Introduction

The Hotel Las Hayas is located in a wooded area at a height overlooking Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel. Rooms are comfortable along with a good restaurant and other facilities like a pool.

About

The hotel was, at one time considered to be the best in Ushuaia. Even though it is no longer “new”, it has been renovated and still offers a certain “grandeur of elegance” from the past.

The hotel enjoys a privileged position within a 5 hectare nature reserve, surrounded by a centennial, Fueguian forest comprising Ñires, Lenga (Beech), sour cherry and Southern beech trees. Also, due to its elevation halfway up a mountain slope, rooms on the Beagle Channel side offer splendid views over Ushuaia and the Beagle Channel. Indeed, to see the dawn break over the Beagle Channel is quite an endearing sight.

Although the hotel is 2.5km (1.5 miles) from the town center, and 1.9km from the port, there are regular transfers operated from the town and airport.

The restaurant, with Beagle Channel views, has and cosy “old fashioned” style and food is contemporary. There is also an English style pub and beauty salon.

For relaxing there is a spa, sauna, hot tub and indoor swimming pool for adults and another for children as well as a squash court.
