El Casco Art Hotel

Top choice in Bariloche


Nestling on a land spur overlooking Lago Nahuel Huapi, this intimate boutique hotel is both for art lovers (the place is decorated with over 500 pieces of contemporary Argentine art) and those that appreciate the finer things in life: hot tubs overlooking the water, a luxury spa, a fine restaurant, and mod cons in the spacious, bright rooms.
