Esplendor by Wyndham El Calafate

Perfect hotel close to town center. Very clean room, nice pool.

We booked 4 nights directly with this hotel. They confirmed our reservation promptly. The hotel responds promptly to emails- requests and questions. Staff are pleasant and always ready to help. The service was excellent. Our check-in/out was quick and hassle free. The lobby is very spacious with lots of seating areas. Our room was spacious and clean, and everything worked well. Bed and pillows were comfortable. There is a bit of road noise, but it did not disrupt our sleep. The room has a safe but no coffee maker or hot water pot. Wi-Fi connection was good throughout the property. Bath amenities are sufficient. Breakfast is included. It is self-service. A simple start with scrambled eggs, ham/cheese, hot/cold beverages, fruits, pastries, and cereals. Enough for a good start in the morning. The hotel is about a 15-minute walk to the town center. There are sidewalks, mostly flat except the hill where the hotel is located. Overall, this is a good place to stay in El Calafate. Most tours offer pick-ups at this hotel. It's about a 20-minute drive from the airport.

We spent only two nights in El Calafate and staying at Esplendor was the perfect way to get a view of the town and lake while staying within walking distance of all the main restaurants, shops, and the lake. We had an early trip to see the Perito Moreno Glacier and breakfast at the hotel was the perfect way to prepare for the long day ahead! We also had an early departure to the airport the next day (6:30am) but still had time to get breakfast in before we left. The room was beautiful - we loved the mountain aesthetic and had a direct view of the lake and mountains from our room.
