The Ski Hotel Termas de Chillan is the original, 5-star ski hotel for the Chillan ski centre. Today it is no longer the exclusive hotel for the resort, but it still offers a good level of accommodation and facilities.
Its interior of natural wood creates a warm and “mountain-cosy” ambience.
The hotel offers 109 guest rooms plus all the facilities usually associated with a higher-end hotel such as: restaurants, games room, bar, gym, a store and even a hair salon. In addition, as the name would suggest, there is a thermally heated hot springs spa adjacent to the main hotel. As well as the thermal pools there is also an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool.
In addition to providing a comfortable stay, skiers can take the piste down from above and ski through the woods to the hotel.
