Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa

Book a bay-facing room or be disappointed! (More below) A difficult one to review - I have to say the service, and the quality of food and drink was incredible, can’t fault it! However two things that might help other travellers: 1 - it’s about 15min drive out of town. It looks closer, but has a long winding road leading up to it, and it’s a pretty boring road to drive on. We didn’t mind TOO much as we had a car, but the reason we chose Arakur was for the views…. 2 - the views!!! I have to say that it seems a little crazy that the bar, restaurant and social areas are right at the bottom of the hotel. You can’t really see the view from them (and that’s the main selling point of this hotel), and where they do have big windows, there’s trees planted in front which spoil the view! We probably wouldn’t have minded had we been allocated a bay-facing room, but we weren’t, we had a mountain-facing room. Fine, but overlooking the usual back-of hotel style work area, before getting to a decent view of the mountains. But the bay is the view you want, and that we thought we’d paid for. We wouldn’t have minded the room view if we’d been able to enjoy it from the bar, but no view there either! Put simply - make sure to book a bay-facing room, or miss out on the view. The only other place you get the view is from the outdoor swimming pool which is awesome!!

This hotel is absolutely lovely. It’s a bit out of town but this doesn’t really matter as they provide a free shuttle up and down to town. Even if you take an Uber, I only paid 6,500ARS. The benefit of being out of town is the gorgeous view of the surrounding areas. It can be pretty cold in Ushuaia so to have the outdoor heated pools is fabulous. I had a massage in the spa and was extremely happy with it. The only strange thing is the window from the bathroom into the bedroom. I found all the staff extremely helpful and would definitely stay here again.

We were taken to this hotel for the day prior to joining our cruise ship. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a buffet lunch which was excellent. The meat selection was wonderful. In the afternoon we swam in the inside and outside pools which was very relaxing. The views from the hotel are stunning.

We didn't stay at the hotel, we just came up for the day to use the spa and hiking trails. We booked the spa ahead of time via email and it was amazing - loved the temperatures of the pools and the views outside are amazing. ||The spa front desk has a hiking map which includes a variety of hikes depending on how much time you have and level of difficulty. We did the yellow loop and the blue up to the viewpoint. Great easy hikes, highly recommend. You check in and out with the spa front desk (or the regular front desk) if you go out for a hike to make sure you return!

What a beautiful hotel! The view from our room and from the dining room is absolutely stunning! Our room was spacious, the food was excellent and the shuttle to town was great! By far, the best hotel during our trip! We wished we could have there stayed longer!

Hotel with outstanding, breathtalking view. Quite surroundings - just nature. They have stable and they organize horse riding tours which I strongly recommend for all levels of horse riders. You can ride some of trails on a horse, and get spectacular views

Wonderful 5 star experience at this wonderful hotel. Everything in the room has been careful thought for and very well designed. Water view room. Awesome pool with very warm water. Restaurant food was great, including the free breakfast. Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa is an exceptional upscale hotel that fully lives up to its prestigious status as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Perched high above the city, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Beagle Channel, the Andes, and Tierra del Fuego National Park—views that alone justify the stay. The architecture blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature, creating a sense of exclusivity, serenity, and grandeur that is rare even among luxury properties.

A lovely hotel perched high above Ushuaia in Terre del Fuego Patagonia Argentina with amazing spectacular view of the Beagle channel and the city. We stayed for two nights in late January in a King room (with a view). The room with its hard-wood floors and comfortable bed felt cozy. The bathroom was equipped with rain showers, tub, toilet and bidet plus double sinks. Water and delicious chocolates were provided each day by the friendly housekeeping staff. We ate several meals in the hotel restaurant including two dinners and two breakfasts (an ample buffet was included in our room rate). The food was good but not quite up to the level of our Buenos Aires hotel. The dining room takes full advantage of the view as well. They run a free shuttle service down (and back) to town on a fixed schedule and the hotel has an indoor pool although we were too busy exploring to find or use it. No AC IN THE ROOM but since 50 is a warm day here all you need to do is pop open one of the small windows (as we did) and it's plenty cool for sleeping. Room was technologically up to date but all charging ports were on the small counter under the TV-nothing bedside. Also the free WiFi was a bit pokey but that probably has more to do with the location of the town-you are literally at the southern-most city in the America's and possibly the world here. (Att service around town vacillated between 3G/LTE! Comfortable and cozy.

The best resort in Ushuaia. Arakur is modern with beautiful amenities, including and indoor outdoor infinity pool with stunning views of the mountains! The staff are all very friendly and can speak English. I've broken down my review into three sections: Rooms, Spa, and Restaurant ROOMS Extremely clean, beautiful interior design, and very comfortable. I love that the curtains auto-open and I love the touch pad on the wall that controls everything from temperature to alarm clock. The rooms feel like a modern luxury, especially with the gorgeous view. Cleaning service is efficient and fantastic. SPA As mentioned above, the pool area is amazing. The waters are heated to a warm temperature and the outdoor jacuzzis stay very hot. The pools even have music playing underwater! There are also massage and facial services but they require appointments to be booked out at least two days in advance! I was not able to book anything because only one masseuse works per day doing both massages and facials. I could not find a time that worked for me during my stay :( My boyfriend received a massage which he said was just "OK". There are sauna rooms but they require reservations as well. RESTAURANT I've had breakfast, lunch, room service, and dinner at Arakur. All dining is served in a large room with big windows overlooking the town. The free breakfast...I thought was okay. It consists of mostly breads and sweets, but you can order eggs and pancakes from the kitchen. The hot foods are buffet style but I did not eat much from the buffet because I don't think the food is safe - they sit at a lukewarm temperature which is a food safety hazard! The dinner buffet also looks so-so. I recommend ordering a la carte, which is definitely pricey compared to the average in Ushuaia. However, everything a la carte I've ordered (including room service) is delicious and the dinner dishes are plated beautifully. All of the a la carte menus are digital via QR Code and, unfortunately, there are no English menus. However, the servers are all very helpful and the menu is small and manageable. I'm being pretty picky. Overall, I loved my stay at Arakur and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking to reside in a secluded, luxurious environment. The only major negative aspect I can think of is that Arakur is a bit secluded from town. It is about a 15min drive down the hill, which has potholes and can be pretty scary to drive on at night. I recommend taking the free shuttle to and from town. We took an old taxi once, in the middle of the night, and it was pretty...terrifying. I thought we were not going to make it all the way up the hill.

Espectacular hotel en Ushuaia! La pileta infinito con vista a la montaña nevada es increíble.

Used to be owned by Sheraton, but now owned by the luxury line, LHR, sits perched at the top of the hill overlooking the city with gorgeous costal views and private hiking trails into the forest behind it. The scenery is incomparable, especially when soaking in the infinity hot tubs perched outside on the hill with views of both the mountains and ocean. The lobby is huge with grand fireplaces comfortable couches and luxurious leather seats. The facilities include free access to the gym with great views, a set of computers to access online as well as free wifi throughout (although notable stronger in the lobby and bar than in your room), and of course the hot tubs and indoor pool with a spa that offers a varied of paid services. The hotel is a bit removed from downtown Ushuaia so you'll have to take a taxi to get to a restaurant (though their is quite good) or shop. It also has a few pleasant hiking trails (a viewpoint, a small loop and larger loop) which makes you feel lost in the woods. But fear not, because trusty Daniela, the hotel dog, will guide you down the right path and hike with you plus she is quite friendly. The rooms are newly redone and feature hardwood flooring, lush comfortable beds, automatic curtains, electricity/heating on a touch pad, waterfall shower heads and tubs with windows to see out the room! It's quite gorgeous and maybe one of the most luxurious hotels I've stayed at. The biggest selling point is the infinity hot tubs that feature beautiful views but that can also be enjoyed by the comfort of your own room.

Arakur offers upscale accommodation in the southern most city in the world. The hotel is a beautifully perched on a hill, offering sweeping views of the Beagle Channel, snow peaked mountains and and the Ushuaia town. It's a bit far from downtown, almost 30 minutes, but the hotel offers free shuttles to and from downtown every hour or so. The check in process was simple and easy. Concierge service is fantastic! The large bags are taken to your room for you. We stayed in a room with king size bed, and the room faces the mountains. The room itself is quite spacious and the decor is contemporary, just the way I love it. Everything can be operated with the press of a switch from your bed - from opening/closing window curtains, dimming lights in the room, etc. The bathroom is very very neat with contemporary style and accessories. As far as the common area is concerned, the lounge is huge, with many tables and chairs and couches, facing the ocean. Breakfast is included, and the spread is pretty good. They also have a few made to order choices such as omelettes, French toasts, pancakes, etc. Two downsides - The walls are thin and if you have a noisy neighbor, then you'll have a hard time falling asleep - WiFi is free, but it's slow They are popular for their infinity pool, which I didn't use. Overall, it's a fantastic option to stay while visiting Ushuaia and I highly recommend it.

Absolutely fabulous! The view over the Channel surrounding the Andes is just spectacular. Service is impeccable. The rooms and accommodations are fantastic. Luxury at the end of the world!

This luxurious hotel at the end of the world is fabulous. The rooms are spacious, the dining both in the bar and the restaurant is good, the wine is cheap and delicious. The downstairs spa with outdoor hot tub is not to be missed. We floated in the warm water as a cold wind blew in from the glaciers to the west. Magical. Staff was friendly: arranging transportation, wine around the pool - everything we needed.
