Mirador del Lago Hotel, hotel in El Calafate

Set in a charming building facing the Argentino Lake, Mirador del Lago Hotel offers rooms with stylish décor, and breakfast, 984 feet from the city center.

Loved that it was out of the busy part of town. Close to the lake which was full of flamingos. So fun to walk along the shore. Great breakfast. Happy hour was a good deal for a yummy aperol spritz. Nice and friendly staff.

FAQs about hotels in El Calafate







Patagonia's Glacier Paradise

El Calafate is a small city in Argentinean Patagonia, situated in the foothills of the Andes and on the shores of Argentino Lake. Blending colourful wooden houses and Alpine-influenced architecture, it is the gateway to the Glaciers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in El Calafate and surroundings, from 5-star hotels to cheap hostels.

The area was originally inhabited by the ‘Aonikenk’ people, while the modern settlement grew at the beginning of the 20th century as a refuge along the wool trade route, taking its name from the native blueberry bush known as ‘Calafate’. The town was founded by the Argentinean government in 1927 to promote the colonisation of the area, but its development started only after the creation of the National Park, in 1937.

The famous Perito Moreno Glacier is 80 km from the city. Mount Fitz Roy, the small town of El Chaltén, the romantic Onelli Bay, Lago del Desierto, and Roca Lake are some of the impressive landmarks that make up Argentina‘s 2nd-largest natural reservation. If you want to experience Patagonia’s languid vastness and tranquillity, try some of El Calafate’s rural accommodation or ‘estancias’.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier.

    The only thing to really do is visit the glacier. I thought we could do more to make an extra day worthwhile but the tours to visit the other parts of the park were super expensive. All tours in the area were way too pricey and you can’t really do anything else without a tour. The restaurants are good, but in general I think Chaltén has a lot more to do and see.

    I am a tour guide and I come to calafate with groups, at the end of my work I have a day or two of rest for myself. it is a beautiful city. although it should improve its internet service (it is regular everywhere) and they have too many dogs loose in the streets although they are not aggressive.

    El Calafate is the place to be for visiting the famous Perito Moreno Glacier. We did the Big Ice Adventure with Hiele Aventura and it was amazing. The town itself is fine but very touristy. The waffle café elba'r and the Patagonia Brewery were the best places we went to eat and drink. The Glaciarium was interesting, a very text-heavy museum, lots to read. We went to the Ice Bar there too, however I'd already been to the same concept in another city - if you've been to one, you've been to them all.

    One day stay in El Calafate to do the most popular site of Perito Moreno Glacier is sufficient in my opinion. I took the afternoon bus without any tour guide to the glacier. Tour guides are generally provided in the morning tours.

    Lucas and his wife were very friendly and welcomed us very nicely. Lucas speaks English well and helped us with many suggestions, and we talked a lot. It was a pleasure to entertain conversation with him. The rooms are clean and spacious. The breakfast is enough to start the day. And if you need you can keep your staff in the fridge. If we will have the chance in the future to come back to El Calafate, we will for sure stay here. 100% best spot guarantee! Thank you again! Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭

    This property is walking distance to the main street in El Calafate where all the restaurants and shopping are. It was nice to have the room to spread out a bit after sharing hotel rooms for several days. We also enjoyed having the kitchen so we could fix our own christmas dinner and breakfasts. Rosa met us and showed us the apartment and gave us tips for where to eat out. She was very helpful and easy to reach. The apartment and building were very clean.

    Booked a whole dorm as private room for me and husband. A little strange sleeping in bunk beds but there's a great vibe in the communal areas, the rooms are very warm, the view is amazing and everything is extremely clean. Breakfast was varied and good value for money. Ate dinner at the hostel one night and although the price was approaching restaurant level (albeit with a free wine) the grill was some of the best we've had in Argentina.

    The perfect place to stay in El Calafate. The host was very friendly and the check in / check out was quick and easy. The apartment is great and has lots of additional touches that other places don't have. Free Netflix, fast WiFi (for Argentina), shampoo, soap, full kitchen for cooking, heater, fridge stocked with beer and drinks to buy if you need. Very clean and comfy. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, the sheets were of very good quality, and I had plenty of plump comfy pillows on my bed. Breakfast was the best I've had in southern Argentina, with a buffet offering that even included gluten-free options. Overall, it was my favorite hotel experience on my trip!

    Wonderful view from the hostel. Very spacious place. It was low season when we came, so we practically had the whole hostel to ourselves :D Great wifi for work. *most importantly, this hostel did not take advantage of us as tourists. We didn't even have to show Booking.com terms. They charged us honestly. We stayed at quite a few throughout our 2 months in Argentina, many would add extra charges.
