Torres Del Paine Luxury Lodges

The main building is carved into the earth so as to be as unobtrusive as possible to the naked eye and camouflage into the natural landscape. It has a unique architecture of an aeroplane- wing-shaped roof to cut into the Patagonia wind, oodles of interior space, huge picture windows the length of the dining room, bar and lounge area offering unparallel views to the Sarmiento Lake, and the stunning Torres del Pine central massif the other side.

The modern white exterior of the square-edged, block-like appearance of the hotel betrays what is inside. The Salto Chico Hotel is the “pioneer” hotel that started the new concept of luxury accommodation with all food (good food), services and facilities included in the cost that has snce been emulated by other luxury lodges throughout Chile. It occupies an enviable location in TDP with stunning views from each bedroom (on the cordillera side), restaurant and lounge areas over Lake Pehoe and the massive Cuernos (meaning horns) de Paine at the end. Cosy rooms with sufficient space to not be cramped, bathrooms of reasonable size, nicely finished and decorated, also with viewing windows from which you can admire the TDP Massiff whilst attending to natures call!

Awasi Patagonia Location

The hotel is located in a wooded area on a hill east of the main Torres del Paine central area. Getting here involves an extended drive from the principal entry road into Torres del Paine.

Description

The property comprises a number of rectangular-shaped private suites individually placed within the trees, connected by footpaths to the main lodge. Clients need to either walk back and forth to the main lodge or can be transported in a vehicle.

Each suite is spacious, modern in style with deluxe-level furnishings. Bathrooms are also spacious, modern and in a high-end style as one would expect from a high-end property. There are large, picture windows along the length of the suite that allow for a stunning view out over the Patagonian landscape and in the distance over to the Torres of Torres del Paine. Each suite also has its own outdoor hot tub.

The main lodge, where people come to relax, read, have a cocktail and enjoy dinner, is adorned with comfy chairs and sofas, large lamps, paintings and sketches on the walls. From the dining area there is the same view as there is from the suites – out over the Patagonian landscape. Food is high level, but can be described also as “sophisticated”. Meals can also be taken to your suite for private dining.

The USP of Awasi is that every suite, therefore each couple, gets their own dedicated driver-guide and vehicle for the duration of their stay, meaning that all tours are private.
