channel.
Activities: With 28 seasonal excursions to choose from, guests can explore beyond Torres del Paine, visiting places like Milodon Caves, estancias, Lake Sofia, and Dorotea Hill. Wildlife safaris, e-biking, and cultural encounters provide a rich experience of Patagonia’s nature and heritage.
