Design Suites Bariloche

A stylish hotel overlooking picturesque Nahuel Huapi Lake
Fantastic lake views a warm hospitality

Nestled on the shores of the picturesque Nahuel Huapi Lake, Design Suites Bariloche invites travellers to indulge in a truly unique and sophisticated retreat.

Location
Set into a forested hillside just outside Bariloche, this lakeside retreat offers the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to explore the town’s chocolate shops and artisan markets, but far enough to enjoy quiet mornings with birdsong and sweeping views of Lake Nahuel Huapi. It’s a spot that feels gently secluded, with nature wrapped around you in every direction.

Rooms
With floor-to-ceiling windows and plenty of natural wood and stone, the rooms at Design Suites make the most of their setting. Choose from classic doubles to spacious suites with deep whirlpool tubs and balconies looking over the lake. Guests love the sense of space and light, especially in the larger rooms where you can unwind in privacy after a day outdoors. It all feels quietly contemporary, yet warm and inviting.

Amenities
There’s a beautifully designed indoor-outdoor pool that flows from a warm spa area out into the fresh Patagonian air - it’s one of our favourite features. You’ll also find a small gym, sauna, massage services, and a cosy wine bar tucked beside a rotating contemporary art gallery. Meals are served in the hotel’s relaxed dining space, with hearty Patagonian flavours and lake views on the side.

Activities
From here, you’re well-placed for both adventure and downtime. In winter, you’re within easy reach of the slopes at Cerro Catedral. In summer, there’s hiking, biking, kayaking, or simply settling in with a good book and a view. The team are helpful and happy to recommend local guides and quiet spots you might otherwise miss.

Sustainability
Design Suites Bariloche is thoughtfully designed to harmonize with its breathtaking Patagonian surroundings. The architecture embraces natural materials like wood and stone, reflecting the region's alpine beauty. Inside, you'll find eco-friendly features such as energy-efficient LED lighting, double-glazed windows, and energy-saving switches in guestrooms, ensuring comfort while minimizing environmental impact. The hotel also prioritizes sustainability through the use of eco-friendly cleaning products and toiletries, contributing to a cleaner and greener environment.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. We're particularly grateful that she suggested a private 'bush lunch' in the Ngorongoro Crater as the public picnic spot was very busy! I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, Okonjima Plains camp, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. Although not inexpensive I felt it was good value for the level of luxury we had. Kwessi Dunes, Shipwreck lodge, Ongava, Okonjima with pit stops Windhoek (city tour recommended ), Swakopmund (Sandwich Harbour and Walvis Bay tour) and Grootberg lodge (best sundowner drive )

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at Omali lodge at Sao Tome, then on Roca Sundy, and Sunday Praia at Principe - a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. Omali is close to Sao Tome town with its colonial buildings, markets, hustle and bustle. Roca Sunday gives an old plantation experience and Sundy Praia a luxury beach experience. Very friendly (from time to time a bit slow) service, great fresh food, specifically if you like fish/seafood, vegetables and fruits (almost all sourced locally). Nice temperature between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, nice swimming conditions. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel (and I believe are) very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps, Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and Muchenenje Safari Lodge in Botswana, was spot on and exactly what we had hoped for - ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was, as usual for that part of the world, also good at the time of our visit. Blue skies and stunning sunsets. Warm but not too hot during the day, although quite cold at sunrise when viewing game. The viewing started. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
