Rio Serrano Hotel

The Rio Serrano Hotel’s unique location in front of Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park means that this lodge is surrounded by astonishing nature to form a perfect synthesis of fine design, high quality and sublime comfort – while respecting the area’s fragile ecosystem.  

The hotel gets its name from the sinuous Serrano River, which is born in the waters of Toro Lake and flows into the nearby Ultima Esperanza Sound. All of this makes Rio Serrano the perfect base for those wishing to truly return to nature. For this, the hotel provides a host of daily full- and half-day guided excursions into the park, with activities that include trekking, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing, vehicle tours and boating.

Rio Serrano’s unusual design, with its long sloping buildings, allows for an infinite number of enormous windows that face the park, thereby allowing guests to soak up the picture-perfect postcard views from almost everywhere in the exclusive lodge. What’s more, these spacious social areas emphasize elegance and quality while assuring a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The 4-star hotel’s 95 rooms possess a décor that is both warm and cozy, as the architectonical lines merge the sophisticated with the rustic. These guest quarters have been designed to provide that special home-like atmosphere by using wood and stone in a perfect blend. These elements – together with in-room fireplaces – provide a sense of pure relaxation. And like the social facilities, the individual guest rooms avail themselves of the area’s natural beauty through their spectacular and breathtaking views.

Among other services, the hotel provides a bar with a snack menu, a massage room, four conference rooms, and a restaurant that features regional specialties as well as international dishes.

To complete the picture, this property is rated as the “best value” in Torres del Paine Park, as guests are said to get the most for their money when compared to other area properties.
