Introduction
The Altiplanico Sur Lodge is a small 22-room hotel built into the natural hill side so as to be almost camouflaged out of site. The blended use of cement and wood work well to create a minimalist interior design that is both clean, cosy and refreshingly different.
About
The Hotel Altiplanico Sur is part of a family of Altiplanico hotels dotted around key touristic destinations throughout Chile. The French owners have a flair for creating a unique, refreshing ambience through their creative use of materials, design, colours and architecture.
The Altiplanico Sur comprises 22 rooms, each spacious, with views to the fiord and under floor-heated, en-suite bathrooms.
From the moment you enter the hotel higher up the hill the immediate impact is the sight of seeing the grass outside just above the low point of the hall windows. The main hall then descending through the ground as though it were headed into another dimension.
The hotel is built very cleverly into the hillside it occupies in such a way that it is hardly noticeable when looking from the outside.
The two levels of horizontal placed rooms have their roofs covered over with grass and that, combined with an exterior veneer of earthen bricks hides the hotel from sight and enables it to blend in perfectly with the natural landscape. If only all buildings could be constructed in the same way!
At one end of the room corridors is an exterior hot tub for those who wish to soak in hot water amid the freshness of the Patagonia wind.
Where is the Hotel Altiplanico Sur?
The Altiplanico lodge is located 3km from Puerto Natales, slightly up a hillside about 500mts from the main road that runs adjacent to the Fiord of Last Hope. It offers quietness yet is also close enough to get into Puerto Natales by walking, on a bike or in a taxi.
The Rooms
The hotel offers 22 rooms, each with a direct view out of the large windows to the Fiord of Last Hope (Seno de Ultima Esperanza).
Rooms have matrimonial or twin bed configurations, en-suite bathrooms that are heated underfloor.
The interior decoration is minimalist, but adorned with items and materials that work well together to create a natural harmony.
The only thing to note is that the height of the beds is low, should you be a person who has difficulty getting up.
