The art of slowing down
Some hotels impress immediately. Las Balsas reveals itself gradually.
Overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Nahuel Huapi, this Relais & Châteaux property embodies the understated elegance that defines the finest retreats. Originally built as a private lakeside residence, the hotel retains an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy that larger resorts simply cannot replicate.
The interiors are timeless rather than fashionable. Natural light floods the rooms, fireplaces create inviting spaces throughout the property and every corner encourages guests to slow down and embrace the rhythm of the lake.
Days can be as active or as relaxed as you wish. Sailing, hiking, kayaking and private excursions reveal the beauty of Argentine Patagonia, while the hotel’s renowned cuisine celebrates regional ingredients and local traditions.
