Introduction

The Hotel IF, called so because the initials I and F represent the first letters of the owners Isabel and Fernando, is a well-thought out, small, modern 15-bedroomed, boutique hotel in the centre of Puerto Natales.

About

The Hotel IF is located in the heart of Puerto Natales, one block from the central plaza. The outside look of being a rather plain, squarish building belies its fresh, welcoming, and interesting interior.

With almost an entire side of the hotel being glass, natural light cascades into each floor. Connecting each floor is an interior, central staircase which is also bathed in the day light. There is no lift here.

Although the hotel is small, there is a sauna and outdoor hot tub for guests’ use as well as an independent restaurant next to the hotel which is also a property of the hotel owners. The restaurant, occupying five transport containers, not only achieves the incredible feat of dramatic surprise when entering, it also offers some of the best food anywhere to be eaten.

On the top floor of the hotel is an outdoor deck from where there are fabulous views of the Senoret Canal and Fiord of Last Hope, but also the snow-covered Mountains at the end of the fiord and the Balmaceda Glacier. You can also see on a clear day the Paine Mountain in Torres del Paine.
