Introduction
The Hotel Remota is the artistic result of the architect German del Sol, who is one of the most recognised architects in Chile. His idea has been to create a building that is “part of the earth” and, at the same time, reflects the vast expanse of open space in Patagonia.
About
The Remota Patagonia Hotel is unique. Firstly, from the outside it looks “weird”. Sprawled on a hill side the building forms a badly shaped square with one end open, and the exterior dark colouring does not “look pretty”.
However, as soon as you enter this building you are met with a massive space of modernity. Incredibly high ceilings, wide seating sectors, large tables, interior fire pits and floor to ceiling windows enabling a great view to the beauty of Patagonia outside.
It is not cosy, so if you are looking for that feeling then this is not the hotel for you. But it is interesting, new, and creative and after a couple of nights you will probably love the place.
In our view this is one of the best hotels in Patagonia.
The ethos of the hotel is one of “being natural”, being part of the natural environment. For this reason, the roofs are covered by grass, the exterior is cladded in thick old railway-sleeper wood, and the interior has incredibly high ceilings to create the sense of vast, open space as well as generate natural ventilation.
The earthen covering on the roof and insulation in the walls, together with ample day light filtering in via floor-to-ceiling windows enables the building to be energy efficient and use little by way of heating fuel for a building of this size. The hotel uses stainless steel water refill bottles to cut down the use of plastics and for laundry and pool maintenance the chemicals used are free of contaminant. Paper, cardboard, aluminium, and glass are recycled.
There are 72 bedrooms, located in two separate arms, or wings, of the hotel and the two wings are connected by a long, narrow tunnel-like hallway.
In addition to the rooms there is a separate building that houses the indoor, eternity swimming pool, sauna and massage rooms. Although one needs to walk via the outdoors to the pool, once in it is rather unique to be able to relax and swim whilst view the natural beauty of Patagonia immediately the other side of the window. Again, in the swimming pool building the windows are floor to ceiling.
The restaurant in the main building offers high-end food using local ingredients and fresh vegetables, accompanied with top wines from Chile.
