EOLO – Patagonia’s Spirit stands right at the heart of this universe.
Only a few miles away from the Andes mountain range and a mere 45 minutes away from Los Glaciares National Park, the hotel takes in its surroundings and translates them into beautiful comfort.
EOLO's design is one that dialogues with its surroundings.
All of its spaces have outside views and the structure's dynamics center around a vital element: the central garden.
This surface facilitates circulation within the installations and allows enjoyment of the outside while finding protection from the Patagonian winds.
EOLO - Patagonia's Spirit was conceived as a place of quiet charm; no excesses, no stridencies... an understated elegance.
It is a starting point and a destination. Inspired in the historic estancias of the area, the entire hotel - from its furniture to its dishware - combines the simple structure of the creole houses with hints of the area's original people and vanguard aspects of modern architecture.
Each of the 17 rooms was conceived in a way that guests can enjoy a profoundly restful sleep and are also able to relish in the contemplation of the scenery from the intimacy of their room.
The pastel colors and the simple lines share the space with antique furniture, which envelops guests in the spirit of a typical southern Argentinian estancia.
The guest rooms have telephone, WiFi, central heating - which may be set at individual preference - and a full set of amenities.
The rooms do not have a TV. EOLO aims to foment a dialogue between the visitors and their surroundings so instead of a TV screen, guests will find cozy couches set in front of large windows with a view that is a true feast for the eyes.
These rooms have a double window in the corner which allows the immensity of the scenery to subtly become part of the room.
It is the highest category and there are only two of these rooms in the hotel. Average surface is 48 square meters.

In the Restaurant’s gastronomy brings together the best of the two worlds that compose EOLO: the chef - Juan Pablo Bonaveri - who has been in charge of the restaurant for the past three years - uses and optimizes regional products while, at the same time, applying international cuisine techniques and aesthetics.
