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.
