Holiday Overview
Argentina rewards the curious traveller with a rare mix of cosmopolitan flair and untamed wilderness. This journey takes you from the elegant boulevards of Buenos Aires to the thundering ice of Perito Moreno, the lakeside beauty of Bariloche and the sun soaked vineyards of Mendoza. Along the way you'll share an asado with local hosts, sail past calving glaciers and toast the country's world class Malbec against a backdrop of the Andes. It's a trip that captures Argentina in full, its culture, its landscapes and its extraordinary hospitality.

Pulitzer Buenos Aires
Hotel Pulitzer sits at the heart of Buenos Aires, on Maipú and Paraguay, a boutique hotel among the city's elegant avenues, art galleries, and tree lined parks. Its 104 rooms carry their own personality, each filled with natural light and small details that set them apart from the ordinary. Beyond the doors, the neighbourhood offers local markets and cafés once favoured by the city's writers and artists, a fitting match for a hotel that treats every guest as its very first.
Posada Los Alamos
El Calafate sits on the shore of Lago Argentino, gateway to the Perito Moreno glacier, and this hotel settles into that Patagonian landscape rather than fighting it. Rooms lean into the cold country palette, wood and wool and warm light, built for evenings when the wind outside has a bite to it and the glow of a fire feels earned. Wide windows frame the steppe and the lake beyond, a reminder of just how far from anywhere this corner of the world sits.
NH Bariloche Edelweiss
San Carlos de Bariloche wraps around Nahuel Huapi Lake, and this hotel sits close enough to feel part of the town rather than apart from it. The Civic Centre is a short stroll away, the main shops and restaurants closer still, and excursions often begin right at the door. Inside, rooms lean on locally sourced timber and décor pulled straight from the surrounding landscape, understated rather than showy. Some of the suites and superior rooms catch views of the lake itself, the water changing colour through the day.
Finca Adalgisa
Century old Malbec vines wrap around Finca Adalgisa, a family run manor in Chacras de Coria, a sleepy village twenty minutes outside Mendoza. This finca has a working vineyard with olive and fruit trees where the harvest happens outside your window rather than somewhere off in the distance. Eleven rooms sit across two buildings, the old stone Casa Vieja and the newer Casa de Piedra, each one unique, each with a king bed and private bathroom, some with a terrace or fireplace of their own. Thick stone walls keep the old rooms naturally cool, no air conditioning needed, just shuttered light and quiet.
