5-Star Hotels in San Martín de los Andes — What to Expect
For those who dream of Patagonian lakes and Andean peaks, San Martín de los Andes is the perfect gateway. This charming alpine town sits on the shores of Lago Lácar, a vast glacial lake whose deep blue waters are the centerpiece of Lanín National Park. Visitors come here to hike the trails to viewpoints like Mirador Bandurrias, fly fish for trout in the Chimehuin River, and in winter, ski the slopes of the nearby Chapelco resort. The town’s Swiss-style architecture and cypress-lined streets, like the main Avenida San Martín, offer a cozy base after a day of adventure.
The town itself is compact and walkable, making it ideal for couples and families who want easy access to restaurants and shops. Most visitors fly into Chapelco Airport, just a short drive away, or make the scenic three-hour drive from Bariloche. Staying near the lakefront provides the best views and quick access to the waterfront promenade, while lodgings closer to the civic center put you right in the heart of the local scene.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 19 properties to choose from, ranging from rustic cabins and family-run hostels perfect for budget-conscious explorers to sophisticated lodges with fireplaces and lake views. The selection is dominated by cozy, mid-range hotels that reflect the town’s intimate mountain character.
